PLI and other Schemes in the Textile Sector
Key Details
Expected Impact
● Investment: An estimated investment of Rs. 19,000 crore (US$ 2.58 billion) over five
years.
● Turnover: Expected to facilitate a cumulative turnover of over Rs. 3 lakh crore (US$
40.66 billion).
● Employment: Creation of over 7.5 lakh additional employment opportunities.
● Pre-PLI Baseline: In FY20, India was the fifth-largest exporter of textiles and apparel,
with exports worth US$ 28.4 billion in 2020-21.
● Projected Growth: Exports are expected to reach US$ 65 billion by 2025-26, growing at
a CAGR of 11%.
● Recent Trends: From April to May 2021, exports of textiles increased by 271% YoY to
approximately US$ 6.1 billion.
Imports
● Trends: The specifics of import trends are not detailed in the available excerpts.
However, the increase in domestic production due to the PLI scheme is likely to reduce
dependence on imports over time.
Economic Impact
● GDP Contribution: The PLI scheme is expected to add approximately 1.7% to India's
GDP by FY27.
● Industrial Production: The textiles and apparel sectors have shown significant recovery
post-pandemic, with the index of industrial production for textiles standing at 112.3 in
FY22 up to July 2021.
The PLI scheme for textiles is likely to shi the gear from cotton to MMF and technical textiles.
This initiative is expected to help push the Atma Nirbhar Bharat Mission and promote exports
of more MMF-based textiles, since India's MMF garment industry is poised for rapid expansion
in the coming years owing to the ease of doing business reforms and increased investor
confidence. The PLI scheme is expected to primarily benefit Indian states such as Tamil Nadu
that are already leading markets for textiles.
As per the industry experts, an estimated investment of Rs. 1 crore (US$ 136.10 thousand) in
the textiles sector has the potential to generate an estimated ~70 jobs. More production is also
expected to generate more GST revenue, contributing to the overall development of states and
the country.

Where:
1. ΔE - Change in Exports: This represents the net change in the value of exports due to
the implementation of the PLI scheme.
2. P - Production Increase Due to PLI: The increase in production capacity as a direct
result of the PLI scheme. For FY 2024-25, this is projected to be INR 19,000 crore.
3. I - Percentage of Production Dedicated to Exports: The fraction of the increased
production that is expected to be exported. Based on historical data and market
analysis, this is assumed to be 60%.
4. C - Cost Competitiveness Factor: The reduction in production costs due to efficiencies
gained through domestic production. This is estimated to be a 10% cost reduction.
5. M - Reduction in Imports Due to Domestic Production: The decrease in imports as
domestic production meets local demand. This is proportional to the increased
production.
● Projected increase in production (P) due to PLI is over INR 19,000 crore.
● Assume 60% of this production is for exports (I).
● Cost competitiveness factor (C) is estimated to be a reduction in costs by 10% due to
domestic production.
● Reduction in imports (M) is directly proportional to the increased domestic production.
Example Calculation
ΔE=(19,000×0.60)−(0.10×19,000)
ΔE=(19,000×0.60)−(0.10×19,000)
ΔE=11,400−1,900
Rationale: Continued and increased financial support is crucial for maintaining momentum in
investment, production, and exports.
● FY 2024-25: Allocate an additional INR 5,000 crore to the PLI scheme to expand its
coverage and include more companies, especially MSMEs.
● FY 2025-26: Increase the budget for SITP by INR 1,500 crore to accelerate the
completion of pending textile parks.
● FY 2026-27: Allocate INR 2,000 crore to incentivize innovations in sustainable textile
practices.
● FY 2024-25: Allocate INR 1,000 crore for establishing textile research centers focused
on MMF and technical textiles.
● FY 2025-26: Provide an additional INR 800 crore for collaborative projects between
industry and academia to drive innovation.
● FY 2026-27: Allocate INR 700 crore for sustainability research, focusing on eco-friendly
materials and processes.
● FY 2024-25: Increase funding for the Samarth scheme by INR 1,200 crore to expand its
reach to more regions and sectors.
● FY 2025-26: Allocate INR 500 crore for specialized training programs in technical textiles
and MMF.
● FY 2026-27: Invest INR 400 crore in digital training platforms to provide remote and
flexible learning options.
4. Infrastructure Development
● FY 2024-25: Allocate INR 3,000 crore for developing common infrastructure in textile
parks, including power, water, and waste management systems.
● FY 2025-26: Invest INR 2,000 crore in enhancing connectivity (road, rail, and ports) to
key textile manufacturing hubs.
● FY 2026-27: Provide INR 1,500 crore for setting up logistics hubs within textile parks to
streamline supply chains.
5. Promotion of Exports
Rationale: Increasing exports is crucial for improving trade balance and achieving global market
