New Delhi, May 2 (KNN) As per feedback and suggestions received from the industry, the Ministry of State for Electronics and IT (MeitY) has decided to review the Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme and make necessary changes. 

Addressing the media at the Semicon India 2022 conference, the IT Minister for state Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that based on the feedback received through this conference it has brought to our attention that the DLI scheme has been designed to be very narrow.
