DLI Scheme implementation

The Design Linked Incentive (DLI) Scheme aims to provide financial incentives as well as design infrastructure support across various stages of development and deployment of semiconductor design for Integrated Circuits (ICs), Chipsets, System on Chips (SoCs), Systems & IP Cores and semiconductor linked design  with an aim to achieving significant indigenization in semiconductor and electronic products and IPs deployed in the country, thereby facilitating import substitution and value addition in electronics sector in the next 5 years. As per the approval accorded by Cabinet, DLI Scheme is being implemented by C-DAC.

The Design Linked Incentive (DLI) Scheme shall offer financial incentives as well as design infrastructure support across various stages of development and deployment of semiconductor design for Integrated Circuits (ICs), Chipsets, System on Chips (SoCs), Systems & IP Cores and semiconductor linked design over a period of 5 years.

Salient Features
