India's White Goods PLI Scheme Attracts ₹1,914 Crore in New Investment
The Indian government has a program called the PLI scheme to encourage companies to make products like air conditioners and LED lights in India.
In the latest round, 13 companies have promised to invest about ₹1,914 crore.
Many of these new companies are small or medium-sized businesses.
Most of this money will be used to build parts for air conditioners, like compressors and copper tubes, and some will be for parts of LED lights.
This scheme has already brought in a lot of investment and is expected to create many jobs.
The goal is to make more of these goods in India, which helps the economy and creates jobs.
This is the fourth group of companies to join this special investment plan for white goods.
