Centre reopens application window for PLI scheme for white goods

New Delhi, Sep 14: The central government on Sunday said it has reopened the application window for the production-linked incentive (PLI) Scheme for White Goods (ACs and LED lights) based on the appetite of the industry to invest more under the scheme.

The application window for the PLI Scheme for White Goods (ACs and LED Lights) is being reopened based on the appetite of the industry to invest more under the Scheme, which is an outcome of the growing market and confidence generated due to manufacturing of key components of ACs and LED Lights in India under the PLIWG Scheme.

The application window is being opened on the same terms & conditions stipulated in PLIWG Scheme notified on 16.04.2021 and PLIWG Scheme Guidelines issued on 04.06.2021, as amended from time to time.

The application window for the Scheme shall remain open for the period from 15th September, 2025 to 14th October, 2025 (both dates inclusive) on the same on-line portal having URL as https://pliwg.dpiit.gov.in/. No application shall be accepted after the closure of the application window.

So far, 83 applicants with committed investment of Rs 10,406 crore have been selected as beneficiaries under the PLI scheme. The scheme is to be implemented over a seven-year period — from FY 2021-22 to FY 2028-29 — and has an outlay of Rs 6,238 crore.

“In order to avoid any discrimination, both new applicants as well as existing beneficiaries of PLIWG who propose to invest more by way of switching over to higher target segment or their group companies applying under different target segment would be eligible to apply subject to fulfilling the eligibility conditions as mentioned in the Para 5.6 of the Scheme Guidelines and adhering to investment schedule as mentioned in Appendix-1 or Appendix-1A of the Scheme Guidelines, as applicable,” the ministry statement read.

Applicants will only be eligible for incentives for the remainder of the Scheme’s tenure. The applicant approved in the proposed fourth round would be eligible for PLI for maximum two years only in the case of new applicants and beneficiaries opting for GP-2 (upto March 2023) seeking to move to higher investment category.
