PLI Scheme Investment Verification
By Harihar S, Chartered Engineer & IBBI Registered Valuer
Why PLI Investment Verification Matters
India's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes have committed over ₹1.97 lakh crore in incentives across 14 sectors, from mobile phones to pharmaceuticals, food processing, textiles and white goods. For companies receiving PLI benefits, independent verification of actual investment made is a mandatory requirement under most PLI scheme guidelines. Getting this verification right is critical.
What PLI Verification Covers
Verification typically covers the land, building, plant and machinery investment claimed under the scheme, usually through a combination of Chartered Engineer certification and plant and machinery valuation by an IBBI Registered Valuer.
