Government declares ₹6,238 cr production-linked scheme for ACs, LED lights

The government has approved a production linked incentive (PLI) scheme for white goods - Air Conditioners and LED Lights - with a budgetary outlay of ₹6,238 crore. The proposal was approved in a Union Cabinet meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

 

Piyush Goyal, Commerce and Industry Minister said the approval of the scheme for ACs and LEDs will give a boost to domestic manufacturing.

 

The prime objective of the scheme is to make manufacturing in India globally competitive by removing sectoral disabilities, creating economies of scale and ensuring efficiencies.

 

It is designed to create a complete component ecosystem in India and make India an integral part of the global supply chains. The scheme is expected to attract global investments, generate large scale employment opportunities and enhance exports substantially.

 

An official statement said, "The PLI scheme for white goods shall extend an incentive of 4 per cent to 6 per cent on incremental sales of goods manufactured in India for a period of five years to companies engaged in manufacturing of Air Conditioners and LED Lights".

 

Selection of companies for the scheme will be done to incentivise manufacturing of components or sub-assemblies, which are not manufactured in India presently with sufficient capacity. Mere assembly of finished goods will not be incentivised.
