The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Automobile and Auto components proposes  financial  incentives  to  boost  domestic  manufacturing  of  Advanced  Automotive Technology products and attract  investments  in  the  automotive  manufacturing  value  chain. Its  prime  objectives  include  overcoming  cost  disabilities,  creating  economies  of  scale  and building a robust supply chain in areas of Advanced Automotive Technology products.  It will also generate employment.  This scheme will facilitate the Automobile Industry to move up the value chain into higher value added products.  It is estimated that this scheme will attract large investment worth Rs. 42,500 crores and incremental production of Rs. 2,31,500 crore over five-year period.

(c): Yes Sir, the Government on 12 th May, 2021 approved a Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for manufacturing of Advance Chemistry Cell (ACC) in the country.  The total outlay of the scheme is Rs. 18,100 Crore for a period of 5 years. The scheme envisages to

establish  a  competitive  ACC  battery  manufacturing  set  up  in  the  country  (50  GWh). Additionally,  5GWh  of  niche  ACC  technologies  is  also  covered  under  the  Scheme.    The scheme  proposes  a  production  linked  subsidy  based  on  applicable  subsidy  per  KWh  and percentage of value addition achieved on actual sales made by the manufacturers who set up production units.  This scheme will facilitate reduction of import dependence of ACC battery.

(d): Online portal  with  the  URL;  https://pliauto.in  has  been  developed  for  administering the  PLI  Scheme  for  Automobile  and  Auto  Component  Industry  including  submission  of online application.  Scrutiny & Appraisal for all online applications will be done by Project Management Agency (PMA).  Based on fulfillment of basic eligibility criteria, approval for applicants will be granted by Ministry of Heavy Industries.
