India's PLI Schemes Achieve Investment and Production Targets but Lag in Job Creation
India's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes have achieved 76% of their investment target and 64% of production goals across 14 sectors by March 2026, according to a NITI Aayog report. However, employment generation lags significantly at just 28% of the target, with job creation concentrated in food processing, electronics, and pharmaceuticals. The schemes have boosted exports and manufacturing but face challenges in translating investments into widespread job growth. NITI Aayog suggests refining the schemes and addressing sectoral disparities to enhance long-term impact.
