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.
