## 1. Efforts to enable an ecosystem of promotion of investment in the   country, including Assam:

## (i) Startup India:

The Government launched Startup India Initiative on 16 th  January 2016. To meet the initiative's objectives, the Government unveiled an Action Plan for Startup India that laid the foundation of Government support, schemes and incentives envisaged  to create a vibrant startup ecosystem in the country. The Action Plan comprises 19 action items spanning areas such as 'Simplification and handholding', 'Funding support and incentives', and 'Industry-academia partnership and incubation'.

Since  launching  the  Startup  India  initiative  in  2016,  DPIIT  has  recognized 92,683 entities as startups as on 28th February 2023. Further, from the State of Assam, as of 28th February 2023, 826 entities have been recognized as startups by the DPIIT.

Details  of  various  programs  undertaken  by  the  Government to promote investments using the Startup Initiative are in Annexure-I.

Details of the initiative under EoDB are in Annexure II.

## (iii) Foreign Direct Investment (FDI):

The  Government  has  always  intended  to  make  India  an investor-friendly destination for which it has put in place its FDI policy, wherein most sectors, except  certain strategically important sectors, are open for 100% FDI under the automatic route. Almost 98% of FDI equity inflow comes under the automatic route  in  the  financial  year  2022-23  (up  to  September  2022).  FDI  policy  is reviewed  continuously to  ensure  India  remains  an  attractive  and  investorfriendly destination.

## 2.  Efforts made for Infrastructure promotion to support investment are mentioned hereunder :

Infrastructure is the foundation for supporting any investment. Therefore, the government has laid special emphasis on building robust infrastructure such as roads, highways, ports, airports and railway lines . The National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) is a first-of-its-kind, whole-of-government exercise to provide world- class infrastructure to citizens and improve their quality of life.  It  aims  to  improve  project  preparation  and  attract  investments  into infrastructure. To draw up the NIP, a High-Level Task Force was constituted under  the  chairmanship  of  the  Secretary,  Department  of  Economic  Affairs (DEA),  Ministry  of  Finance.  In  the  past  four  years,  the  capital  outlay  has increased almost three times for building infrastructure.

The 'Act East Policy' announced in November 2014, has played an instrumental role in bringing a paradigm shift and making a significant change in the potential role of the Northeast region.   The policy aims to promote economic cooperation and cultural ties and develop strategic relationships with countries in the AsiaPacific  region  through  continuous  engagement  at  bilateral,  regional  and multilateral  levels, thereby providing enhanced connectivity to the States of the North Eastern Region with other countries in our neighborhood.

Some of the initiatives are mentioned below:

## (i)   PM GATI SHAKTI:

Details  are  in Annexure-IV.

## (iv)  Modified Industrial Infrastructure Up-gradation Scheme (MIIUS):

The  MIIUS  scheme  was  launched  in  2003  to  enhance  the industrial competitiveness of domestic industry by providing quality infrastructure in selected functional clusters/locations which have the potential to become globally  competitive.  In  February  2009,  the  scheme  was  recast  as Recast-IIUS(RIIUS)  based  on  an  independent  evaluation  to  strengthen the  implementation  process.

All these schemes  are  in the  grandparenting stage, and subsidies/incentives to  the eligible industrial units are being  provided  against  the  committed liabilities  under  the  schemes.  A cumulative of Rs. 5206.02 crore has been disbursed to the industrial units of Assam under such schemes.

## (ii)  Ministry of Food Processing Industries :

Through component schemes of the Central Sector  umbrella  scheme of Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  SAMPADA  Yojana  (PMKSY),  the  Ministry  of  Food Processing Industries mostly provides credit-linked capital subsidies for the establishment/  upgradation  of  Food  Processing  Industries.  Some  of  the preferential provisions in  component scheme guidelines of PMKSY for NER are as follows-

-  Higher rate of Grants: To attract more promoters, the grant amount is @ 50% of eligible  project  Costs  for  the  NER  region,  while  for  other projects, it is 35% in  most schemes
-  Concession  in  project  completion  time: Keeping  in  view  difficult terrain  and material  supply  constraints  in  the  North  Eastern  region, projects located there  are allowed more time to complete.
-  Lower  requirement  of  promoter's  capital  in  projects: Project promoters in Northeastern Region must contribute only 10% instead of 20% required for other   regions.

The  details  of  Food  Processing  Projects  assisted  in  the  State  of  Assam under   PMKSY are in Annexure-V.

## (iii) North East Desk under Invest India :

The Northeast Desk at Invest India was operationalized in March 2021 to usher in a  transformation in  the  investment  ecosystem  in  the  Northeast, including Assam.

## INITIATIVE UNDER EASE OF DOING BUSINESS (EODB)

## Business Reforms Action Plan (BRAP):

DPIIT, in  consultation with  the  State  Governments,  started a  comprehensive reform exercise in States and Uts in December 2014. Under the Business Reforms Action Plan (BRAP), all States/UTs in the country are assessed based on reforms they undertake on designated parameters. BRAP covers reform areas such as Information Wizard, Single  Window  Systems,  Online  Building  Permission  Systems,  Inspection  Reforms, Labour Reforms, etc. This exercise has helped in improving the business environment across States/UTs.

To  date  five  editions  of  BRAP  (2015,  2016,  2017-18,  2019  and  2020)  have  been completed,  and  States/UTs  have  been  assessed  accordingly.  The  Action  Plan  for BRAP, 2022 (i.e., the sixth edition) was shared with States/UTs or its implementation and is currently underway.

The Action Plan for BRAP 2022 consists of 352 reforms, divided   into two Parts Part A  (Business-centric  reforms)  and  Part  B  (Citizen-centric  reforms).  Citizen-centric reforms (91) have been included for the first time to enable Ease of Living nationwide. Reforms  related  to  the  integration  of  State  Single  Window  with  the  National  Single Window System (NSWS) have also been included in BRAP 2022. This would facilitate the investors to get all the information and obtain the required approvals (Centre and/or State) through NSWS and State Single Window.

## Reducing Compliance Burden (RCB):

DPIIT  also  coordinates  with  Ministries/Departments  and  States/UTs  for  initiatives  to reduce the compliance burden on citizens and business activities. This exercise aims to improve the Ease of Doing Business and Ease of Living by Simplifying, Rationalizing, Digitizing and Decriminalizing Government to Business and Citizen Interfaces across Ministries/States/Uts.

- II. Rationalization  of  legal  provisions  by  repealing,  amending  or  omission  of redundant laws,
- III. Digitization  of  government  processes  by  creating  online  interfaces,  and Decriminalization of minor, technical or procedural defaults

One  of  the  focus  areas  in  reducing  compliance  burden  exercise  is  decriminalizing minor offences. DPIIT regularly coordinates with Ministries/Departments and States/ Uts to reduce the compliance burden on citizens, business activities, and decriminalization.  Industry  stakeholders  and  trade  bodies  such  as  CII,  FICCI  and ASSOCHAM can  submit  compliances  and  propose  recommendations  through  RC Portal. This acts as a bridge between industries and the Government to minimize and decriminalize burdensome  compliances.  To  Decriminalize  Non-  Compliance  for Advancing Ease of Doing Business in India, an Inter-Ministerial Committee has been formed under the Chairmanship of CEO, NITI Aayog to strengthen the Government's ongoing efforts towards decriminalization of non-compliances.

As part of the Decriminalization exercise, the Cabinet Secretariat approved the proposal for the Introduction of the 'Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2022' on 16 th December  2022.  The  Jan  Vishwas  (Amendment  of  Provisions)  Bill,  2022  was introduced in Lok Sabha on 22 nd  December 2022. Subsequently, it was referred to the Joint  Committee  of  the  Parliament.  The  Joint  Committee  on  the  Jan  Vishwas (Amendment  of  Provisions)  Bill,  2022  held  detailed  discussions  with  all  the  19 Ministries/Departments concerned along with Legislative Department. The Committee considered  clause-by-clause  examination  of  the  Bill  through  a  series  of  9  sittings between 09.01.2023 and 17.02.2023. The Committee finally adopted its Report in its sitting held on 13.03.2023.

## National Single Window System (NSWS)

Setting up the National Single Window System (NSWS) was announced in the Budget 2020-21  to  provide  'end-to-end'  facilitation  and  support  to  investors,  including  preinvestment  advisory,  providing  information  related  to  land  banks  and  facilitating clearances at the Centre and State levels. Envisioned as a one-stop shop for investorrelated  approvals  and  services  in  the  country,  the  National  Single  Window  System (NSWS)  was  soft-launched  on  22 nd   September  2021.  KYA  (Know-Your-Approval) module of NSWS is live with 598 approvals across 32 Central Ministries/Departments and 4210 approvals across 32 States/UTs. More than 1.4L investors have used the KYA (Know Your Approvals) module to learn about the approvals they need in starting and running their businesses. The platform is stable and running live with approvals live from  28  Central  Ministries/  Departments.  Currently,  20  States/Uts  integrated  with NSWS, namely Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Goa, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh,  Haryana,  Jammu  &  Kashmir,  Karnataka,  Madhya  Pradesh,  Maharashtra, Nagaland, Odisha, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand  and  Jharkhand.  The  NSWS  Team  is  working  with  the  remaining States/UTs to complete onboarding of all 36 States/Uts.

## One District One Product (ODOP):

The ODOP Initiative aims to manifest the vision of the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India to  foster  balanced  regional  development  across  all  country  districts.  The  idea  is  to select, brand, and promote One Product from each District (One District - One Product) of the country to enable holistic socio-economic growth across all regions.  The product lists  have  been  signed  off  by  each  of  the  States/  UTs  with  Principal  Secretary, Industries/ MSME as the nodal department.
