## STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (a)  TO  (e)  OF  LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 188 FOR ANSWER ON 11.12.2015

(a) & (b):  'Make  in  India'  initiative  launched  by  the  Government,  in September 2014, aims to build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure,  facilitate  investment  and  foster  innovation.    Defence manufacturing is identified  as  one  amongst  25  Sectors  under  'Make  in India'  initiative.    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, for providing impetus to indigenous production of arms, ammunition and equipment.

A positive response has been received from both within the country and globally to the 'Make in India' initiative.  Some of the major foreign countries  like  United  States  of  America  (USA),  Russia,  Israel,  Japan, Korea  etc.  have  evinced  interest  in  participating  in  'Make  in  India' initiative.    Since  the  launch  of  'Make  in  India'  initiative,  61  companies have  obtained  81  Industrial  Licenses  (ILs)  for  manufacture  of  various defence  equipment  upto  October  2015.    These  Industrial  Licenses include  manufacture  of  Artillery  Guns,  Armoured  Fighting  Vehicles, warships,  Aircrafts,  UAVs,  Radars  etc.    The  name  of  companies  which have been issued Industrial Licenses, since the launch of 'Make in India' initiative is enclosed at Annexure-I to the Statement.

(c)  The  list  of  the  major  equipment  manufactured  domestically  with indigenous technology is placed at Annexure-II.

(d) & (e):  In  May  2001,  the  defence  industry  sector,  which  was  hitherto reserved for the public sector, was opened upto 100% for Indian private sector  participation  with  FDI  permissible  upto  26%,  both  subject  to licensing.  However, FDI policy has been recently revised in November 2015  under  which  Foreign  Investment  up  to  49%  is  allowed  through automatic route and above 49% under Government route on case-to-case basis, wherever it is likely to result in access to modern and 'state-of-art' technology in the country.

In  the  current  financial  year,  39  Indian  private  companies  have obtained  49  Industrial  Licenses,  till  October  2015,  for  manufacture  of various  defence  equipments.    Further,  nine  (09)  proposals  have  been received for foreign investment in the current financial year, out of which 3 proposals have been approved by the Government.
