Challenges and Opportunities in India's IT Hardware Market
India faces significant challenges in producing PCs and laptops domestically despite the booming demand fueled by the smartphone market. A key initiative driving this growth is the Production Linked Incentives (PLI) scheme, which incentivizes local manufacturing but has faced hurdles due to high investment costs and a shortage of skilled labor. While the government has successfully increased smartphone production, the transition for laptops and PCs has been slower, leading to continued reliance on imports, primarily from China. Future plans to stricter import regulations and local production incentives present a potential turning point, providing local manufacturers like Mr. Businessman with a chance to thrive against imports.
