Centre to expand product coverage under Rs 10,683 crore textile PLI, says Giriraj Singh
The Centre is set to broaden the scope of its ₹10,683-crore Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the textile sector, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said on Tuesday.
Speaking to PTI, Singh confirmed that the government will “certainly expand” the list of eligible product categories under the scheme. Currently, the PLI covers segments such as man-made fibre (MMF) apparel, fabrics, and technical textiles.
The proposed expansion is expected to provide a boost to the industry by improving ease of doing business, attracting fresh investments, and accelerating overall sectoral growth. It also aligns with the government’s broader push to generate employment and strengthen India’s position in the global textile market.
Singh noted that the sector has undergone a significant shift in recent years. While technical textiles previously received limited attention, the current policy framework places strong emphasis on their development, reflecting changing industry dynamics and growing global demand.
