India Reopens Textile PLI Scheme with Lower Turnover Threshold and Extended Tenure
The Indian government will reopen the application portal for the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for textiles from November 1 to December 31, lowering the minimum turnover threshold from Rs 200 crore to Rs 100 crore to encourage greater MSME participation. The scheme, extended until fiscal year 2033-34 for new applicants, aims to boost manufacturing of man-made fibre apparel, fabrics, and technical textiles, attract investment, generate employment, and strengthen India's global textile competitiveness. Industry leaders have welcomed these changes as supportive for growth and export opportunities.
