Under Part 2 of the PLI Scheme for Textiles, the minimum turnover criterion has been reduced to:
- A.50 crore rupees
- B.100 crore rupees
- C.200 crore rupees
- D.300 crore rupees
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 100 crore rupees. The ministry has halved the entry bar under Part 2 of the scheme so that micro, small and medium enterprises and mid-sized manufacturing units can take part, where earlier the requirement kept them out. Option C names the old figure of 200 crore rupees, which is the level the criterion has been brought down from, and it is the trap in this question, so read whether the examiner asks for the new or the earlier number. Options A and D do not appear in the announcement at all. Two other relaxations came with the same notice and are worth holding alongside it. The scheme tenure now runs up to the financial year 2033-34 for those approved in this round, and companies from the earlier rounds that never claimed an incentive may move across after withdrawing their old applications.
