## 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): India's manufacturing sector has experienced significant growth over the past decade, following the launch of the Make in India initiative in September 2014. As per the National Accounts Statistics released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, the Gross Value Added (GVA) of manufacturing at constant prices has nearly doubled - increasing from ₹15.60 lakh crore in 2013-14 to ₹28.25 lakh crore in 2023-24. Further, the share of the manufacturing  sector  as a  percentage  of  total  GVA  at  constant  prices increased from 17.2% in 2013-14 to 17.5% in 2023-24.

India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and GVA has witnessed a remarkable transformation  over  the  years.  Real  GDP  or  GDP  at  Constant  Prices  is estimated to attain a level of ₹187.97 lakh crore in FY 2024-25, against the First  Revised  Estimates  (FRE)  of  GDP  for  the  FY  2023-24  of  ₹176.51  lakh crore, registering a growth rate of 6.5%. Nominal GDP or GDP at Current Prices is estimated to attain  a level of ₹330.68 lakh crore in the FY 2024-25, against ₹301.23 lakh crore in FY 2023-24, showing a growth rate of 9.8%.

This significant growth in GVA and GDP during the past year has led to an increased contribution from the manufacturing sector to the overall economy.

- (b): Government of India has taken several measures to promote the growth of manufacturing  sector  and  create  more  employment  opportunities.  '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  enclosed  at Annexure I .

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.

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  the  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 12.60 lakhs (direct and indirect).

The schemes are applicable across India, and the selection of the investment location is at the discretion of the applicants. Concerned Ministries/ Departments  take  various  initiatives  to  encourage  setting  up  of  companies across the country through respective action plans, programmes, schemes and policies for the sectors being dealt by them, while States/UTs also have their own Schemes for attracting investments.

The  other  major  initiatives  include  Start-up  India,  National  Single  Window System,  GIS  enabled  Land  Bank,  Foreign  Direct  Investment  (FDI)  policy reforms,  PM  Gati  Shakti  National  Master  Plan  for  integrated  planning  of multimodal infrastructure, Project Monitoring Group to remove bottlenecks in setting  up  of  major infrastructure  projects,  setting  up  of  industrial  parks, interventions  to  improve  ease  of  doing  business,  measures  for  reduction  in compliance  burden,  rationalization  of  labor  laws,  introduction  of  Goods  and Services  Tax,  reduction  in  the  corporate  tax  rate,  policy  measures  to  boost domestic manufacturing through public procurement orders, Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP) and Quality Control Orders (QCOs), to name major ones.
