ANSWER
वाणिज्य एवं उद्योग मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री (श्री णिणिन प्रसाद)
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY
(SHRI JITIN PRASADA)
(a) to (e): Keeping in view India's vision of becoming 'Atmanirbhar', Production Linked
Incentive (PLI) Schemes for 14 key sectors were announced with an outlay of
Rs. 1.97 lakh crore to enhance India's Manufacturing capabilities and Exports.
PLI Schemes for all 14 Sectors have been notified along with guidelines by the
concerned Ministries/ Departments after due approval. These Schemes are
regularly reviewed by the concerned Ministries/Departments as well as
Empowered Group of Secretaries (EGoS).
As on September 2025, 806 applications have been approved under Production
Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes across 14 sectors. Actual investment of Rs. 2
lakh crore have been realized which has resulted in incrementalproduction/sales of over Rs. 18.7 lakh crore, employment generation of over
12.6 lakhs, and exports surpassing Rs. 8.2 lakh crore with significant
contributions from sectors such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, Automobiles
and food processing.
The cumulative incentive amount of Rs. 23,945 crore have been disbursed
under PLI Schemes for 12 sectors, namely Large Scale Electronics
Manufacturing (LSEM), IT Hardware, Bulk Drugs, Medical Devices,
Pharmaceuticals, Telecom & Networking Products, Food Processing, White
Goods, Automobiles & Auto components, Specialty Steel Drones & Drone
Components and Textiles.
The sector-wise approved outlay and cumulative disbursement up to
September 2025 under PLI Scheme are given at Annexure-I, while the year-
wise disbursement is provided at Annexure-II. Disbursements are recorded at
the beneficiary level rather than on a state-wise basis, as companies may have
manufacturing units located across different states.
In order to address and facilitate the disbursement of incentive claims, the
Ministries/ Departments have undertaken a number of steps which include the
provision for quarterly disbursement of claims. Further, effective coordination
between the State Governments and Ministries to fast-track regulatory
approvals has reduced the project commissioning time. The Standard
Operating Procedures developed by the respective Ministries/ Departments
have reduced the compliances for claiming incentives. Complete online claim
process along with the grievance redressal mechanism in the portal has also
helped in timely disbursement of the claims.
The Production Linked Incentive Schemes are under implementation and still
continuing as per their scheme tenures.
