## ANSWER

## वाणिज्य एवं उद्योग मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री ( श्री णिणिन प्रसाद ) THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

- (a) to (f): '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. Presently, Make in India  2.0  focuses  on  27  sectors  including  15  manufacturing  sectors, implemented across various Ministries and Departments and State Governments.  The  list  of  sectors  under  Make  in  India  2.0  is  placed  at Annexure I .

Government  has  taken  a  series  of  policy  initiatives  that  include  the Atmanirbhar  Bharat  packages,  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.  to  promote manufacturing. 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. All the above initiatives/schemes are implemented across various Ministries/Departments, Central Government, State Governments, including Tamil Nadu.

To further the Make in India initiative, Government of India has announced the National Manufacturing Mission (NMM) in the Union Budget 2025-26 with an outlay of ₹ 100 crore. The Mission will lay emphasis on five focal areas i.e. ease and cost of doing business; future ready workforce for indemand  jobs; a vibrant and dynamic  MSME  sector;  availability of technology; and quality products.

Further, keeping in view India's vision of becoming 'Aatmanirbhar' and to enhance India's manufacturing capabilities and exports, Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes have been launched for 14 key sectors with an outlay  of  Rs.  1.97  lakh  crore.  These  schemes  have  the  potential  of significantly  boosting  production,  increasing  manufacturing  output  and contributing  to  faster  economic  growth  in  future.  The  purpose  of  PLI Schemes  is  to  attract investments  in key  sectors  and  cutting-edge technology; ensure efficiency and bring economies of size and scale in the manufacturing  sector  and  make  Indian  companies  and  manufacturers globally  competitive.  These  schemes  have  the  potential  of  significantly boosting production, employment and economic growth over the next five years or so. PLI Schemes have resulted in an employment generation of over 12 lakhs (direct and indirect) nationally including Tamil Nadu.

As of now 806 applications have been approved across the country in 14 sectors  including  Tamil  Nadu.  The  details  of  the  sector-wise  number  of manufacturing  units  established  and  employment  generated  under  the scheme in Tamil Nadu is placed at Annexure II .  The State ranks fifth in terms of  Investment  through  cumulative  FDI  equity  inflow  of  USD  14.61 billion reported in the country during October 2019 - March 2025. (Source:

## DPIIT FDI factsheet)

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,  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 Programme (PMP) and QCOs (Quality Control Orders), to name a few.

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