- (a) to (e): Keeping in view India's vision of becoming 'Atmanirbhar', Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes for 14 key sectors were 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.

The purpose of the PLI Schemes is to attract 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, employment and economic growth over the next five years or so.

PLI  Schemes  for  all  14  Sectors  have  been  notified  by  the  concerned Ministries/ Departments after due approval. These Schemes are in various stages of implementation by the implementing Ministries/ Departments. As on date, 764 applications have been approved under PLI Schemes across 14 sectors. The details of the approved applications sector-wise has been placed at Annexure I . Applications under PLI Schemes are approved in the name of registered companies which may have multiple manufacturing units across  India  and  hence,  state  specific  number  of  beneficiaries  under  the Scheme is not available. The  state-wise number of manufacturing units has been placed at Annexure II .

Actual investment of Rs. 1.52 lakh crore have been realized till November 2024 across 14 sectors, which has resulted in incremental production/sales of over Rs. 13.37 lakh crore and employment generation of over 11 lakhs. PLI  Schemes  have  witnessed  exports  surpassing  Rs.  5  lakh  crore  with significant contributions from sectors such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food processing.

- (f) to (h): All  the  approved  sectors  identified  under  PLI  Schemes  follow  the  broad criteria of focusing on key technologies where India can leapfrog and multiply employment, exports and overall economic benefits for the economy. These sectors  were  approved  after  vetting  by  NITI  Aayog  and  after  detailed deliberations  with  concerned  Ministries/  Departments.  As  on  date,  Union Cabinet has not approved any proposal to add any new sectors under PLI Schemes.
