The Cabinet "has approved the PLI scheme for textiles for MMF (man-made fibre) apparel, MMF fabrics and 10 segments/ products of technical textiles with a budgetary outlay of Rs 10,683 crore," Textiles Minister Piyush Goyal told reporters here.
The PLI scheme for textiles is part of the overall announcement of the scheme for 13 sectors made earlier during the Union Budget 2021-22, with an outlay of Rs. 1.97 lakh crore.
The scheme for textiles will help promote production of high-value MMF fabric, garments and technical textiles in the country.
The incentive structure has been so formulated that the industry will be encouraged to invest in fresh capacities in these segments, he said.
This will give a major push to growing high-value MMF segment, which will complement the efforts of cotton and other natural fibre-based textile industries in generating new opportunities for employment and trade, he added.
"The broader markets witnessed interest in textile stocks on the back of the PLI scheme announced today," S Ranganathan, head (research) at LKP Securities, said. HRS hrs
