Maharashtra Attracts ₹167.51 Crore Investment Under Textile PLI Scheme
Maharashtra has attracted ₹167.51 crore (approximately US$17.5 million) in investments from 24 approved companies under the Government of India’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Textiles, according to the Ministry of Textiles. The figures reflect investments made up to March 31 as part of the scheme aimed at expanding domestic manufacturing of man-made fibre (MMF) apparel, MMF fabrics and technical textiles.
Across India, the Textile PLI Scheme has approved 170 companies, with Maharashtra accounting for 24 beneficiaries, highlighting the state’s growing role in the country’s textile manufacturing ecosystem.
The Ministry of Textiles stated that implementation of the scheme is being closely monitored through regular review meetings, weekly open-house sessions, monthly workshops and stakeholder outreach programmes. These initiatives are designed to resolve implementation challenges, improve industry engagement and ensure smooth execution of the scheme.
To further encourage investments, the government introduced significant amendments to the Textile PLI Scheme in October 2025. The revisions included the addition of 17 new HSN codes covering MMF apparel and fabrics, a 50% reduction in the minimum investment requirement, removal of the mandatory requirement to establish a new company for claiming benefits, and a reduction in the incremental turnover threshold for incentives from 25% to 10%.
The policy changes have helped strengthen investor confidence and are expected to accelerate investments in India’s MMF and technical textile sectors while supporting the country’s broader manufacturing and export growth objectives.
