The government is in the process of modifying the production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes for textiles, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. A cabinet note has been finalized to make these sectors more attractive for companies participating in the PLI program. The move aims to enhance investment in sectors beyond electronics, pharma, food processing, and telecom, which have been the primary beneficiaries of the PLI schemes so far. A ₹1.97 lakh crore PLI scheme covering 14 sectors, including textiles and pharmaceuticals, was announced in 2021.
