Make in India and PLI Schemes

PLI Across Sectors: Pharma, Autos, Solar and Batteries

Other PLI schemes aim to build domestic capacity in areas India depends on imports for, such as bulk drugs, solar modules and advanced batteries.

PLI is not only about phones.

Pharmaceuticals

Schemes support bulk drug and medical device production to reduce dependence on imports.

Automobiles

Incentives target advanced auto technology and electric vehicles.

Solar and batteries

Support for solar modules and advanced chemistry cell batteries aims to build the clean energy supply chain.

Uneven results

Some schemes attracted large investment, while others saw slow take-up or delays.

A new plant

A solar firm builds a module factory under PLI to supply the domestic market.

Expecting all schemes to work equally well

Outcomes differ by sector.

Key takeaways
  • PLI covers pharma, autos, solar and more.
  • The goal is to reduce imports.
  • Take-up varies.
  • Clean energy supply chains are targeted.
