170 applications have been approved under various categories of the Production Linked Incentive scheme for Food Processing Industries (PLISFPI) till Sept. 2025.

About 3.39 Lakhs, both Direct and Indirect employment, have been generated so far under the PLISFPI. The data on farmers benefited under the scheme is not maintained.

The incentives under the PLISFPI are admissible where the entire chain of manufacturing processes, including primary processing, of the food products applied for coverage under the scheme takes place in India. Total export of agricultural processed food products approved under PLISFPI has increased with a CAGR of 13.23% as on 2024-25 with reference to 2019-20.
