PLI scheme for textiles: India extends application deadline to December 31

The Ministry of Textiles has extended the deadline for submitting applications under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for textiles. The application window, which was originally set to close earlier, will now remain open until December 31.

According to the ministry, the decision comes in response to strong interest from industry participants. The latest round of applications, which began in August 2025, saw a high number of submissions from sectors such as man-made fibre (MMF) apparel, MMF fabrics, and technical textiles.

Officials said the extension provides additional time for new and prospective investors to apply and take advantage of the scheme. Applications can be submitted through the official portal at https://pli.texmin.gov.in/.
The government stated that the move reflects the continued interest and confidence of the textile industry in domestic manufacturing and investment opportunities under the PLI framework.
