Government on Tuesday said that as on November 28, there are 82 approved applicants under production linked incentive (PLI)-Auto scheme having multiple manufacturing facilities/ engineering research and design units across India.
In a written reply in the Lok Sabha, HD Kumaraswamy, Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel also said that as on November 28, no disbursement has been made to applicants claims received under this scheme.
The PLI-Auto Scheme was launched on September 15, 2021 with a budgetary outlay of ₹25,938 crore for a period of five years (FY2022-23 to FY2026-27), with an aim to boost manufacturing of Advanced Automotive Technology (AAT) Products. The scheme will also help to facilitate and promote deep localisation for AAT products and enable creation of domestic as well as global supply chain.
Kumaraswamy also informed that no disbursement under the Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars in India (SPMEPCI) has also taken as of November 28.
SPMEPCI was notified on March 15 this year to promote the manufacturing of electric passenger cars in India. Under the scheme, approved applicants would be allowed to import completely built units (CBUs) at a reduced customs duty of 15 per cent for five years subject to setting up of electric passenger cars manufacturing facilities in India.
Also, no disbursement under the PLI scheme for manufacturing Advanced Chemistry Cells (ACC) that was approved on May 12, 2021 in order to promote manufacturing of ACC in the country with a budgetary outlay of Rs.18,100 crore. The scheme envisages to establish a cumulative ACC battery manufacturing capacity of 50 GWh.
“SPMEPCI entails no financial outlay for applicants and only envisages benefit of reduced basic customs duty rate on the import of electric passenger cars, subject to compliance with the Scheme guidelines. The PLI-ACC scheme is under gestation period till December, 2024. Therefore, no disbursement has taken place so far,” the Minister informed the Lok Sabha.
He added that government does regular campaigns to incentivise purchase of domestically produced EVs in the country including consultations/ conclaves.

1) What is the primary objective of India’s Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the automotive industry?
## India Approves 82 Applicants for Auto Manufacturing Incentive Program
According to an announcement made by the Indian government, 82 applicants have been approved for the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme dedicated to boosting the nation’s automotive industry. These approvals encompass multiple manufacturing facilities and engineering research and design units strategically located across India. The announcement, made on December 3, 2024, signifies a key step in the government’s ambitious plan to elevate India’s position as a global manufacturing hub for advanced automotive technologies.
The PLI-Auto Scheme, launched in September 2021 with a budget of ₹25,938 crore (approximately US $3.3 billion) spread over five years, aims to incentivize the production of Advanced Automotive Technology (AAT) products within India. The scheme is designed to encourage deep localization of AAT products, fostering the development of both domestic and global supply chains within the Indian automotive sector.
Interestingly, no disbursements have been made as of November 28, 2024, under this scheme. This is also true for two other related initiatives: the Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars in India (SPMEPCI) and the PLI scheme for manufacturing Advanced Chemistry Cells (ACC).
While the SPMEPCI offers a reduced customs duty rate on imported electric passenger cars for approved applicants, it does not entail any direct financial outlay. The PLI-ACC scheme, aimed at establishing a 50 GWh battery manufacturing capacity, remains in its gestation period until December 2024.
The government is actively involved in promoting the adoption of electric vehicles within India, organizing campaigns and consultations to encourage the purchase of domestically produced EVs.
