Introduction: The Ministry of Commerce & Industry has unveiled noteworthy changes to the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for White Goods, covering air conditioners (ACs) and LED lights. These modifications are driven by inputs from PLI Scheme beneficiaries and industry associations, with the aim of simplifying the scheme’s operation and improving the business environment.
Shift to Cost-Plus Method: One significant alteration is the adoption of the “Cost-Plus” method instead of the “Comparable Uncontrolled Price” (CUP) method for calculating sales prices in cases of captive consumption or supplies to group companies. This shift also necessitates changes to the definition of “Arm’s length.”
Eligible Investments Expanded: The revised guidelines now consider investments in Tool rooms for manufacturing Moulds and Dies as eligible under Capital Investment. This expansion broadens the scope of investment avenues for beneficiaries.
Extension for Reporting New Facilities: Beneficiaries are now granted an additional year over and above the initial two years for reporting the establishment of an additional manufacturing facility.
Revised Claim Submission Date: The last date for submission of claims and refunds of excess incentives due to discrepancies between statutory compliance and records provided at the time of claim filing has been updated.
Administrative Ministry Site Visits: The amendment allows for site visits by the Administrative Ministry to ensure compliance with the scheme.
Roll Over of Bank Guarantee: Bank guarantees can now be rolled over, providing flexibility to beneficiaries.
Updated Scheme Guidelines: The changes encompass appropriate updates to the annexures of the Scheme Guidelines, ensuring clarity and accuracy in scheme execution.
The PLI Scheme for White Goods was initiated as part of the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiative to bolster manufacturing, emphasize its role in India’s growth, and generate employment opportunities. The scheme specifically targets components and sub-assemblies of ACs and LED Lights, with a seven-year implementation period from FY 2021-22 to FY 2028-29 and a total outlay of ₹6,238 crore.
Since its approval in April 2021, the scheme has undergone adjustments through stakeholder consultations to ensure a smooth and effective implementation process. A total of 64 selected beneficiaries are involved in the scheme, with 15 having initiated commercial production during the gestation period up to March 31, 2022. The remaining beneficiaries with a gestation period up to March 31, 2023 are progressing at various stages of implementation.
The PLI Scheme for White Goods aims to create a comprehensive component ecosystem for the ACs and LED Lights industry in India, positioning the country as an integral player in global supply chains. The scheme anticipates a significant boost in domestic value addition from the current 15-20% to an impressive 75-80%.
Conclusion: The changes introduced in the Production Linked Incentive Scheme for White Goods signify the government’s commitment to promoting manufacturing and bolstering India’s presence in global supply chains. These modifications seek to streamline the scheme’s operation, attract investment, and enhance the ease of doing business, thereby contributing to the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” vision of self-reliance. The expanded scope and value addition expectations highlight the strategic significance of the scheme in promoting the domestic manufacturing ecosystem.
