The latest update on the PLI Scheme 2025 shows how quickly India’s manufacturing ecosystem is changing. With investments crossing ₹1.88 lakh crore, the scheme has moved beyond early promises and is now delivering results across major industries. For millions of Indians, this progress strengthens the larger goal of building an Aatmanirbhar Bharat, where more products are made in the country and more jobs are created locally.
Why the PLI Scheme 2025 Is Gaining Momentum
Running large-scale manufacturing operations requires steady investment, modern technology and strong export capability. The PLI Scheme 2025 was designed to support exactly this by rewarding companies that expand production in India. The Commerce Ministry’s year-end numbers reflect how well this approach is working.
Total production under the scheme has now crossed ₹17 lakh crore, while exports have surged past ₹7.5 lakh crore, driven strongly by electronics and smartphone manufacturing. The scheme has also supported 12.3 lakh direct and indirect jobs, which shows its wider impact on the economy.
Sector-Wise Growth Snapshot
Automobile and Auto Components
This sector continues to show steady expansion under the PLI Scheme 2025.
A total of 82 companies have been approved, with ₹1,350.83 crore already disbursed as incentives. Investments in this sector have reached ₹35,657 crore, with Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Haryana emerging as leading hubs. These regions now host major manufacturing units that contribute to faster production and supply chain stability.
Electronics and Mobile Manufacturing
Electronics remains the strongest performer under the PLI Scheme 2025. Mobile production grew by 146 percent, jumping from ₹2.13 lakh crore in FY 2020 to ₹5.25 lakh crore in FY 2024. This rise in output has played a huge role in boosting India’s export numbers and attracting new investments into component manufacturing.
White Goods: ACs and LED Lights
To encourage more companies to join, the government reopened applications for the white goods segment between September 15 and October 14, 2025. The goal is to increase domestic value addition to 75 to 80 percent by 2029, ensuring more parts are made in India instead of being imported.
What Lies Ahead for 2026 and Beyond
There are strong indications that the government may introduce a new ₹25,000 crore PLI specifically for electronic components. This could reduce dependence on imported sub-assemblies and make India a stronger global manufacturing hub.
As the PLI Scheme 2025 continues to expand, the message is clear. India’s industries are not just scaling up production but also becoming more competitive worldwide. With sustained investment and policy support, the coming years may bring even bigger growth across all major sectors.
