In a move set to bolster India’s textile exports, the Ministry of Textiles has announced the reopening of its portal for fresh applications under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for textiles. The scheme covers manmade fibre (MMF), apparels, fabrics, and technical textiles, and will remain open for submissions until the end of this month.
The PLI scheme aims to encourage large-scale investments, foster innovation and sustainability, and strengthen India’s global competitiveness in the textile sector. Eligible companies will receive performance-linked incentives tied to incremental turnover achieved through fresh investments and expanded production capacities.
Welcoming the move, Shaleen Toshniwal, Chairman of the Manmade Fibre & Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council (MATEXIL), said the reopening of the PLI window would particularly benefit companies that were unable to apply earlier. “With incentives designed to reward growth and investment, this scheme offers Indian companies a unique chance to scale up operations and strengthen their global competitiveness,” he noted.
Toshniwal urged exporters and manufacturers to seize the opportunity before the deadline, underlining that the scheme could help them modernise operations, expand capacities, and diversify their product portfolios.
He further assured that MATEXIL will provide complete guidance and handholding support to exporters and investors during the application process, working closely with the Ministry of Textiles to ensure industry members derive maximum benefits from the initiative.
