PLI schemes record ₹2.58 lakh crore investment
As of June 30, 2026, the PLI schemes have resulted in actual investment of ₹2.58 lakh crore. Against this investment, production and sales worth ₹23.79 lakh crore and exports worth ₹15.53 lakh crore have been recorded.
The schemes have also generated more than 14.57 lakh direct and indirect employment opportunities, while cumulative incentives disbursed have reached ₹36,754 crore.
The government launched the PLI schemes to strengthen India's manufacturing capabilities, attract investment, promote exports, generate employment and reduce dependence on imports.
Pharmaceutical sector expands domestic production
The pharmaceuticals sector has recorded cumulative sales of more than ₹3.64 lakh crore under the PLI scheme.
According to the DPIIT, the scheme has enabled domestic manufacturing of 1,931 pharmaceutical products, including 191 bulk drugs manufactured in India for the first time.
The medical devices segment has also recorded domestic manufacturing and investment activity. Major global players including Siemens, Wipro GE and Philips have participated in technology-transfer projects supporting domestic production of CT and MRI systems, cath labs and ultrasonography equipment.
PLI beneficiaries in the sector have generated ₹6,475 crore in domestic sales, along with ₹560 crore in exports and ₹1,400 crore in revenue from implants.
Electronics manufacturing expands
The electronics sector has also attracted global companies into domestic manufacturing. Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, ASUS and HPE have initiated manufacturing in India, either directly or through Indian electronic manufacturing services (EMS) partners.
The DPIIT said PLI beneficiaries are now producing AI servers, SSDs, memory modules, power adapters, battery packs and display panels.
According to the department, the expansion indicates increased localisation and integration with global value chains.
Speciality steel attracts major investments
In the speciality steel sector, companies including JSW, Jindal Odisha, Tata Steel and AMNS have invested more than ₹19,000 crore under the PLI framework.
The investments are supporting domestic production of value-added speciality steel used in automobiles, defence, capital goods and renewable energy, while reducing dependence on imports.
Online module launched for production-related business visas
The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade has also introduced an online module through the National Single Window System (NSWS) for Indian companies to generate sponsorship letters for foreign professionals involved in production-related activities.
The module for the e-Production Investment Business Visa (e-B-4 Visa) was launched in November 2025 as part of government measures aimed at improving ease of doing business under the business visa regime.
“The e-Production Investment Business registration module was launched on the National Single Window System (NSWS), which can be availed by PLI as well as non-PLI businesses,” the DPIIT said.
The online system allows Indian companies to generate digitally signed sponsorship letters for foreign professionals, reducing paperwork and processing delays.
An online process has also been introduced to generate supplementary sponsorship letters for declaring visits to additional sites by foreign professionals who have already been issued a sponsorship letter.
