## 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 (f): 'Make in India' is an initiative which was launched across India 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.  It is one    of  the  unique  'Vocal  for  Local' initiatives that promoted India's manufacturing domain to the world. At present,  Make  in  India  2.0  focuses    on    27    sectors    implemented across    various    Ministries/  Departments  and  State  Governments including State of Punjab. The list of sectors under Make in India 2.0 is placed at Annexure. Make in India is an initiative and not a scheme with   a fund or budget.

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  series  of  measures  taken  by  the  Government  to  improve  the economic  situation  and  convert  the  disruption  caused  by  COVID  19 into an opportunity for growth include Atmanirbhar 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 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.

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  the 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 746 applications have been approved across the country in 14 sectors (including Punjab).

To  attract  more  FDI,  the  Government  has  put  in  place  an  investor friendly  FDI  policy,  wherein  most  of  the  sectors,  except  certain strategically  important  sectors,  are  open  for  100%  FDI  under  the automatic route. The Government has implemented  several  radical and  transformative  FDI  reforms  across  sectors  such  as Defence, Pension,  Other  Financial  Services,  Asset reconstruction  Companies, Broadcasting, Pharmaceuticals, Single Brand Retail Trading, Construction & Development, Civil Aviation,  Power        Exchanges, e-commerce  activities,  Coal  Mining,  Contract Manufacturing,  Digital Media, Insurance Intermediaries,  Insurance, Petroleum & Natural Gas and  Telecom,  etc.  Further, the  Government  reviews  the  FDI  policy on  an  ongoing  basis  and  makes  significant  changes  from  time  to time,  to  ensure  that  India    remains  an  attractive  &  investor  friendly destination.

The  activities  under  the  Make  in  India  initiative  are  also  being undertaken by all the Central Government Ministries/ Departments and various  State  Governments  including  State  of  Punjab.  Ministries formulate action plans, programmes, schemes and  policies  for  the sectors being dealt by them, while States  also  have  their  own Schemes  for  attracting  investments.  Further,  the  information  on number of  persons   benefitted, works/ activities undertaken etc. is not centrally maintained.
