THE TRIGGER FOR THE LISTING
The firm said in its DRHP, " Since March 2021 we have been expanding our business into industries other than mobile phones, with a focus on high-growth industries that benefit from market tailwinds, including mechanics, electric vehicles, televisions, and hearables.
Some of these industries are expected to benefit from regulatory support such as production-linked incentive schemes (“PLIs”), which are part of the Government of India’s “Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan”, or Self-Reliant India, campaign, which seeks to provide a range of PLIs and other benefits for manufacturing in India."
"Our applications for PLIs for the mobile phone, telecom and networking products, and IT hardware industries have been approved in October 2020, October 2021, and July 2021.
Given the significant under-penetration and increasing per capita usage of these products in India, the country’s total addressable EMS market is expected to grow to US$135 billion by Financial Year 2026 with a CAGR of 30.3% between Financial Years 2021 and 2026, giving us substantial growth opportunities to diversify into these new high-growth industries and provide new categories of customers with a range of service offerings, " it said.
