Explanation:
Statement-I: India does not account for 3.2% of global exports of goods. Based on the WTO data released in April 2019, for the year 2018, India's share in global exports for merchandise was 1.7% and in global imports was 2.6%.
Statement-II: It is true that many local companies and some foreign companies operating in India have taken advantage of India's Production-linked Incentive (PLI) scheme. The PLI scheme is a government initiative aimed at promoting domestic manufacturing in various sectors by providing financial incentives and support to eligible companies.
