## ANSWER

## 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 25th 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. Presently, Make in India 2.0 focuses on 27 sectors implemented across various Ministries and Departments and state governments.

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,  programs,  schemes  and policies for the sectors being dealt by them, while States also have their own Schemes for attracting investments. As Make in India initiative is implemented across various ministries/departments and state governments, information on number  of  manufacturing  companies  under  this  initiative  is  not  centrally maintained.

In  addition  to  ongoing  schemes  of  various  Departments  and  Ministries, Government has taken various steps to boost domestic and foreign investments in  India  in terms  of  incentives/benefits/subsidies  etc.  These  include  the introduction of 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  Program  (PMP)  and  QCOs (Quality Control Orders), to name a few.

The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes for 14 key sectors (with an incentive outlay of Rs. 1.97 lakh crore) are under implementation across various ministries/departments  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. The beneficiaries under PLI schemes also include foreign companies.

Industry is a State subject. Establishing new manufacturing units depends upon business strategy. Hence, the data on establishing new manufacturing units is not centrally maintained.  However, under PLI Scheme, 746 applications in 14 sectors have been approved across the country including state of Tamil Nadu.
