The Government of India announced that its 14 Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes have successfully attracted ₹1.76 lakh crore in investments and generated production worth more than ₹16.5 lakh crore as of March 2025. These initiatives have also facilitated the creation of over 12 lakh jobs across sectors like electronics, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and telecom, marking the PLI programme as a cornerstone of India’s industrial and economic strategy .

In a further boost, ₹21,534 crore has been disbursed under these PLI schemes to date, supporting manufacturing in key areas such as large-scale electronics, IT hardware, pharmaceuticals and bulk drugs, telecom and networking products, and food processing—reinforcing the push to increase domestic output, reduce import reliance, and grow exports.

These figures were confirmed at a review meeting chaired by Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, who emphasized the PLI programme’s vital role in strengthening manufacturing capabilities, enhancing global competitiveness, and creating widespread employment opportunities.
