The Ministry of Textiles has approved 17 new applicants under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Textiles in the third round of selections, marking a major push to strengthen India’s manufacturing capabilities in Man-Made Fibre (MMF) Apparel, MMF Fabrics, and Technical Textiles.
Under this round, the newly selected companies have committed a total investment of ₹2,374 crore. Their proposed projects are expected to generate projected sales exceeding ₹12,893 crore and create employment opportunities for around 22,646 people in the coming years, further boosting industrial growth and job creation in the sector.
The PLI Scheme for Textiles, launched on September 24, 2021, with an approved outlay of ₹10,683 crore, aims to scale up domestic manufacturing, enhance global competitiveness, and accelerate the growth of priority segments such as MMF and Technical Textiles. With the latest approvals, the total number of beneficiaries under the first three rounds has reached 91 applicants, following 74 selections in earlier rounds.
To widen industry participation and attract further investments, the Ministry has recently notified major amendments to the Scheme. Additionally, the online application portal has been reopened, allowing new applicants to submit proposals until December 31, 2025.
The latest approvals reaffirm the government’s continued focus on transforming India into a global hub for advanced textiles through targeted incentives, scale-building, and sustained industry engagement.
