Samsung has not applied for the production-linked incentive scheme for telecom gear manufacturing, while Swedish telecom gear maker Ericsson participates through its vendor Jabil Circuit.
The government is learned to have received 37 applications for the scheme, including from leading global manufacturers like Foxconn and its subsidiary Rising Star, Flex, Sanmina SCI, and Nokia, as well as Indian companies Dixon Technologies, HFCL, and Coral Telecom.
“Samsung has not applied for the scheme,” an official source told PTI.
An email query sent to Samsung did not elicit any reply. Samsung supplies telecom gear to telecom major Reliance Jio. Swedish telecom gear maker Ericsson confirmed that it participates in the PLI scheme through its vendor Jabil Circuit.
“We are pleased to confirm our participation in the PLI scheme for the telecom sector through our partner Jabil. Being the first telecom vendor to start manufacturing in India in 1994, the additional investments made under the PLI scheme will help us scale up our Pune facilities where we are currently manufacturing 4G and 5G telecom equipment,” Ericsson India head Nitin Bansal said.
