## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) to (e) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION DY. NO. 367 FOR ANSWER ON 19 TH  AUGUST 2025.

- (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 and cutting-edge technology in  key  sectors;  ensure  efficiency  and  bring  economies  of  size  and  scale  in  the manufacturing  sector  and  make  Indian  companies  and  manufacturers  globally competitive. All the approved sectors identified under PLI Schemes follow the broad criteria  of  focusing  on  key  products  and  technologies  where  India  can  multiply employment, exports and overall economic benefits for the economy.

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. 1.90 lakh crore have been realized till June 2025 across 14 sectors, which has resulted in incremental production/sales of over Rs. 17 lakh crore and  employment generation of over 12.3 lakhs (both direct and indirect). PLI Schemes have witnessed exports surpassing Rs. 7.5 lakh crore with significant  contributions from sectors such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, telecom & networking products, food processing among others.

As  on  date,  806  applications  have  been  approved  under  PLI  Schemes  across  14 sectors. The  details of the approved  applications sector-wise are placed at Annexure  1 . The  data under PLI schemes  are  not maintained state-wise/ constituency-wise.

The  impact  of  PLI  Schemes  has  been  significant  across  various  sectors  in  India. These  schemes  have  incentivized  domestic  manufacturing,  leading  to  increased production, job creation and a boost in exports. Some of the major sectoral impacts include the pharmaceuticals sector which has witnessed cumulative sales of Rs. 2.66 lakh crore out of which exports of Rs. 1.70 lakh crore has been achieved in the first three  years  of  the  scheme.  The  scheme  has  contributed  to  India  becoming  a  net exporter of bulk drugs (2280 cr.) from net importer (-1930 cr.) as was the case in FY 2021-22. It has also resulted in significant reduction in gap between the domestic manufacturing capacity and demand of critical drugs.

Similarly,  under  the  PLI  Scheme  for  medical  devices,  21  projects  have  started manufacturing of 54 unique medical devices, which include high end devices such as Linear  Accelerator  (LINAC),  MRI,  CT-Scan,  Heart  Valve,  Stent,  Dialyzer  Machine, C-Arm, Cath Lab, Mammograph, MRI Coils, etc. Further in the electronics sector, the production  of  mobiles  in  value  terms  has  increased  by  around  146%  from  INR 2,13,773 Cr in 2020-21 to INR 5,25,000 crore in 2024-25 as per industry association and DGCIS. During the same period, exports of mobile phones in value terms has increased by around 775% from INR 22,870 crore in 2020-21 to INR 2,00,000 crore in 2024-25.

Cumulative  incentive  amount  of  Rs.  21,689  crore  have  been  disbursed  as  on 31.07.2025  under  PLI  Scheme  for  12  sectors,  namely  Large  Scale  Electronics Manufacturing (LSEM), IT Hardware, Bulk Drugs, Medical Devices, Pharmaceuticals, Telecom & Networking Products, Food Processing, White Goods, Drones & Drone Components, Specialty Steel, Textile products and Automobiles & Auto components. The detail of year-wise incentive disbursement is placed at Annexure-II . State-wise figures for disbursements, etc. are not available as beneficiary companies may have multiple manufacturing units across the country.

In order to address and facilitate the disbursement of incentive claims, the Ministries/ Departments  have  undertaken  a  number  of  steps  which  include  the  provision  for quarterly disbursement of claims. Further, effective coordination between the State Governments and Ministries to fast-track regulatory approvals has reduced the project commissioning time. The Standard Operating Procedures developed by the respective  Ministries/  Departments  have  reduced  the  compliances  for  claiming incentives.  Complete  online  claim  process  along  with  the  grievance  redressal mechanism in the portal has also helped in timely disbursement of the claims.
