- (a) : 'Make in India' programme was launched on 25 th  September, 2014 to facilitate investment, foster innovation, build best-in-class infrastructure, and make India a hub of manufacturing, design, and innovation. It is one of the unique 'Vocal for Local' programmes that projects India's manufacturing capabilities to the world.

'Make in India' programme presently focuses on 27 sectors under Make in India. Department  for  Promotion  of  Industry  and  Internal  Trade  (DPIIT)  coordinates action plans for 15 manufacturing sectors, while Department of Commerce (DoC) coordinates  12  service  sector  plans.  Investment  outreach  activities  are  done through Ministries, State Governments and Indian Missions abroad for enhancing international co-operation and promoting both domestic and foreign investment in the country.

The activities under the Make in India programme are also being undertaken by several  other  Central  Government  Ministries/  Departments  and  various  State Governments.  Ministries  formulate  action  plans,  programmes,  schemes  and policies  for  the  sectors  being  dealt  by  them,  while  States  also  have  their  own Schemes for attracting investments.

Government has also taken various steps to boost manufacturing, domestic and foreign  investments  in  India.  These  include  introduction  of  PLI  Schemes  in  14 sectors, Goods and Services Tax, reduction in corporate tax, improving ease of doing business, FDI policy reforms, measures for reduction in compliance burden, measures to boost domestic manufacturing through public procurement orders, Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP) and QCOs (Quality Control Orders), to name a few.

- (b): The total employment in manufacturing sector has increased from 57 million in the year 2017-18 to 62.4 million in the year 2019-20. According to Economic Survey 2022-23 ,  despite  COVID-related  disruptions,  there  is  trend  of  positive  overall growth of gross value addition (GVA) in manufacturing sector.

Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes for 14 key sectors (with an incentive outlay  of  Rs.  1.97  lakh  crore)  are  under  implementation  to  enhance  India's manufacturing  capabilities  and  exports.  With  announcement  of  PLI  Schemes, significant improvement in production, skills, employment, economic growth and exports is expected over the next five years and more. As of now, 717 applications have been approved across the country in 14 sectors.

India has seen a consistent rise in FDI inflow since 2014. It stood at US $ 36.05 billion in 2013-14 and registered its highest ever annual FDI inflow of US$ 84.84 billion (provisional figures) in the financial year 2021-22. The financial year wise details are at Annexure-I . These trends in India's FDI are an endorsement of its status as a preferred investment destination amongst global investors.

The investment reported through FDI equity inflow in  the manufacturing sector during the last eight financial years (2014-22: US$133.86 billion) has increased by 44%  over  the  corresponding  period  of  the  previous  eight  years  (2006-14: US$92.98  billion).   Further,  FDI  equity  inflow  in  manufacturing  sector  has registered 76% growth in FY 2021-22 (USD 21.34 Billion) compared to FY 202021 (USD 12.09 Billion).

- (c): In  West  Bengal,  as  per  information  received  from  implementing  Ministries/ Departments, 8 applications have been selected under PLI scheme across four (4) sectors, viz .  White  Goods,  Food  Processing,  Textiles  and  Specialty  Steel.  The selected companies have proposed to setup their manufacturing units in four (4) districts  of  West  Bengal, viz .  Howrah,  North  24  Parganas,  Medinipur  East  and Paschim Bardhaman with expected investment of over Rs. 1,500 Cr. Among the states,  West  Bengal  is  on  9 th   position  in  FY  2021-22  in  respect  to  investment reported through FDI equity inflow in the country.
- (d): Government has taken a series of policy programmes to improve the economic situation and convert the disruption caused by COVID-19 into an opportunity for growth. These include Atmanirbhar packages, introduction of Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme in fourteen (14) sectors, investment opportunities under National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) and National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP), India Industrial Land Bank (IILB), Industrial Park Rating System (IPRS), soft launch of the National Single Window System (NSWS), etc. An institutional mechanism to fast-track investments has been put in place, in the form of Project Development Cells (PDCs) in all concerned Ministries/ Departments of Government of India.
