## वाणिज्य एवं उद्योग मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री ( श्री णिणिन प्रसाद ) THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

- (a) to (d): 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  (over  US$26  billion)  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 of now, no such proposal for addition of new sectors under PLI scheme is under consideration.

Approved  products  under  PLI  Schemes  have  been  strategically  selected  to align with  national  goals,  increase  production  capacity,  enhance  global competitiveness and promote exports in critical sectors  such  as electronics, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, textiles etc., ensuring their alignment with the objectives of Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Actual investment of Rs. 1.46 lakh crore have been realized till August 2024 across 14 sectors, which has resulted in incremental production/sales of over Rs.  12.50  lakh  crore  and  employment  generation  of  over  9.5  lakhs.  PLI Schemes have witnessed exports surpassing Rs. 4 lakh crore with significant contributions  from  sectors  such  as  electronics,  pharmaceuticals,  and  food processing. For example, export of mobile phones has increased more than two-fold since the inception of PLI Scheme and capacity has been created for production of critical bulk drugs in India such as bio-pharmaceuticals, complex generics, orphan drugs, anti-cancer drugs etc.
