The scheme encourages manufacturing of AC components such as compressors, copper tubes, control assemblies, heat exchangers, BLDC motors, and sheet metal components. For LED Lights, components include LED chips, drivers, engines, light management systems, and metallized films for capacitors, ensuring a robust domestic supply chain.

Future Outlook

Eight additional applicants have been referred to the Committee of Experts (CoE) for detailed examination. The PLI White Goods Scheme is expected to position India as a critical hub in global supply chains, enhance domestic capabilities, and stimulate economic growth through technology-driven manufacturing and job creation.
