The Indian government extended the deadline for applications under the Production Linked Incentive scheme for textiles until Dec. 31 after receiving significant interest from industry participants. The Ministry of Textiles announced on Friday that the portal will remain open to allow additional investors to join the program.
Applications have surged since August 2025 from sectors such as Man-Made Fibre apparel, MMF fabrics, and technical textiles. The extension reflects strong demand and confidence in domestic textile manufacturing capabilities.
