Under this upgraded approval by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Calcom has increased its investment commitment from Rs 10 crore to Rs 25 crore — and has already deployed the entire amount well ahead of the scheme’s five-year timeline

Calcom Vision Limited, 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 development that reaffirms Calcom's commitment to driving 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 10 crore to Rs 25 crore — and has already deployed the entire amount well ahead of the scheme's five-year timeline. This bold move underscores Calcom's speed, scale, and strategic foresight in seizing India's next major 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), critical components in building a fully integrated domestic LED supply chain.

The Rs 6,238 crore 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 10,478 crore in investments has been committed by 84 approved companies, with production targets surpassing Rs 1.72 lakh crore by FY2028–29.

Calcom's upgraded commitment alone is projected to unlock Rs 15.96 crore in performance-linked incentives, driven by Rs 150 crore in incremental sales by FY2026–27 — more than double the original projections under the initial PLI phase.

"We're Not Just Manufacturing — We're Nation-Building,"Abhishek Malik, Executive Director, Calcom Vision Ltd., 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 25 crore 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."
