The Indian government is preparing to launch a fresh round of the production-linked incentive scheme for food processing industry (PLISFPI), signalling renewed support for growth and value-addition in the food processing sector.
The announcement came on the sidelines of the 98th annual general meeting of federation of Indian chambers of commerce & industry (FICCI), where A. P. Das Joshi, Secretary, Food Processing, confirmed that the government is mobilising to kick off the next tranche of the scheme.
Since its inception in 2021, the PLISFPI has driven significant investment and job creation across the country. As of late 2024, the scheme had already attracted over Rs 8,910 crore of investment across 213 locations, generating more than 2.89 lakh jobs. By encouraging domestic processing, the initiative has helped boost value-addition in agriculture, increased demand for local raw materials, and supported rural livelihoods.
The upcoming round of PLISFPI aims to accelerate this momentum reinforcing policy backing for food-processing manufacturing, promoting innovation, and expanding the scale of operations. The fresh push could further strengthen India’s ambition to establish globally competitive food brands while enhancing overall production capacity and export potential.
For businesses in the food and nutraceutical sectors a domain you have considerable familiarity with this renewed support could offer fresh opportunities for investment, expansion, and scaling up manufacturing operations.
