- (a) to (d): No Sir. Make in India initiative was launched on September 25, 2014 with the objective of facilitating investment,  fostering  innovation, building best in class manufacturing infrastructure, making it easy to do business and enhancing skill development.  The initiative is further aimed  at  creating  a  conducive  environment  for  investment,  modern and  efficient infrastructure, opening  up  new  sectors  for foreign investment and  forging  a  partnership  between  government  and industry through positive mindset.

Since its launch, Make  in India initiative has made  significant achievements and presently focuses on 27 sectors under Make in India 2.0.  Department  for  Promotion  of  Industry  and  Internal  Trade  is coordinating action plans for manufacturing sectors, while Department of Commerce is coordinating service sectors. The list of sectors under Make in India 2.0 is placed at Annexure.

The Government of India is making continuous efforts under Investment Facilitation for implementation of Make in India action plans to  identify  potential  investors.  Support  is  being  provided  to  Indian Missions abroad and State Governments  for organising events, summits, road-shows and other promotional activities to attract investment in the country under the Make in India banner. Investment Outreach activities are being carried out for enhancing International cooperation  for  promoting  FDI  and  improve  Ease  of  Doing  Business  in the country.

India  has  registered  its  highest  ever  annual  FDI  Inflow  of  US  $74.39 billion  (provisional  figure)  during  the  last  financial  year  2019-20  as compared to US $ 45.15 billion in 2014-2015. In the last six financial years (2014-20), India has received FDI inflow worth US$ 358.30 billion which  is  53  percent  of  the  FDI  reported  in  the  last  20  years  (US$

681.87 billion). Steps taken to improve Ease of Doing Business include simplification and rationalisation of existing processes. As a result of the measures taken to improve the country's investment climate, India jumped to 63 rd place in World Bank's Ease of Doing Business ranking as per World Bank's Doing Business Report (DBR) 2020. This is driven by reforms in the  areas  of  Starting  a  Business,  Paying  Taxes,  Trading  Across Borders, and Resolving Insolvency. Recently, Government has taken various steps in addition to ongoing schemes to boost domestic and foreign investments in India. These include  the  National  Infrastructure  Pipeline,  Reduction  in  Corporate Tax, easing liquidity problems of NBFCs and Banks, policy measures to  boost  domestic  manufacturing.  Government  of  India  has  also public (PMP), promoted domestic manufacturing of goods through procurement orders, Phased Manufacturing Programme Schemes for Production Linked Incentives of various Ministries.

Further, with a view to support, facilitate and provide investor friendly ecosystem to investors investing in  India,  the  Union  Cabinet  on  03rd June,  2020  has  approved  constitution  of  an  Empowered  Group  of Secretaries (EGoS), and also Project Development Cells (PDCs) in all concerned Ministries/ Departments to fast-track investments in coordination between the Central Government and State Governments, and thereby grow the pipeline of investible projects in India to increase domestic investments and FDI inflow.
