The scheme aims at boosting Indian textile manufacturing and increase exports. The government had announced an outlay of ₹1.97 lakh crore for PLI schemes for 13 sectors in the union budget for fiscal 2021-22.
The scheme is expected to cover around 40 MMF apparel product categories and around 10 in the technical textile category. An incentive of 3 to 11 per cent of the incremental revenues' year-on-year for five years may be provided to existing as well as proposed investments in the sector.
Guruprasad Mohapatra, secretary of the department of promotion of industry and internal trade (DPIIT), had told the 44th India-Japan Business Cooperation Committee Meeting in March this year that India looks forward to Japan participating in the PLI scheme for 13 key sectors.
