Thirty-one companies were approved to participate in the manufacturing of networking and telecom products under the scheme, which was announced in February 2021.

For various product types and categories, it provides incentives ranging from 4 to 7%. For micro, small, and medium-sized businesses, the incentive is one percent higher (MSMEs).

Following the Covid-19 pandemic, the program was updated, and the department approved participation for 42 companies. There were 28 MSMEs in it. Of the 42 businesses, 17 produced goods using a design-led approach.

More than 42 businesses have committed to investing Rs 4,115 crore during the program’s duration, producing an extra Rs 2.45 trillion in sales, and providing jobs for more than 44,000 people. The quantity of applications shows how interested business is in turning India into a global center for the manufacture of networking and telecom equipment, according to the Ministry of Communications.

The businesses on the list were Tejas Networks, Panache Digilife, Vihaan Networks, HFCL, ITI, Netlink ICT, and Netweb Technologies.
