## 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 (c): '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 Karnataka.

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 in-demand jobs; a vibrant and dynamic MSME sector; availability of technology; and quality products.

be pleased to state:

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 Karnataka.

The impact of PLI Schemes has been significant across various sectors in India. These schemes have incentivized domestic manufacturing, leading to increased production, job creation and a boost in exports. The pharmaceuticals sector has witnessed cumulative sales of Rs. 2.66 lakh crore which includes exports of Rs. 1.70 lakh crore achieved in the first three years of the scheme. The scheme has contributed to India becoming a net exporter of bulk drugs (2280 cr.) from net importer (-1930 cr.) as was the case in FY 2021-22. It has also resulted in significant reduction in gap between the domestic manufacturing capacity and demand of critical drugs.

Under  the  PLI  Scheme  for  medical  devices,  21  projects  have  started manufacturing of 54 unique medical devices, which include high end devices such  as  Linear  Accelerator  (LINAC),  MRI,  CT-Scan,  Heart  Valve,  Stent, Dialyzer Machine, C-Arm, Cath Lab, Mammograph, MRI Coils, etc. These Highend medical devices were imported earlier and are now being manufacture in India.   The production of mobiles in value terms has increased by around 146% from  INR  2,13,773  Cr  in  2020-21  to  INR  5,25,000  crore  in  2024-25  as  per industry association and DGCIS. During the same period, exports of mobile phones in value terms has increased by around 775% from INR 22,870 crore in 2020-21 to INR 2,00,000 crore in 2024-25.

As  of  now  806  applications  have  been  approved  across  the  country  in  14 sectors  including  Karnataka.  The  details  of  the  sector-wise  number  of manufacturing units established under the scheme in Karnataka is placed at Annexure  II .  The  State  ranks  second  in  terms  of  Investment  through cumulative FDI equity inflow of USD 57.64 billion reported in the country during October 2019 - March 2025.

In addition to ongoing other schemes of various Departments and Ministries aimed at Make in India, 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.
