Telecom Secretary Neeraj Mittal has said that the government is looking to improve the telecom Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme and sought the views and inputs from Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) for the new, better scheme.
Noting that small, innovative companies are building some ‘excellent’ products, he said he wished to see MSMEs vie and compete not only for public sector tenders but also mark their presence in private sector orders.
He further said the telecom component ecosystem must develop in India. He also observed that it is not good enough to bring sub-systems and assemble them here and bring efficiencies in the low-value addition part. He added that the startup ecosystem will be a driver and enabler of employment, technology and manufacturing, going forward.
