India’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Textiles continues to gain momentum, with 170 companies approved across MMF apparel, MMF fabrics and technical textiles segments. As of March 31, 2026, the scheme has attracted investments of Rs 8,117.64 crore, generated a turnover of Rs 11,241 crore, and created employment for 33,427 people, according to information shared by the Ministry of Textiles in Parliament.
Among the approved participants, 89 companies are in technical textiles, while 43 are in MMF apparel and 38 in MMF fabrics, highlighting the growing industry focus on value-added and high-performance textile products.
The ministry also informed that 225 products have been notified under the scheme, covering a wide spectrum of MMF apparel, MMF fabrics and technical textile applications. These include products for healthcare, defence, automotive, agriculture, sports, geotextiles, protective wear and advanced fibre-based materials.
To ensure effective implementation, the scheme is being regularly monitored by the Ministry of Textiles and the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). A dedicated Project Management Agency (PMA) and a centralized PLI portal have also been put in place for performance tracking and verification.
The latest figures indicate that the PLI Scheme is steadily strengthening India’s capabilities in man-made fibre and technical textiles, sectors considered crucial for enhancing the country’s global competitiveness and achieving higher textile exports.
