Statutory and effective corporate tax rates, treatment of depreciation, and international competitiveness.
Targeted industrial and sectoral subsidies (renewable energy, chip manufacturing, agriculture, green hydrogen, etc).

Launched in March 2020 and progressively expanded through 2021-22, the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme offers cash incentives — typically 4-6% on incremental sales — to manufacturers in 14 priority sectors (mobiles, semiconductors, pharma, auto, advanced chemistry cells, etc.) for meeting investment, output, and value-add thresholds. Implemented through scheme-specific notifications by line ministries, PLI is the centrepiece of the "Atmanirbhar Bharat" industrial-policy turn.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
