## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO STARRED QUESTION NO. 105 FOR ANSWER ON 30 TH  JULY, 2024.

- (a): Keeping in view India's vision of becoming 'Atmanirbhar', Production Linked Incentive  (PLI)  Schemes  for  14  key  sectors  have  been  announced  with  an outlay of Rs. 1.97 lakh crore to enhance India's Manufacturing capabilities and Exports.

The  14  sectors  are:  (i)  Mobile  Manufacturing  and  Specified  Electronic Components, (ii) Critical Key Starting Materials/Drug Intermediaries & Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, (iii) Manufacturing of Medical Devices (iv) Automobiles and Auto Components, (v) Pharmaceuticals Drugs, (vi) Specialty Steel,  (vii)  Telecom  &  Networking  Products,  (viii)  Electronic/  Technology Products, (ix) White Goods (ACs and LEDs), (x) Food Products, (xi) Textile Products: MMF segment and technical textiles, (xii) High efficiency solar PV modules, (xiii) Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery, and (xiv) Drones and Drone Components.

- (b): The  purpose  of  the  PLI  Schemes  is  to  attract  both  domestic  and  foreign investments in key sectors and cutting-edge technology; ensure efficiency and bring economies of size and scale in the manufacturing sector and make Indian companies and manufacturers globally competitive.

These  schemes  have  the  potential  of  significantly  boosting  production, increasing manufacturing output and contributing to faster economic growth in future. There is evidence of increasing foreign investment also in several PLI sectors. E.g Apple, a global smartphone company, has shifted its suppliers to India viz. Foxconn, Wistron and Pegatron.

- (c) to (e): PLI Schemes for all 14 Sectors have been notified along with guidelines by the concerned  Ministries/  Departments  after  due  approval.  These  Schemes  are regularly  reviewed  by  the  concerned  Ministries/  Departments  as  well  as Empowered Group of Secretaries (EGoS).

Actual investment of Rs. 1.23 lakh crore have been realized till March 2024 across 14 sectors, which has resulted in incremental production/ sales of over Rs. 10.31 lakh crore and employment generation of around 8 lakhs. Incentive amount of Rs. 9,721 crore have been claimed under PLI Scheme for 9 sectors, namely  Large  Scale  Electronics  Manufacturing  (LSEM),  IT  Hardware,  Bulk Drugs,  Medical  Devices,  Pharmaceuticals, Telecom  &  Networking  Products, Food Processing, White Goods and Drones & Drone Components.

Individual  cases  have  been  approved  over  a  period  of  time,  through  a transparent  mechanism.  Projects  are  implemented  over  a  period  of  time ranging from 2 years to 3 years, depending on the nature of manufacturing and claims are usually made after 1 st  year of production.

Hence,  most  of  the  projects  are  at  implementation  stage  and  will  be  filing incentive claims in due course.
