urbanisation, infrastructure creation and improvement in the quality of life of a vast

initiatives, such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for LED Components &
Drivers and the National Policy on Electronics (NPE), aim to make India a global hub for
electronic system design and manufacturing. We are excited to participate on the long-term
growth potential of the Indian economy as a major superpower.
