- (a) to (c): 'Make in India' is an initiative which 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 tax, interventions to improve ease of  doing  business,  FDI  policy  reforms,  measures  for  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, 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 fasttrack  investments  has  been  put  in  place,  in  the  form  of  Project Development Cells (PDCs) in all concerned Ministries/ Departments of Government of India.

Keeping  in  view  India's  vision  of  becoming  'Atmanirbhar',  Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes for 14 key sectors [with an incentive outlay of Rs. 1.97 lakh crore (over US$26  billion)] are under implementation  to  enhance  India's  Manufacturing  capabilities  and Exports. With the announcement of PLI Schemes, significant creation of production, skills, 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 inflows in India stood at  US  $  45.15  billion  in  2014-2015  and  have  continuously  increased since then, and India registered its highest ever annual FDI inflow of US$ 84.84 billion (provisional figures) in the financial year 2021-22.The FDI Equity inflow is US$ 28.4086 Million for 2022-23 (Till December' 2022) in the state of  Odisha.

As per Economic Survey 2022-23, in spite of covid-related disruptions there is trend of positive overall growth of gross value addition (GVA) in manufacturing sector.

The activities under the 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.
