The government is mulling to bring a second edition of a PLI (Production Incentives Linked) scheme for the textile industry, mainly in the garment and apparel segment, sources told Zee Business.  

Along with man-made fibers and technical textiles, the government also wants to promote khadi through this scheme, where the budget provision of Rs 4000 crore is likely to be allocated, said the sources.  

The Ministry of Textiles held a meeting with the industry stakeholders on May 17, 2022 and aims to complete the approval and cabinet process soon by August-September and mostly by October the scheme will be implemented.  

The new PLI scheme aims to make India a garment hub. In this regard, a LoA (Letter of Authorisation) has been sent to 64 companies under the previous PLI scheme and industry to complete investment process in next 2 years.
