🔆 Mobile Phone Manufacturing Scheme (MPMS)
📍 Why in News?
✅ Government notified MPMS with ₹62,500 crore outlay for FY 2026–27 to FY 2030–31, succeeding PLI-LSEM.
✅ Focus shifts from assembly-led volume growth → domestic value addition, Indian IP, R&D and supply-chain deepening.
📍 Key Features
✅ TS1: Large-scale mobile manufacturing — incentive 2.25–5% on incremental sales.
✅ TS2: Indian-owned brands — 5% + 3% additional incentive for Indian design/R&D.
✅ Domestic sourcing bonus: Up to 1.5% for sourcing key components domestically.
✅ TS2 requires Indian ownership, IP/trademark in India and in-house R&D.
📍 PLI-LSEM → MPMS
✅ PLI-LSEM: Primarily focused on scaling production and attracting global manufacturers.
✅ MPMS: Adds explicit emphasis on Indian brands, IP, design and component localisation.
📍 Why Important?
✅ India has achieved strong growth in mobile-phone production and exports, but domestic value addition remains relatively low, with key components still imported.
✅ MPMS seeks to move India from “assembly in India” to “value creation in India.”
📍 Challenges
✅ Limited domestic ecosystem for semiconductors, displays and battery cells.
✅ Building globally competitive Indian brands requires a longer time horizon than the five-year scheme.
✅ High eligibility thresholds may limit participation by MSMEs and smaller manufacturers.
✅ Ensuring genuine Indian IP ownership and R&D may pose monitoring challenges.
🎯 Mains Application:
MPMS represents a shift from production-linked incentives towards value-chain deepening, but its success will depend on strengthening component ecosystems, domestic R&D and globally competitive Indian brands.
