“Based on what we get from the expressions of interest that we have received and the extensive discussions that we have had with all the major players in this space over the past three months...we will attempt to come out with a scheme or incentive structure based on which we will then invite proposals to set up such manufacturing within India. within the next six months,” Sawhney said.
While speaking at the launch of a joint report written by apex industry body India Cellular & Electronics Association (ICEA) and Grantwood Research on the subject ‘Creation of a Display Industry in India’.The secretary IT said that India has room for over 3-4 large investments in the display fab manufacturing area.

India should focus on two types of display fabs, namely, Gen 6 fabs for smartphone displays, and Gen 8.5 fabs for all other product categories. As per the report from IESA, there are a total 39 mass producing display fabs in the world, of which 24 are located in China, which will add 13 more in the next five years.
