Key beneficiaries of this extension include automakers, component manufacturers, and other stakeholders in the automotive ecosystem. The scheme offers financial incentives based on the incremental production of goods, encouraging companies to scale up their manufacturing capabilities and contribute to the 'Make in India' initiative.
