Textiles Ministry Reopens PLI Scheme with Lower Turnover Threshold and Extended Tenure
The Ministry of Textiles will reopen the application portal for the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Textiles from November 1 to December 31, 2026, under Round 4. The scheme's minimum turnover requirement for Part 2 applicants has been reduced from Rs 200 crore to Rs 100 crore to encourage greater MSME and mid-sized unit participation. The scheme tenure is extended to the financial year 2033-34 for new approvals, aiming to boost manufacturing of man-made fibre apparel, fabrics, and technical textiles, attract investment, generate employment, and strengthen India's global textile position.
