- Companies can avail 4-6% incentive on yearly net incremental sales (global/domestic sales included)

- At least 60% of sales of components towards AC or LED production needed, up to 40% sales can be to non-AC/LED segments

- Investments in components for Room or Commercial HVAC systems, R&D, tooling, utilities etc. will be incentivised

- The deadline for application submissions is 12 October, 2024

3) Invest India further supports companies in evaluating market opportunities in electronics, including in terms of state incentives available beyond the PLI, which can provide further 25-30% capex incentives, as well as electricity duty exemptions and interest rate subsidies for companies working to establish / expand their manufacturing operations.

Interested companies wishing to evaluate these and discussing the support needed in terms of market evaluations, National / State Incentive comparisons, shortlisting land packages, supplier / partner connects, or business case advisories, can request to schedule a 1x1 interaction with Invest India by filling in the survey: https://www.investindia.gov.in/form/PLIWG-survey
