Indian official discusses textile policy with fabric samples.
The Indian government is set to expand its Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the textile industry, according to Giriraj Singh. The expansion aims to include man-made fibre apparel, fabrics, and technical textiles under the scheme’s umbrella.
The move is designed to boost the textile sector by attracting further investment and accelerating growth, with a focus on enhancing job creation and strengthening India’s position in the global textile market.
The initial PLI scheme, with an outlay of Rs 10,683 crore, has already spurred investment in the sector. The expansion is expected to further incentivize domestic production and reduce reliance on imports.
In related discussions, the government has also engaged with the footwear industry to address raw material challenges, signaling a broader effort to support domestic manufacturing across various sectors.
