## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR TRIBAL AFFAIRS (SMT RENUKA SINGH SARUTA)

(a): Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DPIIT) has informed that the Government of India launched 'Make in India' on September 25, 2014 to facilitate investment, foster innovation, building best in class infrastructure, and making India a hub for manufacturing, design, and innovation in order to increase the manufacturing capacity in the country. Since its launch, Make in India has made significant achievements and is now focusing on 27 sectors under Make in India 2.0. DPIIT is coordinating Action Plans for 15 manufacturing sectors and is working closely with 24 sub-sectors which have been chosen keeping  in  mind  the  Indian  industries  strengths  and  competitive  edge,  need  for  import  substitution, potential for export and increased employability. These 24 sub-sectors are - furniture air-conditioners, leather  and  footwear,  ready  to  eat,  fisheries,  agri-produce,  auto  components,  aluminum,  electronics, agrochemicals, steel, textiles, EV components and integrated circuits, ethanol, ceramics, set top boxes, robotics,  televisions,  close  circuit  cameras,  toys,  drones,  medical  devices,  sporting  goods,  gym equipment. Efforts are on to boost the growth of the sub-sectors in a holistic and coordinated manner.

(b): DPIIT has further informed that 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. The 14 key sectors are: (1) Mobile Manufacturing and Specified Electronic. Components. (1) Critical Key Starting  Materials/Drug  Intermediaries  &  Active  Pharmaceutical  Ingredients,  (1)  Manufacturing  of Medical  Devices  (iv)  Automobiles  and  Auto  Components,  (v)  Pharmaceuticals  Drugs,  (vi)  Specialty Steel,  (vii)  Telecom & Networking Products, (vi) Electronic/Technology  Products,  (ix) White Goods (ACS and LEDs). (Food Products (xi) Textile Products: MMF segment and technical textiles. (xi) High efficiency solar PV modules, (xi) Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery and (xiv) Drones and Drone Components. The 14 key strategic sectors were carefully chosen keeping in view following objectives:

- i. Attract investments in sectors of core competency and cutting-edge technology;
- ii. Ensure efficiency and economies of scale in the manufacturing sector
- iii. Make Indian companies and manufacturers globally competitive so that they can penetrate global markets.

These schemes have potential of significant creation of production, employment, economic growth and exports over the next five years and more. The sectors identified under PLI Schemes follow the broad framework of new and emerging technologies where India can leapfrog, overall economic gain accruing to the economy and export potential of the sectors. The PLI scheme is going to have a cascading effect on the country's MSME ecosystem. The anchor units that will be built in every sector will require a new supplier base in the entire value chain. Most of these ancillary units will be built in the MSME sector. As on date, 717 applications have been approved under PLI Schemes for 14 key sectors.

(c): To  promote  the local  products  made by  tribals, the  Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs  provides  financial assistance to Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation of India Limited (TRIFED) under the scheme of Pradhan Mantri Janjatiya Vikas Mission (PMJVM) for their procurement and sale through TRIFED's retail outlets, e-Commerce portal and also through exhibitions organized in various parts of the country.

- (d) & (e): In  order to provide support and facilitation to investors for investing in India and to boost growth in key sectors of the economy, DPIIT has stated that an Empowered Group of Secretaries (EGOS) has been created, which will look into hindrances being faced by investors, and also take up cross cutting policy issues with the following objectives:

To bring synergies and ensure timely clearances from different Departments and Ministries.

To attract  increased  investments  into  India  and  provide  investment  support  and  facilitation  to  global investors.

To facilitate investments of top investors in a targeted manner and to usher policy stability & consistency in the overall investment environment.

Additionally, Project Development Cells (PDCs) have been set up in 29 Ministries/Departments to fasttrack investment in coordination between the Central Government and State Governments and thereby enhance the pipeline of investible projects in India and in turn increase domestic investment and FDI inflows. PDCs have the following main objectives:

- i. To create projects with all approvals, land available for allocation and with the complete detailed project reports for adoption/investments by investors.
- ii. To identify issues that need to be resolved in order to attract and finalize the investments and put forth these before the Empowered Group.
