1. **‘Make in India’ initiative launched by the Government aims to build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure, facilitate investment and foster innovation. In pursuance to this, the Government has taken several policy initiatives such as liberalization of FDI policy and Industrial Licensing policy, simplification of export procedures, creating level playing field for Indian private and public sector companies, preference to ‘Buy (Indian)’, ‘Buy and Make (Indian)’ and ‘Make’ categories over ‘Buy (Global)’ category in Defence Procurement Procedure-2013, thereby giving priority to indigenous weapons/equipment. Since launch of ‘Make in India’ initiative in Sept 2014, Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP) has issued 61 Industrial Licenses (ILs) to 48 companies for manufacture of various defence equipment. The name of companies which have been issued Industrial Licenses, is enclosed at Annexure-I to the Statement.**

1. **The Government has not conducted any study to find out the areas of opportunities and challenges in the defence sector in achieving the objectives of the scheme.

The Committee has submitted its report on 23** **rd** **July 2015. The Report contains a total of 43 recommendations.
