In a move to encourage further investment in India’s textile sector, the Government of India has extended the deadline for submitting applications under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Textiles to 31st December 2025. The extension comes in view of the overwhelming and enthusiastic response from industry stakeholders.
The decision provides another opportunity for prospective investors to participate and benefit from the scheme, which aims to boost domestic textile manufacturing, enhance exports, and strengthen the global competitiveness of the Indian textile industry. The latest invitation round, started in August 2025, received substantial interest from sectors including Man-Made Fibre (MMF) Apparel, MMF Fabrics, and Technical Textiles.
Interested applicants can submit their proposals through the official online portal at https://pli.texmin.gov.in.
Officials noted that the reopening of the application window reflects the industry’s growing appetite for investment, increased market demand, and confidence in domestic textile manufacturing. Analysts say this extension will further encourage large-scale investments, expand production capacity, and create new employment opportunities across the sector.
With this move, the Government reinforces its commitment to promoting high-value manufacturing, supporting strategic sectors, and positioning India as a global textile manufacturing hub.
