India captured the global smartphone market share.
Now, PLI 2.0 is about winning the supply chain. Time to push local value addition past 55%. 📲

With PLI 1.0 wrapping up, the Finance Ministry and MeitY are tightening the screws for the next phase. The Expenditure Finance Committee is demanding stricter localization thresholds.

The Core Blueprint:
📍 PLI 2.0 will aggressively subsidize companies localizing high-value components (display assemblies, camera modules, batteries). It aligns perfectly with the 75 component manufacturing facilities currently being built under the ₹40,000 Cr ECMS umbrella.

📍 The Numbers: India is aiming to leapfrog from 18-20% local value addition to over 55%. This sits on top of a massive foundation: the previous scheme generated ₹11.01 Lakh Cr in total production, exceeding it's initial benchmark at 136%.

📍 While ratings firms like ICRA note that a 55% target is highly ambitious for a still-developing ecosystem, this is a necessary structural play. #MakeinIndia #Tech

The ₹1 lakh crore RDI Fund is rewriting India’s deeptech future.
India’s deeptech ecosystem is entering it's growth phase.

VCs are aggressively launching dedicated funds to tap into the government’s massive ₹1 lakh crore RDI (Research, Development & Innovation) Fund.

Key moves:
• Kalari Capital exploring ₹500-600 Cr deeptech fund.
• Blue Ashva Capital planning ₹300-400 Cr vehicle in 2026.
• Technology Development Board (TDB) has already selected 22 startups & started disbursing funds. Plans to directly deploy ₹500-600 Cr.

Deeptech funding in India has already touched nearly $1 Billion in FY26.

Focus areas: Spacetech, semiconductors & chips, robotics, defence, biotech, and energy transition.

Why it matters: Deeptech requires patient capital with longer gestation periods (5-10+ years). The govt + VC combo is finally providing that dry powder.

Implication: This could be the foundation for India’s next wave of unicorns and national champions in critical technologies. #Economy #Aatmarnirbharbharat
