## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SHRI ARJUN RAM MEGHWAL):

(a) and ( b) : As per the World Bank Group's  Report titled 'South Asia Economic Focus Fall  2016  -  Investment  Reality  Check',    in  terms  of  annual  growth  rates, Gross Capital Formation in China has been declining steadily since the post-crisis recovery of 2009, and had reached almost zero in 2015. However, in India, while the growth rate of Gross Capital Formation has declined through 2013-14, it has picked up since.

(c):  The  Government  has  taken  various  initiatives  to  strengthen  investment  and economic growth which, inter alia, include; fillip to manufacturing and infrastructure through fiscal incentives and concrete measures for transport, power, and other urban and rural infrastructure; reforms and liberalization of foreign direct investment    in    major    sectors;  measures  to  debottleneck  the  supply  of  key  raw materials etc. Initiatives like Digital India, Make in India and Start-up India have been  launched  to  boost  entrepreneurship.  The  efforts  to  simplify  business  and investment-related clearances and fast-track governance reforms have helped India to  improve  its  status  as  an  investment  destination.  In  addition,  many  other initiatives like launching of Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency Ltd. and  Stand  Up  India  Scheme'  to  promote  entrepreneurship  among  SC/ST  and women entrepreneurs have been also launched. The implementation of scheme for Enhancement of Competitiveness in the Indian Capital Goods Sector that aims to make  Indian  capital  goods  industry  globally  competitive  will  help  reviving  the capital  goods  sector,  and  thereby  investment.  The  National  Policy  on  Capital Goods Sector, approved by the Cabinet in May 2016, that envisages making India one  of  the  top  capital  goods  producing  nations  of  the  world  by  increasing production,  raising  exports  and  improving  technology  to  advanced  levels  is  also likely to strengthen domestic investment.
