10 Key Sectors Introduced under PLI
Scheme for Enhancing Exports and Manufacturing Capabilities
The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister,
Narendra Modi has given its approval to introduce the Production-Linked Incentive
(PLI) Scheme in the following 10 key sectors for Enhancing India’s Manufacturing
Capabilities and Enhancing Exports – Atmanirbhar Bharat
on 11 November 2020.

The PLI scheme will be implemented by the concerned
ministries/departments and will be within the overall financial limits prescribed.
The final proposals of PLI for individual sectors will be appraised by the Expenditure
Finance Committee (EFC) and approved by the Cabinet. Savings, if any, from one PLI
scheme of an approved sector can be utilized to fund that of another approved sector
by the Empowered Group of Secretaries. Any new sector for PLI will require fresh
approval of the Cabinet.
The PLI scheme across these 10 key specific sectors
will make Indian manufacturers globally competitive, attract investment in the areas
of core competency and cutting-edge technology; ensure efficiencies; create economies
of scale; enhance exports and make India an integral part of the global supply chain.
·
ACC battery manufacturing represents one of the largest economic opportunities
of the twenty-first century for several global growth sectors, such as consumer
electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy. The PLI scheme for ACC battery
will incentivize large domestic and international players in establishing a competitive
ACC battery set-up in the country.
·
India is expected to have
a USD 1 trillion digital economy by 2025.
Additionally, the Government's push for data localization, Internet of Things market
in India, projects such as Smart City and Digital India are expected to increase
the demand for electronic products. The PLI scheme will boost the production of
electronic products in India.
·
The automotive industry is a major economic contributor in India. The PLI
scheme will make the Indian automotive Industry more competitive and will enhance
globalization of the Indian automotive sector.
·
The Indian pharmaceutical industry is the third largest
in the world by volume and 14th largest in terms of value. It contributes 3.5% of
the total drugs and medicines exported globally. India possesses the complete ecosystem
for development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and a robust ecosystem of allied
industries. The PLI scheme will incentivize the global and domestic players to engage
in high value production.
·
Telecom equipment forms a critical and strategic
element of building a secured telecom infrastructure and India aspires to become
a major original equipment manufacturer of telecom and networking products. The
PLI scheme is expected to attract large investments from global players and help
domestic companies seize the emerging opportunities and become big players in the
export market.
·
The Indian textile industry is one of the largest in
the world and has a share of ~5% of global exports in textiles and apparel. But
India's share in the manmade fibre (MMF) segment is low
in contrast to the global consumption pattern, which is majorly in this segment.
The PLI scheme will attract large investment in the sector to further boost domestic
manufacturing, especially in the MMF segment and technical textiles.
·
The growth of the processed food industry leads to better
price for farmers and reduces high levels of wastage. Specific product lines having
high growth potential and capabilities to generate medium- to large-scale employment
have been identified for providing support through PLI scheme.
·
Large imports of solar PV panels pose risks in supply-chain
resilience and have strategic security challenges considering the electronic (hackable)
nature of the value chain. A focused PLI scheme for solar PV modules will incentivize
domestic and global players to build large-scale solar PV capacity in India and
help India leapfrog in capturing the global value chains for solar PV manufacturing.
·
White goods (air conditioners and LEDs) have very high potential of domestic value
addition and making these products globally competitive. A PLI scheme for the sector
will lead to more domestic manufacturing, generation of jobs and increased exports.
·
Steel is a strategically important
industry and India is the world's second largest steel producer in the world. It
is a net exporter of finished steel and has the potential to become a champion in
certain grades of steel. A PLI scheme in Specialty Steel will help in enhancing
manufacturing capabilities for value added steel leading to increase in total exports.

PLI schemes in the following sectors:

The Prime Minister's clarion call for an 'AatmaNirbhar Bharat' envisages policies for the promotion of
an efficient, equitable and resilient manufacturing sector in the country. Growth
in production and exports of industrial goods will greatly expose the Indian industry
to foreign competition and ideas, which will help in improving its capabilities
to innovate further. Promotion of the manufacturing sector and creation of a conducive
manufacturing ecosystem will not only enable integration with global supply chains
but also establish backward linkages with the MSME sector in the country. It will
lead to overall growth in the economy and create huge employment opportunities.
