Design Linked Incentive or DLI Scheme 2026 guidelines available to download in PDF format at chips-dli.gov.in. The Design Linked Incentive (DLI) Scheme will help offset the disabilities in the domestic industry involved in semiconductor design in order to strengthen the semiconductor chip design ecosystem in the country.
DLI Scheme 2026
The Design Linked Incentive (DLI) Scheme aims to offer financial incentives as well as design infrastructure support across various stages of development and deployment of semiconductor design(s) for Integrated Circuits (ICs), Chipsets, System on Chips (SoCs), Systems & IP Cores and semiconductor linked design(s) over a period of 5 years.
Design Linked Incentive Scheme Objectives
- Nurturing and facilitating the growth of the domestic companies, startups and MSMEs.
- Achieving significant indigenization in semiconductor content and IPs involved in the electronic products deployed in the country, thereby facilitating import substitution and value addition in electronics sector.
- Strengthening and facilitating access to semiconductor design infrastructure for the startups and MSMEs.
