How the exam will ask it
पूर्व
- A Production Linked Incentive scheme rewards firms with incentives on incremental production or sales, subject to investment thresholds.
- The Textiles PLI scheme is administered by the Ministry of Textiles and covers MMF apparel, MMF fabrics and technical textiles.
- PLI schemes aim to boost domestic manufacturing and exports, not to provide a blanket subsidy on inputs.
मुख्य
GS3 (Industrial policy): India's textile sector is labour-intensive but has been slow to scale in man-made fibres and technical textiles. PLI ties incentives to output and investment, and revised eligibility aims to widen participation beyond large firms, including MSMEs. The way forward is to pair PLI with cheaper raw material, logistics and skilling support, and to assess outcomes on jobs and exports, not just disbursals.
