PLI Scheme for Textiles Reopens for Fresh Applications
The Ministry of Textiles has announced the re-opening of the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme portal for the textiles sector. This fresh application window is aimed at encouraging more participation from companies in MMF apparel, MMF fabrics, and technical textiles.
The portal will remain open until 31st August 2025. This gives eligible companies a renewed opportunity to apply and benefit from the scheme’s incentives.
Why the PLI Scheme Matters
The PLI Scheme for Textiles is a flagship government initiative designed to boost domestic manufacturing and enhance exports. It focuses on high-growth segments such as man-made fibre (MMF) apparel, MMF fabrics, and technical textiles—all of which are critical for global competitiveness.
By offering production-linked incentives, the scheme encourages investment, drives innovation, and creates jobs in the textile sector.
The decision to reopen the application portal comes after multiple requests from industry stakeholders. Many companies sought another chance to participate in the scheme, especially those who were unable to apply during the earlier window.
The Ministry’s move reflects its commitment to supporting the textile industry’s growth and meeting its export potential.
Who Can Apply
All eligible companies engaged in manufacturing MMF apparel, MMF fabrics, or technical textile products can apply. The terms and conditions remain unchanged and will apply as notified earlier through the official scheme guidelines.
Applicants must ensure they meet the investment, turnover, and production criteria specified in the Ministry of Textiles guidelines.
How to Apply
Interested companies should visit the official PLI Scheme for Textiles portal at pli.texmin.gov.in. The portal contains detailed application procedures, eligibility requirements, and FAQs.
The Ministry advises companies not to delay and to submit their applications well before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues.
Benefits for the Textile Sector
The scheme is expected to boost production capacity, attract foreign investment, and strengthen India’s position in the global textile supply chain. It will also help promote sustainable manufacturing practices, particularly in high-performance technical textiles.
According to industry experts, the additional application window could lead to a surge in investments, especially from medium and large-scale enterprises aiming to scale their operations.
Deadline and Next Steps
The re-opened application portal will close on 31st August 2025. Once applications are reviewed and approved, selected companies will receive production-linked incentives based on their performance metrics.
Companies are urged to prepare all necessary documents in advance and ensure compliance with the scheme’s guidelines.
