Textile ministry opens portal for PLI scheme till August 31

India’s man-made fibre and technical textiles industry is chasing global competitiveness, with incentives now tied to fresh investments and incremental turnover.

Bengaluru: The Ministry of Textiles has reopened the portal for filing of fresh applications under the the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for textiles, covering man-made fibre (MMF) apparels, fabrics and technical textiles. The Portal will remain open till August 31, 2025, Manmade Fibre & Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council (MATEXIL) said in a statement.

The PLI Scheme is aimed at promoting large-scale investment, fostering innovation and sustainability, and enhancing India’s global competitiveness in textiles. Eligible companies will receive incentives linked to incremental turnover generated through fresh investments and expanded production capacities.

Welcoming the announcement, Shaleen Toshniwal, Chairman, MATEXIL, said: “The reopening of the PLI application window is a very positive step, as it provides an opportunity for those textile companies who could not apply earlier. With incentives designed to reward growth and investment, this scheme offers Indian companies a unique chance to scale up operations and strengthen their global competitiveness.”
