India’s PLI Auto and Advanced Chemistry Battery Incentive Schemes See Delays and Increased Payouts
The Indian government’s production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes aim to boost manufacturing in the automotive and advanced chemistry battery sectors. The PLI Auto scheme expects payouts to rise to ₹4,700 crore in FY27, more than doubling last year’s disbursal, despite slower-than-expected product qualification. Meanwhile, the ₹18,100 crore PLI Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) scheme, designed to support battery manufacturing, faces a two-year delay with timeline extensions granted to key companies like Ola Electric and Reliance Industries. Both schemes focus on promoting clean mobility and indigenous production capacity.
