The Union Textile Ministry on Friday said it has decided to invite fresh applications under the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for the textiles sector, amid requests from the industry and against the backdrop of 50 per cent import tariff announced by the US.
“In view of the requests from the industry stakeholders, 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 August 31.
The announcement came at a time when the United States (US) has announced imposition of 50 per cent tariffs on India imports. While the 25 per cent tariff kicked in from August 7, the additional 25 per cent tariff will come in force from August 28.
Labour-intensive sectors such as textiles will be one of the worst hit sectors.
