₹8,118 Crore Invested Under Textile PLI Scheme; Gujarat Emerges as Top State
The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, launched to strengthen the country's textile sector and enhance its global competitiveness, is now yielding rapid results. According to the Ministry of Textiles, actual investment worth ₹8,117.64 crore has been recorded under the scheme so far. Additionally, the scheme has generated 33,427 new employment opportunities.
The government has approved a total of 170 companies under the textile PLI scheme. These projects are expected to bring in a proposed investment of approximately ₹41,533 crore, generate an estimated turnover of ₹2.75 lakh crore, and create 367,427 jobs. The scheme aims to boost domestic production, attract foreign investment, and establish India as a major hub for textile manufacturing.
The technical textiles segment has witnessed the highest level of interest from companies. Approvals have been granted to 89 companies in this sector, with a projected investment of ₹27,832 crore. These projects are likely to generate a turnover of ₹1.69 lakh crore and create around 120,205 employment opportunities.
In the Man-Made Fiber (MMF) apparel segment, 43 companies have received approval. This sector anticipates a committed investment of ₹7,613 crore and an estimated turnover of ₹64,435 crore. Meanwhile, 38 companies have been approved in the MMF fabric segment, with projected investments of ₹6,087 crore and the creation of 32,557 jobs.
In terms of state-wise performance, Gujarat has taken the lead. The state secured approvals for 46 companies—the highest number in the country—and attracted investments worth ₹1,903.38 crore through various companies. Subsequently, states such as Karnataka, Goa, Tamil Nadu, and Madhya Pradesh have also demonstrated remarkable performance.
However, actual investment has not yet been recorded in Punjab, West Bengal, and Odisha. The pace of investment in Uttar Pradesh has also remained limited. Despite this, the textile PLI scheme is proving to be a significant initiative for boosting manufacturing capacity, creating jobs, and steering the industry in a new direction.
