The PLI scheme is designed to promote the production of man-made fibre fabrics, MMF garments, and technical textiles, Apparel Resources India reported. According to the Ministry of Textiles, the objective is to scale up manufacturing capabilities, improve global competitiveness, and attract investment in value-added textile products.

Of the 74 applications approved under the scheme, 24 are from micro, small, and medium enterprises. The Ministry anticipates a total turnover of $25.32 billion (Rs 2.16 lakh crore) over the scheme period, including both domestic sales and exports.

For the 2026 financial year, around 22% of the Ministry’s budget is allocated to the PLI Scheme, the Apparel Export Promotion Council announced on Facebook. The overall budget outlay for the Ministry of Textiles stands at $616 million (Rs 5,272 crore), marking a 19% increase from the previous year.

To support exporters, the Government continues to offer incentives through the RoSCTL scheme for garments and made-ups, and the RoDTEP scheme for other textile products. Additional funding is also channelled into Export Promotion Councils and trade bodies under the ‘Market Access Initiative’ to facilitate domestic and international participation in trade events.
