"domestic-manufacturing"

In Amaravati, the Andhra Pradesh government plans to develop rare earth and titanium-based minerals from its beach sand reserves, aiming to reduce dependence on China, build a coastal value-addition corridor, and boost domestic manufacturing for clean energy and defense

The government introduced the PLI scheme to encourage an incentive-led model for manufacturing, attracting advanced technologies, bringing in economies of scale and meeting quality standards.

"Domestic electronic manufacturing has grown rapidly. We are now exporting items like mobiles and chargers," Sitharaman said.
