More than two years after its launch, only 16 of the 84 firms eligible under the ₹25,938 crore production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for automobiles and auto components have products that have met the required domestic value addition (DVA) criteria to qualify for incentives.
These companies have received clearance for 107 model and component variants, having met the DVA threshold, based on data available till July 31. However, with China tightening restrictions on exports of critical rare earth materials, which is crucial for manufacturing electric motors in India, achieving the 50 per cent localisation target is likely to become even more

India becoming key pillar to the China+1 strategy for global auto OEMs: EY-Parthenon
Synopsis A joint report by EY and Parthenon indicates India is emerging as a key hub in the China+1 strategy for global auto OEMs, driven by low manufacturing costs and government incentives like the PLI scheme. This shift is boosting exports and positioning India as a preferred sourcing destination for auto components. ANI Representative image. India is rapidly becoming a central pillar of the China+1 strategy adopted by global auto OEMs, as companies look to diversify their supply chains and reduce dependency on China, according to a joint report by EY and Parthenon."India is becoming a key pillar to the China+1 strategy being adopted by global auto OEMs for components. Additionally, low mfg. costs + GoI induced incentives are further boosting exports," the report report highlights that this shift is driving increased business with Indian original equipment manufacturers (OEs), positioning the country as a preferred sourcing hub. Boosting this momentum are low manufacturing costs and government-backed incentives, notably the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for the auto sector. With a financial outlay of USD 3 billion, the scheme offers 8-18 per cent sales-linked incentives for advanced and electric vehicle components. It has already catalysed auto component exports worth USD 61.8 billion. Together, the China+1 strategy and strong policy support are propelling India's rise as a global auto component export hub, the report pointed out. The China+1 strategy is a business strategy where companies diversify their manufacturing and supply chains by choosing another location besides China, reducing reliance on a single strategy shows the desire of companies to mitigate risks associated with over-dependence on China, such as geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and rising experts say that companies have to invest in research and development (R&D) to take advantage of Kant, Former CEO of the NITI Aayog, during an industry gathering in May, said, "You'll have to do the technology leapfrogging. You can't copy the Chinese. You have to beat the Chinese with one up. This game of China plus one by importing from China all the time will never work."Meanwhile, Chief Economic Adviser Anantha Nageswaran said that India, given its political stability, huge market opportunity, dynamic workforce, and steady rise in income levels, is eyed as one of the best places to set up manufacturing remains the fastest-growing major economy and is poised to maintain its growth trajectory.

Textile ministry reopens PLI scheme for MMF, tech textiles till Aug 31
The Ministry of Textiles on Friday announced that it will invite fresh applications under the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the textiles sector, following requests from industry stakeholders. 'In view of the requests from the industry stakeholders, the Ministry of Textiles has decided to reopen the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme portal for inviting fresh applications from interested companies under the PLI Scheme for Textiles for MMF apparel, MMF fabrics and products of technical textiles,' the ministry said in a statement. The application portal will remain open till 31 August. The announcement comes at a time when the United States (US) has imposed a 50 per cent tariff on Indian imports. A 25 per cent tariff took effect on 7 August, with an additional 25 per cent set to kick in from 28 August. Labour-intensive sectors such as textiles are expected to be among the worst hit. All terms and conditions, as notified earlier through the respective scheme guidelines, will continue to apply for the fresh round of applications. 'The Ministry urges all interested companies to take advantage of this opportunity and submit their applications within the specified period,' the statement added. The Centre had approved the PLI scheme for textiles in September 2021, with a budgetary outlay of ₹10,683 crore over five years, aimed at boosting the production of man-made fibre (MMF) apparel and fabrics, among other categories. So far, the Centre has approved 80 applicants under the scheme. During the current financial year, the government aims to disburse ₹500 crore as incentive under the PLI scheme. Over five years, the scheme is expected to attract fresh investments of more than ₹19,000 crore and create over 750,000 jobs. MMFs include viscose, polyester and acrylic, which are made from chemicals. Technical textiles, on the other hand, are new-age materials used in the production of personal protective equipment (PPE) kits, airbags and bulletproof vests, and also find applications in sectors such as aviation, defence and infrastructure. The textiles ministry had first released the scheme guidelines in December 2021. However, the government initially received only 64 applications, with total investment commitments of around ₹6,000 crore. Some industry players informed the government that they were hesitant to invest in the proposed textile categories due to lack of expertise. Since its launch, progress under the PLI scheme for textiles has been tepid. Last year, a Cabinet Secretary-led committee flagged the shortfall in investment progress during FY24 in three of the 14 PLI sectors, including textiles.
