India Extends Medical Devices PLI Scheme to 2035-36 with Rs 2,700 Crore Outlay
The Indian government has extended the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for medical devices until 2035-36, allocating approximately Rs 2,700 crore for fresh applications. The revised scheme simplifies eligibility by removing minimum sales thresholds and lowering investment requirements, allowing manufacturers three years to establish facilities across four segments: medical consumables, critical components, nascent high-end devices, and devices currently only assembled domestically. The initiative aims to boost domestic manufacturing, reduce import dependence, and enhance competitiveness in advanced medical technologies.
