Shaleen Toshniwal chairman – Manmade and Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council
The Ministry of Textiles’ decision to reopen the portal for filing of fresh applications under the production linked incentive scheme for textiles, covering manmade fibre, apparels, fabrics and technical textiles will boost exports.
The portal for filing applications will remain open till end of this month.
The PLI scheme is aimed at promoting large-scale investment, fostering innovation and sustainability and enhancing India’s global competitiveness in textiles.
Eligible companies will receive incentives linked to incremental turnover generated through fresh investments and expanded production capacities.
Shaleen Toshniwal, Chairman, MATEXIL (Manmade Fibre & Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council), said reopening of the PLI window will provide an opportunity for those textile companies who could not apply earlier. With incentives designed to reward growth and investment, this scheme offers Indian companies a unique chance to scale up operations and strengthen their global competitiveness, he said.
Exporters and manufacturers should apply before the deadline and make use of the scheme to modernise, expand and diversify their product basket, he added.
MATEXIL has assured all exporters and investors of complete guidance and handholding during the application process and will continue to work closely with the Ministry of Textiles to ensure industry members derive maximum advantage from this initiative.
