Is PLI 2.0 already coming, or is New Delhi still testing what worked in phase one? Right now, the government line is cautious: review first, redesign next. The Economic Survey update released via PIB says the current PLI framework has already drawn over ₹2 lakh crore in actual investment, delivered over ₹18.7 lakh crore in incremental production and sales, and supported more than 12.6 lakh jobs by September 2025 — a development closely tracked under Latest News in India.
Those same highlights were amplified by PIB India on X. That is a serious scale for any industrial policy.
Government Review And Policy Direction
At the June 2025 ministerial review, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal asked ministries to prepare a five-year roadmap focused on implementation quality, skilling, and disbursal discipline, not just headline approvals, as per PIB’s meeting note.
Since then, policy discussion around a “next phase” has centered on stronger metrics beyond incremental sales, including value addition and export depth. That is why PLI 2.0 is being read as a calibrated redesign, not one giant relaunch. Independent reports from The Indian Express and Reuters also indicate the Centre has weighed multiple design options.
