What happened
Manufacturers in the electronics PLI programme are adding local suppliers for enclosures, PCBs and passive components to meet value-addition thresholds.
Why it matters
New local supply can cut import lead times, but immature tier-two vendors raise quality and capacity risk during the festive and year-end ramp.
Actionable signal
Procurement directors should dual-source localised parts, audit supplier capacity before awarding volume, and keep import fallback contracts live.
