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. 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

- (a) to (e): Empowered Group of Secretaries (EGoS).

As on September 2025, 806 applications have been approved under Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes across 14 sectors. Actual investment of Rs. 2 lakh crore have been realized which has resulted in incremental production/sales of  over Rs. 18.7 lakh crore, employment generation of over 12.6  lakhs,  and  exports  surpassing  Rs.  8.2  lakh  crore  with  significant contributions from sectors such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, Automobiles and food processing.

The cumulative  incentive  amount  of  Rs.  23,945  crore  have  been  disbursed under  PLI Schemes for 12 sectors, namely Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing (LSEM), IT Hardware, Bulk Drugs, Medical Devices, Pharmaceuticals, Telecom & Networking Products, Food Processing, White Goods,  Automobiles  &  Auto  components,  Specialty  Steel  Drones  &  Drone Components and Textiles.

The sector-wise approved outlay and cumulative disbursement up to September 2025 under PLI Scheme are given at Annexure-I, while the yearwise disbursement is provided at Annexure-II. Disbursements are recorded at the beneficiary level rather than on a state-wise basis, as companies may have manufacturing units located across different states.

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.

The Production Linked Incentive Schemes are under implementation and still continuing as per their scheme tenures.
