Amount
Not published

Incentive paid as a percentage (typically 4-6%, higher in some sectors) of incremental sales of eligible goods manufactured in India over a base year, for five years. Minimum investment and turnover thresholds are high, so PLI is generally reachable only by scaled manufacturing companies rather than early-stage startups.
