Textiles Ministry reopens PLI scheme applications to boost exports

The Ministry of Textiles has reopened the application window for its Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, inviting fresh submissions until the end of this month. The scheme covers manmade fibre (MMF), apparels, fabrics, and technical textiles, and is aimed at driving large-scale investments, innovation, and sustainability to enhance India’s global competitiveness.

Under the programme, eligible companies will receive performance-linked incentives based on incremental turnover generated through new investments and expanded production capacities.

Shaleen Toshniwal, Chairman of the Manmade Fibre & Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council (MATEXIL), welcomed the move, noting that it will benefit firms that missed out earlier.

Toshniwal urged exporters and manufacturers to utilise the opportunity to modernise operations, expand capacity, and diversify product portfolios, adding that MATEXIL will extend full support to industry members during the application process to help them maximise benefits.
