NEW DELHI (India CSR): The Government of India has approved 96 companies under Round-III of the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Textiles, a move expected to create 36,217 employment opportunities and bring committed investment of Rs. 12,822.67 crore in India’s textile manufacturing sector, including man-made fibre apparel, man-made fibre fabrics and technical textiles.

The announcement was made by PIB Delhi on June 10, 2026. The scheme is aimed at promoting value-added textile manufacturing, improving domestic production capacity and creating employment across the textile value chain.

22 New Applicants Approved

Under the latest approval, 22 new applicants have been selected in Round-III. These companies are expected to bring investment of Rs. 2,339.14 crore.

They are also projected to generate turnover of Rs. 15,561.34 crore in notified products. The approvals are expected to create 36,217 employment opportunities.

Total Scale of Round-III

With the latest additions, the total number of selected companies under Round-III has reached 96.

Together, these companies have committed investment of Rs. 12,822.67 crore. Their projected turnover stands at Rs. 58,294.18 crore.

The figures indicate the scale at which the government expects the scheme to support manufacturing, production capacity and employment generation.

Focus on MMF and Technical Textiles

The approved applicants are from key focus segments of the Textile PLI Scheme. These include Man-Made Fibre (MMF) Apparel, MMF Fabrics and Technical Textiles.

These segments are important for India’s ambition to build competitiveness in value-added textile products. Technical textiles also have applications across sectors such as infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture, automobiles and industry.

Public Interest and CSR Relevance

The scheme has relevance for public policy, employment and sustainable industrial growth. Large-scale textile manufacturing can support livelihoods, skill development and regional industrial ecosystems.

For CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and ESG professionals, the development is important because manufacturing expansion often creates linked opportunities in skilling, worker welfare, women’s employment, community development and supply chain responsibility.

“Continued Industry Response”

The Ministry said the addition of these companies reflects continued industry response to the Government’s efforts to promote investments in sunrise segments of the textile sector.

The proposed investments and production capacities are expected to support the development of a robust and globally competitive textile ecosystem aligned with the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, the Ministry said.

Why It Matters

The Textile PLI Scheme is designed to encourage investment in high-growth textile segments. It seeks to support India’s manufacturing base and improve competitiveness in global textile markets.

The approvals under Round-III may also help in employment generation, especially in labour-intensive segments of the textile value chain.
