 FAILURES OF MAKING INDIA

Though modest achievements are there, the expected results or objectives in the current years are not
anywhere to be seen aa achieved due to exaggerated goals. The share of manufacturing fell to 14% from
15% that of 2014.When the comparison comes into place between Indian and China, it reveals that
China is five times more economical than the size of India’s. Most of the public enterprises underwent
the loss due to low productivity and non-effective systems. No update in the new data about Make in
India from the PM’s office also reveals its flop side. Followed by initial growth, the reverse trend has
shown the decline in sales of products. Only targets are to be seen without the answers of how and
when. Hence, the plan and strategies of redesigning India’s economy need to be changed, noticing no
uniform for success.

List of failures are –

1) Opposite to the objectives, Gross Domestic Products of India have fallen drastically.
2) Due to the launching of too many initiatives under many sectors, the loss in policy focus with
inbuilt inconsistencies has been noticed. Also, the proportionate investments are not yet in their
intended place
3) The growth rate of 12 to 14% has been considered an impossible and lofty target to achieve by
the industrial sector.
4) Another failure is the investment dependency of the policies on foreign capital and global
markets for the production.
