- (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.

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.

The PLI scheme is expected to have a cascading effect on the country's MSME ecosystem. The anchor units that will be built in every sector are likely to set a new supplier/vendor base in the entire value chain. Most of these ancillary units are  expected  to  be  built  in  the  MSME  sector.  Out  of  the  764  applications approved under various PLI Schemes till date, 176 applications under MSMEs category have been approved in sectors namely Bulk Drugs, Medical Devices, Pharma, Telecom, White Goods, Food Processing, Textiles & Drones.

- (b): The PLI Scheme for White Goods has been approved with an outlay of Rs. 6,238 crore.
