The Operation of Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) for Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing

The scheme "The Operation of Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) for Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing" has been launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. The scheme provides financial incentives to eligible companies based on their incremental sales of goods manufactured in India over a defined base year. It is a performance-linked scheme where incentives are disbursed only after actual production and sales are achieved, rather than as upfront support. The scheme is applicable to identified sectors and products notified by the Government of India and requires companies to meet specified investment, production, and sales thresholds. A Project Management Agency (PMA) is responsible for handling applications, verification of claims, and monitoring implementation. The scheme also includes a structured approval mechanism involving designated authorities to ensure transparency and ensures that incentives are granted strictly based on verified incremental performance in manufacturing output.
