New Delhi, 20 February (H.S.): The Central Government has disbursed ₹28,748 crore across 14 sectors, including electronics and pharmaceuticals, under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes designed to bolster domestic manufacturing.
Launched with a substantial outlay of ₹1.91 lakh crore, these initiatives have galvanized robust industry participation in 14 critical sectors, aiming to fortify India's manufacturing ecosystem and enhance localization.
According to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the PLI framework—with its ₹1.91 lakh crore incentive budget—represents a pivotal reformative endeavor to strengthen India's manufacturing base. The approval of 836 applications underscores strong industry confidence and widespread adoption, fueling sustained expansion in production capacities.
By December 31, 2025, the schemes had greenlit 836 applications across these 14 sectors, attracting over ₹2.16 lakh crore in total investments, generating sales exceeding ₹20.41 lakh crore, and driving exports surpassing ₹8.3 lakh crore. They have also created more than 14.39 lakh direct and indirect jobs, culminating in the ₹28,748 crore payouts by that date.
The government announced these PLI schemes in 2021 across 14 sectors with an initial ₹1.97 lakh crore commitment, explicitly to invigorate domestic manufacturing.
