Make in India is a major national programme of the Government of India designed
to facilitate investment, foster innovation, enhance skill development, protect
intellectual property and build best in class manufacturing infrastructure in
the country. The primary objective of this initiative is to attract investments
from across the globe and strengthen India's manufacturing sector.
It is being
led by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT),
Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. The Make in India
programme is very important for the economic growth of India as it aims at
utilising the existing Indian talent base, creating additional employment
opportunities and empowering secondary and tertiary sector. The programme also
aims at improving India's rank on the Ease of Doing Business index by
eliminating the unnecessary laws and regulations, making bureaucratic processes
easier, making the government more transparent, responsive and accountable.
I want to tell the people of the whole world: Come, make in India. Come and
manufacture in India. Go and sell in any countryGra of the world, but
manufacture here. We have skill, talent, discipline and the desire to do
something. We want to give the world an opportunity that come make in India,
Prime Minister of India, Mr Narendra Modi said while introducing the programme
in his maiden Independence Day speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort on
August 15, 2014. The initiative was formally introduced on September 25, 2014 by
Mr Modi at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, in the presence of business giants from
India.
The focus of Make in India programme is on 25 sectors. These include:
automobiles, automobile components, aviation, biotechnology, chemicals,
construction, defence manufacturing electrical machinery, electronic systems,
food processing, IT & BPM, leather, media and entertainment, mining, oil and
gas, pharmaceuticals, ports and shipping, railways, renewable energy, roads and
highways, space, textile and garments, thermal power, tourism and hospitality
and wellness.
The most important question that we have discussed in the report is Why Make
In India Is Important?
We can briefly state that due to the Make In India incentive our country stopped
relaying on other countries for their demand and the term of self reliance
started to develop in the Indian market. Every sector started to develop their
production in such a way that they could arrange all the desired resources and
produce all the products with in the country.
Due to which Indian economy started generating employment which gave a firm
amount of employment within the country and every section of society now started
to have a good amount of disposal income to spent.. Which gave a boost to the
Indian economy as now Indian economy started to get a good amount of cash in
hand to circulate so as a result of this procedure in economy of india started
improving.
Make in India had three stated objectives:
- to increase the manufacturing sector's growth rate to 12-14% per annum
- to create 100 million additional manufacturing jobs in the economy by
2022;
- to ensure that the manufacturing sector's contribution to GDP is
increased to 25% by 2022 (later revised to 2025)
Automobile sector
General Motors announced an investment of US$1 billion to manufacture
automobiles in Maharashtra.
In April 2017, Kia announced that the company would invest over $1.1 billion to
build a car manufacturing plant in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh. The facility is
the company's first manufacturing plant in India. Kia stated that it would hire
3,000 employees for the plant, and it would produce 300,000 cars annually.
Construction of the plant began in mid-2017 and is expected to be completed by
March 2019.
The first vehicles are scheduled to roll off production lines in
mid-2019. Kia president Han-Woo Park announced that the first model produced at
the plant would be an SUV(sport utility vehicle) specifically designed for the
Indian market. But not in West Bengal because of the aftermath of the Singur
protest. Nano project is the dream project of Ratan Tata and the Left Front
Government(1977-2011). The moto of the government was to provide jobs for
skilled and unskilled workers and also give an economic boost in West Bengal.
Later the company decided to build this project at Sanand in Gujarat. Park also
added that Kia would invest over $2 billion and create 10,000 jobs in India by
2021.
In March 2016, B.K Modi group announced that it is going to set up an electric
bus manufacturing plant near Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. The investment is through
a technological tie-up with BYD.
In July 2017, SAIC Motor announced that it is going to invest ₹2,000 crore ($300
million) to build a car manufacturing plant in Halol, Gujarat.

electric car manufacturer Tesla commencing partial operations by 2019 and full
operations by 2020.
Hitachi announced an auto-component plant in Chennai by 2016 with an increase in
their India employees count from 10,000 to 13,000.
The sales of automobile in india is increasing from an increasing rate after
the announcement of make in india incentive by the government so we can say that
it is one of the positive aspect of the make in india incentive.
Different international companies are also started to setup there production
unit in India.
Due to which the production and output of automobiles in the country has seen a
rapid growth.
Production units are increased subsequently the opportunity of employment is
also increased after the setup of major industries.

Defence Sector
- We are almost importing our 60% of defence sector from other countries. India
is 2nd largest importer of defence products all around the world. Defence
minister Rajnath Singh unveiled the defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) in New
Delhi on September 28, 2020, which is aligned with government vision of
Atmanirbhar Bharat and giving an impetus to the Make in India initiative. India
requires strong defence capabilities to attain its superpower ambition, growing
complexity of security challenges in India�s neighbourhood and economic power
- In pursuit of this India is one of the largest defence equipment importers
accounting to more than 14% of global arms imports during 2009-13 , Stockholm
International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
- However, with 60-70% import � dependence for weapons, spares and
ammunition create vulnerabilities during military crises.
- We are currently procuring Rs 800-900 billion worth of of capital equipment
every year and about Rs 250-300 billion of revenue equipment every year.
- Out of the total, around 600 billion worth of spares parts, components
and sub assemblies are getting imported every year
- Even if the aim is to manufacture 50-75% of this in India, it is Rs 300- 400
billion opportunity.
- Reducing Fiscal Deficit:
India is the second largest arms importer in the world ( after Saudi
Arabia). Higher import dependency leads to increase in the fiscal deficit.
Despite having the fifth largest defence budget in the world,
India procures 60% of its system from foreign markets. India can export its
indigenous defence technology and equipment to the neighbouring nations.
- Security Imperative:
Indigenisation in defence is critical to national
security also. It keeps intact the technological expertise and encourages
spin-off technologies and innovation that often stem from it.
- Employment generation:
Defence manufacturing will lead to the generations of
satellites industries that in turn will pave the way for generation of
employment opportunities. As per government estimates, a reduction in 20-25% in
defence related imports could directly create an additional 100,000 to 120,000
highly skilled jobs in India.
- Strategic Capability:
Self � sufficient and self- reliant defence industry will place India among
the top global powers
- Nationalism and Patriotism can increase with indegenious production of defence
equipment that in turn will not only boost the trust and confidence of the
Indian forces but will also strengthen a sense of security and sovereignty in
them.
- Government Initiatives:
The government has taken the following policy initiatives to promote �Make in
India� in defence sector:
Ministry of defence has prepared a Negative list of 101 items for which there
would be an embargo on them on the import beyond the timeline indicated against
them.
This negative list comprises of not just simple but also some high technology
weapons like artillery guns, assault rifles, corvettes, sonar systems, transport
aircrafts, Light combat helicopters, radars any many other items to fulfill the
needs of our defencesector.
In order to promote self-reliance in defence sector the government has announced
several measures under Atmanirbhar abhyaan

Make In India In Generating Income
Make in India is an initiative launched by the Government of India to encourage
multinational, as well as national companies to manufacture their products in
India. This programme was launched in 2014 on 25th of September by the PM at the
Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi. India emerged, after initiation of the programme in
2015 as the top destination globally for foreign direct investment, surpassing
the United States of America as well as the People's Republic of China.
Make in
India is a campaign launched by the PM, Narendra Modi, which facilitates all the
big business investors worldwide who want to do business in India. It is a big
step taken by the government of India to reduce the level of unemployment faced
by the youths of the country. The aim of launching this campaign in India is to
make India a world level manufacturing powerhouse which will definitely help in
solving the biggest issue of Indian economy.
This initiative was launched with
new deals for foreign investors successfully in New Delhi with the top
industrialists of India including Mukesh Ambani (Reliance Industries chairman),
Azim Premji (Wipro chairman), etc. The objective of this campaign is to grow
this to a 25% contribution as seen with other developing nations of Asia.
In
this course of action, the government expects to create more jobs, attract much
foreign direct investment, and transform India into a manufacturing hub
preferred around the globe. After the initiation of the program, India would
emerge as the top destination globally for foreign direct investment and a
global manufacturing hub. Make in India program not only includes attracting
foreign companies or investors to set up their business in India, but also
encouraging domestic companies to increase the production within the country.
More Job Opportunities: It will lead to the creation of many job opportunities.
Around ten million people are expected to get jobs. An increase in investment
will bring employment opportunities for the skilled labor force and this will
form a job market.
Advantages Of Make In India
Let�s have a look on the biggest advantages of Make
in India.
- Boost India�s Economic Growth:
The make in India campaign will lead to an increase in exports and
manufacturing. An increase in exports will improve the economy and India
will be transformed into a global hub of manufacturing through global
investment using the current technology. Manufacturing will also boost
India�s economic growth and GPD.
- More Job Opportunities:
It will lead to the creation of many job opportunities. Around ten million
people are expected to get jobs. An increase in investment will bring
employment opportunities for the skilled labor force and this will form a
job market.
- Attract More Foreign Direct Investment (FDI):
It will welcome more FDI. Since
the government had promised to improve the ease of running businesses in India,
it is going to attract many FDI. At the moment it has already received an amount
of INR 20 K million from a proposal that was made on October 2014.
- Investment in India:
Through Make in India Project more companies are looking to set up
factories, a unit known as Invest India is in the process of being put to
place. This unit will be under the department of commerce and will be
available any time to make it easy to carry out regulatory clearance within
the shortest time possible ensuring that businesses are run in India easily.
- Improvement
in Areas:
When a factory or an industry is set up in an area, it attracts labour,
markets, and other people. With this, the financial status of the families which
are living Mukt Shabd Journal Volume IX, Issue IX, SEPTEMBER/2020 ISSN NO :
2347-3150 Page No : 27 nearby to these areas will also improve. The area, its
neighbouring places and the people living in these places will develop all
together.
- Increasing the Value of Rupees:
Make in India will be attracting more Foreign Direct Investment and which
will result in increasing the value of Indian Rupee against the American
Dollar. This will also reduce the effect of the hegemony of Dollar over
Indian Rupee.
- A Shift from International Brand to Native Brands:
Indians are attracted to international brands and do not pay attention to
the indigenous brands, and this brings loss to indigenous producers. With
Make in India, the indigenous products will get its recognition in the
country, and these producers will start making profits.
- Technological Advancements:
Make in India allows Indians to use the latest technology. This
campaign encourages Indians to make new technology. Attention is also given to
improving the skills of labour in the country
- Simplifying Business:
Make in India is an open invitation to manufacturers present in every corner
of the world. For inviting as many manufacturers as possible, the government
has removed many restrictions.
- Innovative Ideas from Young Generation:
The young generation of India never gets an environment within the
boundaries of the country to develop their skills and implement their
innovative ideas in the country, and therefore they leave India for getting
better opportunities. Make in India will provide the needed environment in
the country itself and will take innovative ideas from the talented young
generation of the country.
- Development of Rural India:
When a factory is set up, it not only attracts labour but also attract development in that particular region. When a factory is
set up in rural areas, then such areas are blessed with schools, healthcare
facilities, markets, etc.
Effect of make in India on local market
- There is boost in local market after launching of Make in India. It had
a huge effect on local markets, street vendors, local craftsman, weavers.
India is an indigenous country and this scheme focuses on bringing up the
rich cultural heritage thet India has.
The PM street Vendor�s Atma Nirbhbhar Nidhi (SVANidhi) scheme was launched in
June 2020 as a Micro-credit facility which aims to empower street vendors to
recover losses incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- It has been established under the aegis of the Ministry of Housing and
Urban Affairs (MoHUA)
- Key Objectives of the PM SVANidhi Scheme are:
- Facilitating working capital loans up to INR 10,000
- Incentivising regular repayment of loans by offering an interest subsidy of
7% per annum. This subsidy will be credited back on a quarterly basis.
- Rewarding digital transactions with monthly cash back offers.
Disadvantages Of Make In India
Now let�s have a look the biggest disadvantages of Make in India. Mukt Shabd
Journal Volume IX, Issue IX, SEPTEMBER/2020 ISSN NO : 2347-3150 Page No : 28
- Exclusion of Agriculture:
India is an agrarian country with 61 percent of the total land under
cultivation. But, Make in India encourages industrial development and
excludes agriculture from it.
- Exploitation of Resources:
Resources are limited in nature, while the demands of human beings have no
end. Make in India focuses on developing manufacturing industries that
consume many natural resources. This will endanger the survival of the
population soon.
- Loss to Small Entrepreneurs:
Make in India welcomes other countries in India, and when these countries
set up its manufacturing unit in India, they attract the local people toward
them, and this brings loss to small entrepreneurs who are already struggling
to set up their position.
- Loss of Cultivable Land:
The campaign focus on setting up of manufacturing unit in India. These
manufacturing units can be set up at any place, and sometimes it also
settles on those lands which are used for cultivation. Therefore, Make in
India will destroy the worth of cultivable land.
- Loss to Other Sectors:
The Indian economy has three
sectors, named the Primary sector, Industrial or Secondary sector, and Service
sector, but Make in India is emphasising on Secondary sector leaving all sectors
behind. As the economy cannot develop by developing one sector only,
complete attention on the manufacturing sector will not bring economic
development to the country.
- Pollution:
According to the data available, the Pollution Index of India is 76.50, and
this level will surely increase after Make in India Campaign.
- Loss for Small Entrepreneurs:
The make in India campaign, welcomes foreign countries to manufacture in
India with open arms, this automatically eases up the various restrictions
over trade with foreign countries, inviting attention of the international
commercial companies. However, these companies will not only seduce the
Indian population but also would dominate the small local entrepreneurs and
force them out of business.
- Manufacturing based Economy:
Indian economy is one of the largest economies in the world. It constitutes
of three sectors i.e. agriculture, industry and services. Now the Indian
economy majors up from the service sector which contributed up to 57% of the
GDP. But with the introduction of the make in India campaign the economy is
likely to rely completely on the manufacturing and exporting while the
import industry will remain static. This eventually will be a huge loss for
the other economic sectors and would automatically reduce the advancement of
make in India. Mukt Shabd Journal Volume IX, Issue IX, SEPTEMBER/2020 ISSN
NO : 2347-3150 Page No : 29
- Bad Relations with China:
The Indo-China relation is
already a problematic cause for the country, with the initiation of the make in
India crusade; India stands as one of the most promising rivals for China. This
automatically has worsen the India�s long term feud with China, gradually with
the success of Make in India, it is possible for the situation to become worse
among the two economically growing countries because India has the advantage of
young and skilled work force over China which will expectedly take make in India
to new heights in the near future.
Make In India: Impact On Indian Economy
The main focus of Make in India Campaign is mainly on 25 sectors. The supreme
objectives of Make in India are as follow:
These sectors are 1. Automobiles 2.
Food processing 3. Renewable energy 4. Automobile components 5. IT and BPM 6.
Roads and highways 7. Aviation 8. Leather 9. Space 10. Biotechnology 11.
Media,Entertainment 12. Textiles and garments 13. Chemicals 14. Mining 15.
Thermal power 16. Construction 17. Oil and gas 18. Tourism, Hospitality 19.
Defense manufacturing 20. Pharmaceuticals 21. Wellness 22. Electrical machinery
23. Ports 24. Electronic system 25. Railways. Almost every sector is
capital-intensive and demands a lot of skill.
So, with the more and more
investment in these sectors, the main focus will be on increasing employment and
the use of advanced technology. It�s Creates a policy framework to ease foreign
investment, ease of business and management of intellectual property. This helps
industries to establish their manufacturing bases in India.. Exports from such
industries help in contributing to our foreign exchange reserve.
Most
importantly, such an initiative helps bring critical knowledge about
manufacturing and production into the Indian population. This initiative, by Mr
Modi is literally inviting the rich and semi-rich countries to step in India and
invest their money for the future of India. It�s like inviting the countries to
set up their companies in India and manufacture in the territory of our country.
Now, this initiative has a great impact on the economy of our Mukt Shabd Journal
Volume IX, Issue IX, SEPTEMBER/2020 ISSN NO : 2347-3150 Page No : 30 country.
Obviously, if the big companies will setup their branches here, it will directly
affect the GDP of India.
The main thing is that the focus is on the
manufacturing sector, and the population of India is majorly middle-class or
lower middle-class. So, the products manufactured by the foreign companies will
be entirely for the upper section of the society. Hence, it is possible that the
goals and aspirations of Make in India may not find much success. Make in India
initiative is an honest attempt to revive the fortunes of Industry /
Manufacturing sector. Revival of Industry sector is key role to revival of
Indian economy.
Digital India will help to maintain contribution of Service
sector but manufacturing / industry sector has to grow at much faster pace to
out-pace service sector. It is not an easy task. Government should target to
increase contribution of Industry / manufacturing from existing 16% to 35% in
next 5 years. Make in India will help to achieve this goal but it comes with its
own set of challenges. Manufacturing is capital and resources intensive sector
which will require conductive environment for business. Labour issues will be
major hurdle which the govt. is trying to handle through labour reforms.
Besides
this, a major push is required to upgrade infrastructure of country. Govt. has
also set up 10,000 Cr start up fund to encourage entrepreneurship. Basically
objective is to create ecosystem of small industries in periphery of
manufacturing hub similar to Maruti model. Government will provide all the
approvals under Make in India initiate in a time bound manner through single
online portal. However, as that quote goes ���Never judge a book by its cover. So,
today, we are not going to judge the Make in India initiative by its policies
and schemes, but future results.
Research and Development.
To give a boost to innovation and continuously launch new services and products,
multinational companies spend billions on research and development (R&D), which
also helps in enhancing the quality of their existing products. After all, it�s
the huge investments in R&D that lead to the next generation of technology.
India offers talent and low costs, as a result of which many of these companies
have (or are planning to) set up an R&D centre in India. The local industry,
however, can do better on this front.
With its vast market, India is the land of unlimited opportunities for
businesses. This, coupled with a proactive government, cost efficiencies,
technical competencies, and a low-cost workforce for companies setting up their
R&D centres here, is boosting investments and employment opportunities.
Government incentives and initiatives such as Make in India, Start-up India, NPE
2019, FAME, etc, along with other enabling policies are helping global firms to
set up their R&D centres in India.
India has become a key contributor in the global R&D sector, and demand for
competitive technology will only increase the investments from big companies.
Technology transitions such as the rollout of 5G/LTE networks and IoT will also
accelerate the adoption of electronic products. This will further augment
investments in production, distribution and R&D in the forthcoming years.
In India, investments in R&D have been mainly driven by the Central government,
with the private sector and state governments found to be lagging in this area.
This is in contrast to the advanced countries, where the private sector is the
dominant and driving force behind R&D spending.
Government research is being driven by central public sector enterprises (CPSEs),
primarily in the power and petroleum sectors. Ratan Watal, member secretary to
the Prime Minister�s Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC), says that the growth in
R&D expenditure should be commensurate with the growth in GDP.
The government is encouraging investments in R&D in various ways. This includes
a tax-friendly Special Economic Zone policy for the next 20 years; incentives
for R&D investments in technology, talent development and reskilling;
encouraging funding for technology startups; easing the taxation regime for the
digital economy; and promoting ease of doing business.
The tax benefits offered by the Centre include incentives on capital
expenditures incurred by companies carrying out scientific research.
Some of
these incentives (Source: India-briefing.com) are given below:
- A concessional tax rate of 10 per cent (plus applicable surcharge and tax) on
income earned from royalty on patents developed and registered in India.
- A deduction of 150 per cent for manufacturing companies on in-house R&D
expenditure for calculating tax (till March 2020, after which it will be
phased down to 100 per cent). This includes expenditure on scientific
research related to the production of articles and products, on the filing
of patent applications and on obtaining approvals from regulatory
authorities.
- Custom duty exemption to the in-house unit of industries for the
consumables and equipment needed for R&D.
- A concession in GST for research institutions.
Conclusion
To erode unemployment from India free and bringing development this policy is
the urgent need. We can reduce poverty to a great level by solving the
unemployment issue for youths. The country�s economy will surely achieve great
heights after the success of Make in India campaign. This, in turn, might solve
several social issues in the country.
In the last six years, the government has significantly improved the business
climate in the country. Make in India project has become a platform for national
development, the campaign has made its presence felt across the globe. The �zero
defect zero effect� phrase that came with Make in India campaign has shown many
positive impacts on the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) of India. As
a result, several companies are now manufacturing goods with �zero defects� and
ensuring that it has �zero effect� on the environment. Between September 2014 to
February 2016 India received investment commitments worth US$250 billion and
investment inquiries worth US$23 billion.
On a concluding note, it can be safely
stated that make in India is an opportunity for everyone. It is a prospect,
which if given time will flourish like a spring flower and would provide with
the expected fruit.
This India globalization method will bring a need for B2B
marketing for each business to create global leads. The Global B4B Marketing is
the best way Mukt Shabd Journal Volume IX, Issue IX, SEPTEMBER/2020 ISSN NO :

theme and also accept that this is an opportunity before us and we must cash it.
This project will help us to stand globally with strong economy along with our
Indian brand through Make in India. It Creates job opportunities and looks for
overall development of India. But like every coin has two sides Make in India is
not in the favor of agriculture development.
The government of India has taken number of steps to further encourage
investment and further improve business climate.
Make in India mission is
one such long term initiative which will realize the dream of transforming India
into manufacturing Hub. Start-ups in the core manufacturing sectors are poised
to play a crucial role in the success of
Make in India. Start-ups in the
fields of telecom, defense manufacturing, automobile, Internet of Things,
financial technology modules and mobile internet have immense potential to
succeed in the scheme of
Make in India Make in India
scheme also focuses on producing products with zero defects and zero effects on
environment.
Preference:
Modi Government announced Make in India incentive in the year 2014 its had been
around 6 years after the announcement so as a citizen of the country its my full
right to know everything about the government�s initiative so it gave me the
motivation to write this report and to study the initiative with my full
efforts.
