- (a) to (d):

'Make in India' is an initiative which was launched on 25th September, 2014  to  facilitate  investment,  foster  innovation,  build  best  in  class infrastructure,  and  make  India  a  hub  for  manufacturing,  design,  and innovation.  It  is  one  of  the  unique  'Vocal  for  Local'  initiatives  that promoted India's manufacturing domain to the world. The 'Make in India' initiative is not a State/ district/ city / area specific initiative, rather it is being implemented all over the country.

'Make  in  India'  initiative  has  significant  achievements  and  presently focuses  on  27  sectors  under  Make  in  India  2.0.  Department  for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is coordinating action plans for 15 manufacturing sectors, while Department of Commerce is coordinating 12 service sector plans.

The Government of India is making continuous efforts under Investment Facilitation, including financial assistance to Invest India, for implementation  of  Make  in  India  action  plans  to  identify  potential investors. Support is being provided to Indian Missions abroad and State Governments  for  organizing  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 co-operation for promoting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and to improve Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) in the country. Steps taken  to  improve  Ease  of  Doing  Business  include  simplification  and rationalization of existing processes. As a result of the measures taken to improve the country's investment climate, India jumped to 63rd place in World Bank's Ease of Doing Business ranking as per World Bank's Doing Business Report (DBR) 2020 from a rank of 142 in 2014.

DPIIT, in consultation with the State Governments, has also started a comprehensive reform exercise in States and UTs in December 2014. Under  Business  Reforms  Action  Plan  (BRAP),  all  States/UTs  in  the country are ranked on the basis of reforms implemented by them on designated parameters. This exercise has helped in improving business environment across States.

Measures taken by the Government on FDI Policy reforms have resulted in increased FDI inflows in the country year after year. India registered its  highest  ever  annual  FDI  inflow  of  US$  81.97  billion  (provisional figures)  in  the  financial  year  2020-21  despite  the  COVID  related disruptions. These trends in India's FDI are an endorsement of its status as a preferred investment destination amongst global investors. In the last seven financial years (2014-21), India has received FDI inflow worth US$ 440.27 billion which is nearly 58 percent of the FDI reported in the last 21 years (US$ 763.83 billion).

Government  has  taken  various  other  steps  in  addition  to  ongoing schemes  to  boost  domestic  and  foreign  investments  in  India.  These include improving the Ease of Doing Business, Reduction in Compliance Burden,  the  National  Infrastructure  Pipeline,  Reduction  in  Corporate Tax, Easing liquidity problems of NBFCs and Banks, Policy measures to boost  domestic  manufacturing  through  Public  Procurement  Orders, Phased  Manufacturing  Programme  (PMP),  Schemes  for  Production Linked Incentives  (PLI) of various Ministries, India Industrial Land Bank, Industrial  Park  Rating  System  etc.  With  the  announcement  of  PLI Schemes, significant creation of production, employment, and economic growth is expected over the next 5 years and more.

Besides  the  above,  activities  under  the  initiative  are  also  undertaken through schemes/ programmes, by several Central Government Ministries/  Departments  and  various  State  Governments from  time  to time.  The  details  of  these  measures  are  not  centrally  maintained  by Department  for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).
