The Employment Linked Incentive (ELI) Scheme is designed to enhance job creation, employability, and social security across sectors, with a significant emphasis on the manufacturing sector. This focus aims to drive large-scale employment generation by incentivizing industries to hire, particularly benefiting first-time employees who will receive a wage benefit of up to Rs 15,000 in two installments. With an ambitious goal of generating over 3.5 crore jobs in just two years, supported by a financial outlay of Rs one lakh crore, the scheme positions the manufacturing sector as a central pillar for economic growth and employment expansion.
