The Indian government has extended the deadline for submitting fresh applications under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Textiles until March 31, 2026. This extension follows a strong response since the application portal reopened in August 2025, with proposals received for man-made fibre apparel, fabrics, and technical textiles. The move aims to boost domestic manufacturing, enhance global competitiveness, and create employment opportunities within the sector.
