Government Extends PLI Scheme Deadline for Textiles
The Indian government has extended the deadline for companies to apply for a special program that helps the textile industry.
This program, called the PLI Scheme, was created to help make more clothes and special fabrics in India, which can create more jobs and make the industry stronger.
The deadline was first extended in October 2025 and has now been extended again to March 31, 2026.
This gives more companies time to apply and shows that many people believe in the potential of India's textile industry.
