## वाणिज्य एवं उद्योग मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री ( श्री सोम प्रकाश ) THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (SHRI SOM PARKASH)

- (a) to (e):

The 'Make in India' initiative was launched on 25 th  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.

'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)  coordinates  action plans  for  15  manufacturing  sectors,  while  Department  of  Commerce 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.

In addition to ongoing schemes of various Departments and Ministries, Government  has  taken  various  steps  to  boost  domestic  and  foreign investments  in  India.  These  include  the  introduction  of  Goods  and Services  Tax,  reduction  in  Corporate  taxes,  financial  market  reforms, consolidation of public sector banks, enactment of four labour codes, improving  ease  of  doing  business,  FDI  policy  reforms,  other  sectoral reforms,  reduction  in  compliance  burden,  policy  measures  to  boost domestic  manufacturing  through  public  procurement  orders,  Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP), to name a few.

The  series  of  measures  taken  by  the  Government  to  improve  the economic situation and convert the disruption caused by COVID 19 into an opportunity for growth includes Atmanirbhar packages, introduction of  Production  Linked  Incentive  (PLI)  Scheme  in  various  Ministries, National  Infrastructure  Pipeline  (NIP),  National  Monetisation  Pipeline (NMP),  Public  Sector  Enterprise  Policy,  India  Industrial  Land  Bank (IILB), Industrial Park Rating System (IPRS), soft launch of the National Single Window System (NSWS), etc. Keeping in view India's vision of becoming 'Atmanirbhar' and to enhance India's  Manufacturing  capabilities  and  Exports,  an  outlay  of  INR  1.97 lakh crore (over US$ 26 billion) has been announced in Union Budget 2021-22 for PLI schemes for 14 key sectors of manufacturing, starting from fiscal year (FY) 2021-22. With the announcement of PLI Schemes, significant  creation  of  production,  employment,  economic  growth  and exports is expected over the next five years and more. The reforms taken by Government have resulted in increased Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in the country. FDI policy provisions have been progressively liberalized and simplified across various sectors in the recent past to make India an attractive investment destination. FDI inflows  in  India  stood  at  US  $  45.15  billion  in  2014-2015  and  have continuously  increased  since  then.  India  registered  its  highest  ever annual FDI inflow of US$ 81.97 billion (provisional figures) in the financial year 2020-21. 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). As per Economic Survey 2021-22, inspite of Covid related disruptions there is trend of positive overall growth of Gross Value Addition (GVA) in  manufacturing  sector.  The  total  employment  in  this  sector  has increased from 57 million in the year 2017-18 to 62.4 million in the year

2019-20.

The activities under Make in India initiative are also being undertaken by several 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.
