- Make  in  India  initiative  was  launched  on  September  25, 2014, to  facilitate investment, foster innovation, building best in class infrastructure, and making India  a  hub  for  manufacturing,  design  and  innovation.  The  development  of  a robust  manufacturing  sector  continues  to  be  a  key  priority  of  the  Indian Government.  Since  its  launch,  Make  in  India  initiative  has  made  significant achievements and presently focuses on 27 sectors under Make in India 2.0. which is  implemented  across  various  Ministries/Departments,  Central  Government, State Governments, including Tamil Nadu.

Government  has  taken  a  series  of  policy  initiatives  to  improve  the  economic situation and convert the disruption caused by COVID 19 into an opportunity for growth.  These  includes  the  Atmanirbhar  Bharat  packages,  introduction  of Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme in fourteen (14) sectors, 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. All the above initiatives/schemes are  implemented  across  various  Ministries/Departments,  Central  Government, State Governments, including Tamil Nadu.

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.

Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes for 14 key sectors (with an incentive outlay  of  Rs.  1.97  lakh  crore)  are  under  implementation  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. As of now 733 applications have been approved across the country in 14 sectors including Tamil Nadu.

The One District One Product (ODOP) is an initiative aimed at fostering balanced regional  development  across  all  districts  of  the  country.  The  initiative  aims  to promote at least One Product from each District (One District- One Product) of the country for enabling holistic socio-economic growth across all regions. The ODOP initiative  has identified more than 1000 products encompassing various sectors such as Textiles, agriculture, food processing, handicrafts and more from all 761 districts of the country.
