## 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 (d):

'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 cooperation  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) etc.

The series of measures and steps 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 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.

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, 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.

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 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.
