The fourth round of the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for White Goods, covering air conditioners and LED lights, has attracted 13 applications with a committed investment of Rs 19.14 billion. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) had kept the window open from 15 September to 10 November 2025.

Over half of the new applicants are Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), signalling rising confidence among smaller manufacturers in joining the domestic AC and LED components value chain. Of the 13 applicants, one is an existing beneficiary that has pledged an additional Rs 150 million.

Nine companies, accounting for 75 per cent of the applicants, have proposed investments of Rs 18.16 billion to manufacture AC components such as copper tubes, aluminium stock, compressors, motors, heat exchangers, and control assemblies. The remaining four applicants have proposed Rs 98 crore to produce LED components including chips, drivers and heat sinks.

These proposals span six States, covering 13 districts and 23 locations, thereby contributing to regional industrial growth and job creation.

To date, the PLI Scheme for White Goods has secured Rs 103.35 billion in committed investments from 80 approved beneficiaries. The Scheme is expected to support production worth Rs 1.72 trillion and generate nearly 60,000 direct jobs nationwide.

Approved by the Union Cabinet on 7 April 2021, the Scheme has a total outlay of Rs 62.38 billion and aims to build a complete components ecosystem for air conditioners and LED lights. It seeks to raise domestic value addition from the current 15–20 per cent to 75–80 per cent, strengthening India’s position as a global manufacturing hub for white goods.
