A recent office memorandum said the second round of PLI scheme is open for accepting applications and the last date of receiving application is March 31.
The tenure of the second round of PLI scheme is for four years and the incentive shall be applicable from April 1, 2021, it said.
As per the supplementary guidelines for the second round of the PLI, a total of 30 eligible applicants having the highest consolidated global manufacturing revenue in the target segment in the base year shall be selected and granted approval under the scheme.

Companies approved under the first round of the scheme will not be allowed to apply under the second round of PLI scheme, said the guidelines.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
