    The Union Budget 2024 of India has introduced a complete set of initiatives aimed at stimulating growth in the technology sector. The budget places a strong focus on promoting innovation and development in various key areas, including mobile phones, printed circuit boards (PCBs), chargers, space technology, solar energy, and the IT sector. Here are the crucial highlights of the initiatives.

    Mobile Phones

    Reduced Customs Duties

    The government has announced a reduction in customs duties on particular parts and components used in manufacturing mobile phones. This move aims to make mobile phones more affordable for consumers and encourage local production of mobile devices.

    Expansion of the PLI Scheme

    The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme has played a crucial role in enhancing domestic manufacturing and is set to undergo further expansion. This initiative incentivizes companies to increase their production output, reducing dependence on imports and strengthening the local mobile phone industry.

    Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and Chargers

    Increased Domestic Manufacturing

    There was a solid push to expand the domestic production of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and chargers on a budget. These components play an important role in the electronics manufacturing ecosystem. The aim is to decrease dependence on imports and stimulate job creation within the country.

    Investment in R&D

    The government has made a big financial allocation for research and development with the primary goal of revolutionizing and enhancing the manufacturing processes of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and chargers. This strategic initiative is aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of Indian products in the global market, facilitating greater innovation and higher quality standards.

    Space Technology

    Space Economy Fund

    A new Rs.1,000 crore space economy fund has been put in place with the specific goal of supporting startups and encouraging private sector participation in space technology. The primary objective of this fund is to promote and nurture innovation and advancement in satellite technology, launch services, and space exploration. This initiative aims to further solidify India’s footprint in the global space industry by providing necessary financial support to budding enterprises and encouraging new developments in this rapidly evolving sector.

    ISRO Funding

    The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) received a boost in funding to further strengthen its missions and projects. This increased financial support will enhance satellite capabilities, facilitate deep space exploration, and drive advancements in space research and technology.

    Public-Private Partnerships

    The budget aims to promote increased cooperation and partnership between the public and private sectors within the space industry. It seeks to encourage joint ventures and the pooling of resources to expedite progress in space technology.

    Solar Energy

    Rooftop Solarization

    Up to 300 units of Free electricity per month will be offered to one crore households through the implementation of rooftop solar panels. The primary objective of this initiative is to encourage the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources, thereby contributing to a reduction in carbon emissions and promoting sustainable energy practices.

    Investment in Solar Projects

    Considerable investments have been allocated for large-scale solar projects to increase the share of renewable energy in the national grid, supporting India’s goal of achieving sustainable energy security.

    IT Sector

    Innovation Funding

    Rs. 1 lakh crore has been allocated to promote research and innovation in the private sector. This fund aims to provide long-term financial support to stimulate progress and advancements in the IT sector.

    AI Development

    The Indian government is encouraging the development of artificial intelligence by setting up Centers of Excellence (CoEs) to advance research and development in AI, even though no new dedicated AI initiatives have been announced this year.

    Support for MSMEs

    The Indian government has given top priority to providing timely and adequate funding for technology in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This ensures these businesses obtain the necessary resources and knowledge to contribute to economic growth and energy security.
