NITI Aayog has released a report titled Impact Assessment of PLI Schemes.
The Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad worked on it as the knowledge partner.
The study covers all fourteen sectors notified under the Production Linked Incentive route and looks at investment, additional production, exports and jobs.
Firm-level data shared by the implementing ministries forms the base, with industry-level inputs added.
Each sector has been placed in one of four groups: On-Track, Partial Impact, Insignificant Evidence of Impact, and Data unavailable.
Pharmaceuticals, mobile manufacturing under large scale electronics, food processing, telecom, white goods, automobiles and drones are shown as making notable progress, with drones called an early success.
Capacity to make high efficiency solar photovoltaic modules has grown sharply as well, and the report finds nearly 70% of targeted segments on track.
