Scheme and Employment

A meaningful change in India's industrial policy, the ProductionLinked Incentive (PLI) schemes are the latest additions to the game-changing reforms that have been introduced under the aegis of the 'AatmaNirbhar Bharat Abhiyan' (Self-Reliant India movement) launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

 The idea behind the scheme is to offer companies incentives on incremental sales from products manufactured in India, over the base year. The scheme also invites foreign companies to set up units in India alongside encouraging local companies to set up or expand existing manufacturing units, generate more employment and cut down the country's reliance on imports. It will also have beneficial spill-over effects via the creation of a big supplier base for the anchor units established under the scheme.
