DPIIT Grants PLI Upgrade to Calcom; Rs 250 Mn Invested in LED Expansion

Calcom Vision, one of India’s foremost Original Design Manufacturers (ODM) and Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers, has been elevated to the Large Investment category under the Government of India’s prestigious Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for White Goods — a leap that reaffirms Calcom’s commitment to powering India’s self-reliance in LED component manufacturing.

Under this upgraded approval by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Calcom has increased its investment commitment from Rs 100 million to Rs 250 million — and has already deployed the entire amount ahead of the scheme’s five-year schedule. This bold move showcases Calcom’s speed, scale, and strategic foresight in seizing India’s next big manufacturing opportunity.

With this milestone, Calcom’s portfolio of eligible products has expanded significantly to include LED Drivers, Modules, Engines, Mechanical Housings, Heat Sinks, Diffusers, and Light Management Systems (LMS) — key components in building a fully integrated domestic LED supply chain.

Backing Aatmanirbhar Bharat with Action, Not Just Intent. This advancement aligns squarely with the Government of India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India missions. The Rs 62.38 billion PLI Scheme for White Goods is accelerating India’s emergence as a global manufacturing hub for LED components and air conditioners. As of early 2025, Rs 104.78 billion in investments has been committed by 84 approved companies, with production targets surpassing Rs 1.72 trillion by FY2028–29.

Calcom’s upgraded commitment alone is projected to unlock Rs 150.96 million in performance-based incentives, driven by Rs 1.50 billionin incremental sales by FY2026–27 — more than double its original sales projections under the initial PLI phase.

"We’re Not Just Manufacturing — We’re Nation-Building"

Abhishek Malik, Executive Director of Calcom Vision, remarked, “This PLI upgrade isn’t just a government nod — it’s a bold validation of Calcom’s role in India’s industrial future. We’ve front-loaded our entire Rs 250 million investment ahead of time, and we’re only getting started. Our vision is clear: to lead India’s LED revolution with innovation, agility, and purpose. As India localises components and ramps up exports, Calcom is ready to be the design-led, globally competitive partner the country needs.”

Calcom’s world-class, 30,000 sq. meter manufacturing hub in Greater Noida, equipped with end-to-end R&D and backward integration, stands ready to anchor India’s shift toward energy-efficient lighting and next-generation smart electronics.
