The government on Wednesday approved production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes worth over Rs 10,500 crore to boost domestic manufacturing capacity of solar PV modules and white goods such as air conditioners and LED lights.
The PLI scheme for solar PV modules is aimed at adding 10,000 MW manufacturing
capacity of integrated solar PV modules entailing direct investment of Rs 17,200 crore.
The PLI scheme is likely to create direct employment of around 30,000 and indirect employment of 1.2 lakh, according to the government.
An outlay of Rs 4,500 crore has been cleared by the cabinet for this proposal.
