NITI Aayog Reports Rs 2.4 Lakh Crore Investment Under PLI Schemes with Employment Lag
India's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes across 14 sectors have attracted Rs 2.4 lakh crore in investments and generated Rs 22.66 lakh crore in production by March 2026, according to a NITI Aayog and IIM Ahmedabad assessment. While exports and manufacturing gains are notable, employment generation reached only 28% of the target. Incentive disbursements stand at 18.5% of the allocated Rs 1.91 lakh crore, reflecting the schemes' performance-linked design and varying sectoral progress. The government is considering tweaks to address uneven manufacturing gains and import dependence.
