The Ministry of Textiles revised the PLI Scheme to strengthen India’s global textile presence and create jobs.
Officials added 8 new HSN codes for MMF Apparel and 9 for MMF Fabrics. Companies can now launch project units within existing setups. They no longer need to form new entities.
The ministry cut the minimum investment. Part-1 now requires ₹150 crore, down from ₹300 crore. Part-2 needs ₹50 crore, reduced from ₹100 crore. These changes take effect from August 1, 2025.
To earn incentives, companies must show only a 10% increase in turnover from the previous year. Earlier, the requirement was 25%. This applies from FY 2025–26.
The ministry extended the application deadline to December 31, 2025. It urged companies to apply and support India’s goal to become a global textile hub.
These changes reduce entry barriers and attract more investors. The government aims to simplify business and promote innovation in MMF and technical textiles.
