Major Initiatives Taken to Enable Make in India Make in India initiative has been a cornerstone in transforming India into a global manufacturing hub. With a strong focus on enhancing industrial capabilities, fostering innovation, and creating world-class infrastructure, the initiative aims to position India as a key player in the global economy. Supported by major programs like Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes, PM GatiShakti, the National Logistics Policy, and comprehensive tax reforms like the Goods and Services Tax (GST), Make in India continues to drive economic growth, job creation, and global competitiveness. Production linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes Aligned with India s vision of becoming 'Atmanirbhar' (self-reliant), the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes were introduced to enhance the country s manufacturing capabilities and boost exports. With an impressive outlay of ₹1.97 lakh crore (over US$26 billion), these schemes cover 14 key sectors aimed at fostering investment in cutting-edge technology and promoting global competitiveness. The 14 sectors covered under the PLI Scheme include: Mobile Man .....

By fostering economies of scale and enhancing global competitiveness, these schemes are expected to significantly boost production, stimulate manufacturing activities, and contribute to economic growth over the coming years. As of July 30, 2024, 755 applications have been approved across these sectors, leading to an investment realization of ₹1.23 lakh crore by March 2024. This investment has generated employment for approximately 8 lakh individuals, marking a significant stride towards achieving the objectives of the PLI Scheme. PM GatiShak .....

This remarkable growth underscores the initiative's success in fostering innovation, enhancing employment opportunities, and driving economic development across the nation. Tax Reforms The implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on July 1, 2017, marked a significant step in India's tax reforms, especially in the context of the Make in India initiative. GST unified the country s 36 states and union territories into a single common market, simplifying the tax structure and reducing the cascading effect of multiple taxes. This has lowered production costs, making local manufacturing more competitive. The GST rate on over 200 products was reduced from 28% to 18%, enhancing overall efficiency and productivity. The formation of the Goods Services Tax Council has further ensured the smooth implementation of GST, boosting foreign direct investment by fostering a stable and business-friendly tax environment.
