The scheme for these sectors will be in addition to the PLI schemes for mobile phones and allied equipment manufacturing, pharmaceutical ingredients and medical devices.
The PLI scheme aims to boost domestic manufacturing and cut down on imports by providing cash incentives on incremental sales from products manufactured in the country. Besides inviting foreign companies to set shop in India, the scheme aims to encourage local companies to set up, or expand, existing manufacturing units.
The new sectors included under the PLI scheme are mostly labour-intensive and will be implemented by the respective ministries. For instance, the Niti Aayog will implement the PLI scheme for the manufacture of advanced chemistry cell batteries. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology is the nodal ministry for the implementation of the PLI scheme for mobile phone manufacturing.
Any new sector for PLI will require fresh approval of the Union Cabinet.
