Four Pillars of Make in India
1. New Processes: It emphasizes the need for simplifying and modernizing regulatory
and administrative processes to make it easier to do business in India. The goal is to reduce
bureaucratic hurdles and enhance transparency by working on reducing the rank in Ease of
Doing Index. This encourages both domestic and foreign companies to invest in and establish
their operations in India, ultimately boosting manufacturing.
The World Bank developed a ranking system called the Ease of Doing Business (EODB) index.
Higher rankings in the EODB index (a lower numerical number) denote better, simpler
business rules and stronger property rights protection. India was placed 63rd out of 190 nations
in the Doing Business 2020: World Bank Report. The Indian government began a series of
regulatory changes in 2014 with the goal of facilitating business operations. The initiative is a
significant contribution to the attempt to improve the business environment. More than 39,000
compliances have been lowered and more than 3,400 legal provisions are now decriminalized
in order to further improve the ease of doing business in the nation. This efforts by government
are creating an impact in India's ranking in the EODB index.
• The overall amount of industrial investment proposals for 2022 increased to US$ 298
billion (Rs. 23.6 lakh crore) from US$ 169.5 billion (Rs. 13.8 lakh crore) in the previous
year.

2. New Infrastructure: A robust infrastructure is essential for the growth of the
manufacturing sector. This pillar focuses on the importance of developing world-class
infrastructure, including transportation, logistics, energy, and digital connectivity. A well-
developed infrastructure not only facilitates the movement of goods but also attracts investment
and supports industrial expansion. To facilitate the new infrastructure, government is focusing
on the developing industrial corridors, smart cities and high-speed communication.
Some Highlights
• The number of patent applications has increased by 13.57% and domestic applications
now account for 44.41%(2021-22) of all applications, up from 41.58% in 2020-21.
• Number of patent grants also increased by 5.94% during the same period.
• Pending patent applications have decreased by 40% during the past 3 years.

• In filing of design applications, there is an increase of 59.38% in the year 2020-21.
Disposal of applications increased by 68.68% in 2021-22 compared to previous year.
• Trademark registrations have increased by 301.8% in 2021-22, as compared to 2015-
16
• Start-up applicants are given a 50% fee concession on application filing of trademark.
• In 2021-22, there was an increase of 32.4% in applications of copyright.
increase in cross-border M&A of 83% to US$ 27 billion. In 2022, India becomes a major
recipient of FDI and earns the third-highest level of foreign investment. Over the course of the
last nine years (April 2014–March 2023), FDI inflows totalled US$ 596.07 billion. More than
101 nations, who invested in 31 UTs, States, and 57 sectors throughout the nation, contributed
this FDI.

FDI Growth
3. New Sectors: India aims to diversify its manufacturing base by promoting the
growth of selected 25 sectors. While traditional manufacturing sectors like textiles and
automotive continue to thrive, the government encourages investment in industries such as
aerospace, defence, electronics, renewable energy, and pharmaceuticals. This diversification
helps reduce dependence on a few industries and fosters innovation and competitiveness.

India is poised to play a key role in the global electric vehicle revolution. The EV market in
the country is expected to grow rapidly, with annual sales reaching 10 million units by 2030.
This will create a significant economic impact and create 50 million direct and indirect jobs.
The Indian government is supporting the growth of the automobile industry through initiatives
such as the establishment of India's first Machine Tool Park. The Department of Heavy Industry
also administers 29 Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) and five autonomous
organizations that contribute to the industry's vitality.
2) Aviation Sector:
In terms of domestic traffic, the Indian Civil Aviation ranks 3rd largest in the world. India’s
recent developments in the field of aviation and drone technology signal a promising future for
the industry. In a significant move, India has transitioned into a "green zone" for drone
operations, eliminating the need for prior permissions. This streamlined approach aims to
encourage the use of drones for various applications, while simultaneously supporting the
domestic drone manufacturing sector through initiatives like the Production-Linked Incentive
(PLI) scheme.
The drone market in India is experiencing a remarkable growth trajectory, with projections
indicating substantial expansion. From a market value of INR 2,900 Crores in 2020, the drone
industry is expected to soar to approximately INR 77,300 Crores by 2025, showcasing an
impressive Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 80%.The further projections
anticipates that the drone market could reach astonishing valuation of INR 2,95,000 Crores by

2030. These figures indicate humongous potential and opportunities in the Indian drone
market.
In parallel, India's regional connectivity efforts have seen substantial progress through the
UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik) initiative. As of February 28, 2023, a total of 469 routes
have been operationalized under UDAN, linking 74 unserved and underserved airports across
the country.
• FDI in the defence sector is allowed up to 74% through automatic route (from earlier
49%) for companies seeking new industrial licenses. FDI beyond 74% and up to 100%
will be permitted under the Government route.

• Between April 2000 and March 2023, there was a total of USD 15.78 Mn in FDI equity
infusion into the defence sector.
• Procurement Policy (procurement of defence is governed by defence procurement
procedure)

4. New Mindset: The "New Mindset" pillar represents a shift in attitude and approach
towards manufacturing. It encourages entrepreneurship, innovation, and a proactive approach
to economic development. This involves not only government policies but also a cultural shift
that values manufacturing as a key driver of economic growth. It promotes a culture of 'Make
in India' where domestic production is prioritized over imports.
National single window system (NSWS): In order to make carrying out business easier, the
NSWS was introduced in September 2021. It offers investors a single digital platform for
permits and licenses. To enhance the investor experience, this point has combined numerous
formerly- being concurrence processes from different Ministries/ Departments of the
Government of India and State Governments.
Gati shakti: The Government has also launched a programme for multimodal connectivity to
manufacturing zones in the country, called the Prime Minister’s Gati shakti programme,
which will ensure logistical effectiveness in business operations through the creation of
structure that improves connectivity.
Additionally, the government launched plans to create industrial corridors. These corridors
promote inclusive growth.
• Delhi- Mumbai
• Amritsar- Kolkata
• Bengaluru- Mumbai
• Chennai- Bengaluru
One District One Product: It helps giving crafters and directors of handloom, crafts, fabrics,
agrarian, and reused products a global platform and making it easier to promote and produce
indigenous goods from every quarter of the nation, this action hopes to foster the
socioeconomic development of the colourful corridor of the nation.

Impact of Make in India
• FDI inflows: Inflows of foreign direct investment into India were USD 45.15
billion in 2014–2015, setting a record that has been continuously broken for the past
eight years. With USD 83.6 billion, the years 2021–22 had the largest level of FDI
ever. India is on track to bring in USD 100 billion in foreign direct investment during
the current fiscal year (2022–23), thanks to recent economic changes and
improvements in the ease of doing business.
• Production Linked Incentives: By encouraging both domestic and foreign
investment and developing manufacturing companies that compete on a worldwide
scale, the PLI plan is enhancing India's manufacturing sector. This scheme targets 14
sectors of strategic and economic importance to India. Under this scheme, the
government has offered subsidies as high as 50% to businesses making products
ranging from semiconductors to drones. According to the Economic survey, the PLI
plan for large scale electronics has drawn an investment of INR 4,784 crore and
helped produce INR 2.04 lakh crore in total, including INR 80,769 crore in exports
(as of September 2022). According to information provided by the Ministry of
Electronics and Information Technology, the PLI scheme for large-scale electronics
has proven to be the most effective program, creating 28,636 jobs and increasing
smartphone exports by 139% over the past three years. Similarly, the plan has
attracted projected investment of INR 74,850 crore over a five-year period for the
automobile and auto component industries. This scheme will also generate massive
primary and secondary employment. This scheme is expected to create increased
production of Rs 40 lakh crore and additional employment of 60 lakhs across the 14
sectors in the next five years.

with services across the whole investment process, including the pre-investment stage,
execution, and post-delivery services.
• There are also several schemes launched by the government to support the Make in
India initiative like Skill India, Digital India, Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana
(PMJDY), Smart cities, Amrut, Sagarmala- Port led development and AGNII.
3. Less focus on agriculture: Agriculture is the main activity of rural economies in India.
Indian Territory has more than 60% of its area suitable for cultivation. Agriculture in India
will be somewhat ignored when manufacturing sectors are introduced. Neglecting agriculture
can lead to unequal economic growth, with urban regions enjoying the benefits of
industrialization far more than rural areas, which still deal with problems.
5. Environmental Concerns: The Make in India program aimed to boost manufacturing, but
it did not adequately address environmental concerns. Rapid industrialization without proper
environmental regulations and sustainable practices can lead to pollution and ecological
damage. Incorporating environmental sustainability as a core component of the program would
have ensured responsible manufacturing practices.
14 | P a g e
6. Unequal Regional Development: The Make in India program initially focused on a few
key sectors and states, resulting in unequal regional development. Concentrating investments
and resources in select regions can lead to an imbalance in economic growth and neglect of
other regions. A more balanced approach that promotes inclusive growth across all states and
sectors would have yielded better results.

Conclusion
The "Make in India" initiative is an ambitious project aimed at fostering sustainable economic
growth. It envisions India becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse through a series of
determined policies. The theme of Make in India is an opportunity that we must seize to
strengthen our economy and global brand. This initiative has the potential to create jobs,
stimulate overall development, and elevate India's economic standing worldwide. However, it's
important to acknowledge that ‘Make in India’ may not align with agricultural development
goals. Despite this, India possesses the capability to significantly increase its GDP, possibly
reaching 25% in the coming years.
The Indian government has taken numerous measures to encourage investment and enhance
the business environment, and the Make in India mission is a pivotal, long-term initiative that
aims to transform India into a manufacturing hub. Furthermore, startups in key manufacturing
sectors are poised to play a pivotal role in the success of Make in India.
