Summary
The medical devices sector must increase local value addition and component manufacturing. Government officials are open to industry suggestions for PLI scheme beneficiaries. Many companies invested but could not claim incentives for various reasons. The government aims to incentivize component makers more than assembly operations. Increased domestic value addition is a key objective for the sector.
