The plan rewards phone makers for sales, exports, Indian design, research, and local sourcing.
Dixon Technologies is already a large phone manufacturer and expects the scheme to support more exports.
It is also expanding production of camera modules and displays.
Amber Enterprises is newer to mobile manufacturing and is working with Oppo Mobiles.
Amber plans to start commercial production in FY28 and increase its output in FY29.
Dixon starts with a much larger business, while Amber is trying to build a new one.
