In numbers: PLI scheme gets rolling; how much is each sector getting?

The Centre’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, launched in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic to encourage manufacturing in key industries, has been set in motion.

Concerned ministries have given approvals to applicant companies over a period of two years since it was first announced.
