New Delhi: The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) on Thursday announced that it has received 13 new applications, with a combined investment commitment of ₹1,914 crore, in the fourth round of the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for white goods.
The application window for this round was open from September 15 to November 10, 2025.
White goods include air conditioners and LED lights.
Of the 13 applicants, one is an existing PLI beneficiary proposing an additional ₹15 crore investment. Nine applicants have applied to manufacture air-conditioner components, with a total proposed investment of ₹1,816 crore. These components include copper tubes, aluminium stock, compressors, motors, heat exchangers, control assemblies, and other high-value parts.
The remaining four applicants plan to invest ₹98 crore in manufacturing LED components such as LED chips, drivers, and heat sinks.
The proposed investments span six states, covering 13 districts and 23 locations.
So far, the PLI scheme for white goods has attracted committed investments of ₹10,335 crore from 80 approved beneficiaries. This is expected to generate production worth ₹1.72 lakh crore and create around 60,000 direct jobs, the department said.
Approved on April 7, 2021, the ₹6,238 crore PLI scheme aims to build a complete component ecosystem for air conditioners and LED lights in India. The initiative is expected to raise domestic value addition from the current 15–20% to 75–80%, positioning India as a major global manufacturing hub.
