NITI Aayog Reports Progress and Challenges in India's PLI Manufacturing Schemes
India's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes across 14 sectors have attracted Rs 2.40 lakh crore in investments and generated Rs 22.66 lakh crore in production as of March 2026, according to a NITI Aayog report. While nearly 70% of targeted segments, especially electronics, telecom, and pharmaceuticals, are on track, employment generation remains below target at 8.49 lakh jobs. The government is considering tweaks to address uneven manufacturing gains and reduce import dependence, with particular attention to enhancing benefits for micro, small, and medium enterprises.
