After giving a miss to telecom parts PLI scheme last year, South Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung has applied for Modi government's over Rs 12,000 crore incentive programme to boost local manufacturing of 4G and 5G telecommunications equipment, reports Economic Times.
The scheme, which has a financial outlay of Rs 12,195 crore and was notified in February last year by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), has been amended in April this year to facilitate design-led manufacturing for which Rs 4,000 crore was set aside.
