 Introduction on Make In India
Make in India, a type of Swadeshi movement , was launched by the Government of India on 25
September 2014 to encourage companies to manufacture their products in India and enthuse
with dedicated investments into manufacturing. Make in India is an initiative launched by the
Government of India to encourage national and multinational companies to manufacture their
products in India.
It also seeks to attract foreign capital investment in India. It focuses on job creation and skill
enhancement and is in 25 sectors of the economy and to transform India into a global design
and manufacturing hub. Under the initiative, brochures on these sectors and a web portal were
released. The initiative aims at high quality standards and minimizing the impact on the
environment.

4
 Four Pillars of Make In India
The “Make in India” initiative is based on four pillars, which have been identified to give boost
to entrepreneurship in India, not only in manufacturing but also other sectors.
 New Processes: ‘Make in India’ recognizes ‘ease of doing business’ as the single most
important factor to promote entrepreneurship. A number of initiatives have already
been undertaken to ease business environment. The aim is to de-license and de-regulate
the industry during the entire life cycle of a business.

 New Infrastructure: Availability of modern and facilitating infrastructure is a very

important requirement for the growth of industry. Government intends to develop
industrial corridors and smart cities to provide infrastructure based on state-of-the-art
technology with modern high-speed communication and integrated logistic

5
 arrangements. Existing infrastructure to be strengthened through upgradation of
infrastructure in industrial clusters. Innovation and research activities are supported
through fast paced registration system and accordingly infrastructure of Intellectual
Property Rights registration set-up has been upgraded. The requirement of skills for
industry are to be identified and accordingly development of workforce to be taken up.

 New Sectors: ‘Make in India’ has identified 25 sectors in manufacturing, infrastructure

and service activities and detailed information is being shared through interactive web-
portal and professionally developed brochures. FDI has been opened up in Defence
Production, Construction and Railway infrastructure in a big way.

 New Mindset: Industry is accustomed to see Government as a regulator. ‘Make in India’

intends to change this by bringing a paradigm shift in how Government interacts with
industry. The Government will partner industry in economic development of the country.
The approach will be that of a facilitator and not regulator.

Advantages of Make in India

 Develop Job Opportunity

One of the main purposes of Make in India crusade is to provide job opportunities for as many
citizens of India as possible. It has targeted the young generation of the country as its prime
beneficiary. The investments in the targeted sectors, i.e. telecommunications, pharmaceuticals,
tourism etc. will encourage the young entrepreneurs to come forth with their innovative ideas
without worrying about the source of speculation.
 Expand GDP
Due to the manufacturing of products in India, economic growth is inevitable, which will not
only boost the trade sector but also will increase the GDP of Indian economy as with the setting
up of new factories and various investments being speculated in the Indian commercial sectors
the flow of income will be humongous.

6
  Fortify the Rupee
The emergence of the manufacturing industries would automatically convert India into a hub
for the fabrication of various commercial products; as a result, there would be a grand
collection of the FDI, which, in turn, would strengthen the rupee against the domination of the
American dollar.
 Up-gradation of Technology
India being an underdeveloped country obviously lack various latest mechanization, which, is a
big hurdle in the path to development of the nation. Hence, with the myriad of countries
coming forth by the make In India crusade, India will be given the opportunity to make use of
the latest technology these countries bring along.
 Flow of Capital
Since the beginning of capitalization, the Indian currency is being spent on the foreign countries.
With the introduction of make in India, the capital will not only remain in India, but also the
foreign currency will be provided to the nation as well. In a nutshell, India will not spend on
foreign countries, but the foreign countries will spend in India in the form of investments and
wages.

Demerits of Make in India

 Negligence of Agriculture
The most negative impact of the Make in India campaign will be in the agriculture sector of
India. It is a well-known fact that Indian Territory has 61% cultivable land. With the introduction
of industrial sectors, the agriculture in India will be neglected somewhat.
 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 the 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.
 Disruption of Land

7
As stated above, India is very rich in the agriculture sector. About 60% of the Indian soil is
arable. With the emphasis being given to the Make in India campaign, thousands of companies
would come forth to set up their factories on the land which could be used for cultivation.
Eventually, this set up of manufacturing factories would lead to the permanent disruption of the
agrarian land in the near future.
 Interest in International Brands
As stated earlier, the brand value of Indian merchandise will definitely increase. But the Indian
upper class, which can actually afford such merchandise, is addicted to the foreign label. This
will eventually become a big hurdle for the local entrepreneurs as a great level of promotion is
required to build the confidence of people in the local brands.
 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 will worsen 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 workforce over China which will
expectedly take make in India to new heights in the near future.

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.

The Major Challenges of Make In India

A. Labour laws
With emerging youth population, India has the capability of becoming a super economy. But the
biggest hindrance is the labour laws and reforms in the country. The Global Rights Index (2016),
published annually by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), ranked India as one
of the 10 worst countries for working people. Large-scale exclusions of workers from labour law,
violence and arrests are the reasons for India’s poor performance. There are eight core
conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO) against forced labour. India has
sanctioned only four, and refuses to consent to the following four: Freedom of Association and
Protection of the Right to Organize Convention, Right to Organize and Collective Bargaining
Convention, Minimum Age Convention, Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention.
Solution: The government needs to hurry up on labour reform. Disciplining the workforce has
become too challenging an effort for the industry, impacting India’s manufacturing

8
competitiveness. The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, mandates companies employing 100 or
more workers to seek prior permission of the government to lay off even a single worker.
B. Taxation Regime
The complex taxation system, a huge amount of paperwork and corruption may be the main
cause of worries among the investors. India started out with an overly complex, poorly-designed
GST, which has dampened investor sentiment and created tremendous compliance burdens on
small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).
Solution:To revive the investment climate, the finance minister needs to do only one thing – act
on his own promise made in his very first budget of 2015-16, that he will eliminate most tax
incentives and put in place a flat 25% tax rate.
C. Political hold-ups
The biggest concern of policy makers, analysts, and investors related to the success of the ‘Make
in India’ initiative is around political hold-ups. In every session, the working of Parliament is
interrupted which delays the approval of important bills. Therefore, the economy and the mind-
sets of the investors suffer setbacks. Red tape can stifle the spirit of innovation and
entrepreneurship. Important bills and reforms related to land acquisition and labour are some
examples.
Solution: The government has to act as the central pivot of aligning industries, private
companies, public sectors and all stakeholders in realising this vision. The government has to
put realistic policies in place and concentrate on eliminating business barriers.

D. Skilled manpower
A report by consulting firm Ernst & Young said in 2012 that India lags far behind other nations in
imparting skill training. Not too much has changed since then. Over the years, industry experts
have argued that ‘lack of opportunities’ is a concern. But, it seems ‘lack of skills’ is a greater
concern. According to the National Sample Survey, out of the 470 million people of working age
in India, only 10% receive any kind of training or access to skilled employment opportunities.
Solution: Government should improve access to education with higher enrolment coupled with
better quality of education. Use of technology enabled solutions and adoption of the ‘PPP
model school’ format should be brought in. Also the number of Industrial Training Institutes
needs to be increased.
E. Role of states
Indian states play a very crucial role in the implementation and success of the Make in India
initiative. India has a versatile geographical and demographical distribution with a federal

9
political system. The involvement and cooperation of state-level decision-makers, political
leaders and authorities in a positive way is the basic requirement for the initiative to work. But
different political parties ruling different states differ and can never be brought on the same
page. To make the concept of Make in India a success, a common consensus among the states
need to be achieved.
Solution: There is lack of coordination between the state and the central government. Public
agencies which are mostly involved in the project execution have to set practices and processes
to execute and monitor investments in order to avoid project delays. PPI (Private Participation in
Infrastructure) should be high. The government and the financial institutions must help to
create MSME-oriented SEZs, hubs, clusters in rural areas.

Success Story of Patanjali

Make in India : Patanjali takes the fight into the MNC Camp
Make in India Slogan is lived by Patanjali. It shows the commitment of a company to improve
the economic condition of the country and provide quality products, competing with renowned
brands, foreign competitors and customers mind set. Make in India attached to opposition on
products of Foreign Companies has raised Patanjali’s image in minds of Indian consumers. It
maintains quality even when they adapted outsourcing manufacturing of few products.
 Product Range: The company manufactures more than 900 products including 45 types
of cosmetic products and 30 types of food products.
 Manufacturing: Patanjali Food and Herbal Park, one of the largest food parks in the
world spread across 100 acres, was established in 2009 and provides employment to
6,500 people.
 Market Reach: In last 2 years the Ayurvedic Products from 69% to 77% in all over the
India. Pantanjali’s products and has collaboration with the Future Group, Star Bazaar,
Easyday and other hypermarket chains.

10
  Success : Patanjali brand toothpaste had 6.2 per cent share during the quarter ended
June, compared to 2.2 per cent a year ago, making it the country's fourth-largest
toothpaste company.

In 2016, Patanjali announced entry to textile manufacturing with plan to make traditional
clothes such as Kurta Payjama and jeans.

Patanjali has inspired people by being an example of Make in India. Its 2020 vision is Rs 1,00,000
crore annual sales which looks completely possible with all multidirectional efforts made by the
company.

Application To Macroeconomics
Focusing on 25 key sectors, the campaign has brought in significant reforms such as higher
limits for foreign direct investment (FDI) and simplified investment norms for several sectors,
including railways, defence, insurance and medical devices. The campaign has been
supplemented by initiatives to make it easier to do business in India – simplifying processes of
incorporation and obtaining clearances, easing regulatory requirements, digitising regulatory
processes, along with various other state-specific initiatives. With the help of these campaigns,
India has become one of the most favourable investment destinations in the world.

Since the launch of the Make in India campaign in September 2014, gross FDI inflows have
increased substantially, by 32% to US$64.8bn, compared with a 16% increase in the 15 months
before the campaign. The main sectors attracting investment include services, construction
development, computer hardware and software, telecommunications and automotive.
During 2014–16, India received most of its FDI from Mauritius, Singapore, Netherlands, Japan
and the US. On 25 September 2014, Government of India launched Make in India initiative in
which policy statement on 25 sectors were released with relaxed norms on each sectors.
Following are some of major sectors for Foreign Direct Investment.

12
  Infrastructure
10% of India's GDP is based on construction activity. Indian government has invested $1 trillion
on infrastructure from 2012–2017. 40% of this $1 trillion had to be funded by private sector.
100% FDI under automatic route is permitted in construction sector for cities and townships.

 Automotive
The automotive value chain is one of the most significant industrial sector in order to explain
the worldwide foreign direct investment flows (FDI). During 2003-2013 period, the automotive
industry received the 8% of the total worldwide FDI; becoming the fourth major industrial

13
sector in terms of investment received. Inside the automotive value chain, the proportion of FDI
received by the automotive supply chain significantly increased during the last 10 years. In
2003, only the 26% of the total automotive FDI corresponded to the supply chain. However, in
2013, these proportion raised to 44% (FDI Markets, Financial Times). Taking into account the
previous evidence, the aim the paper is to contribute to the study of FDI determinants of
location decisions in the automotive industry, and particularly in the supply chain during the
2003-2013 period.

 Pharmaceutical Industry
India is one of the cheapest producers of drugs, the pharmaceutical industry and has
continuously witnessed large investments in the form of FDI. Indian Multi-National Corporations
(MNCs) have highly trained manpower and better technology. Therefore, these companies can
produce at a large scale at lower costs. Huge foreign investments have brought in new products,
latest technologies and better quality systems. In India, 100% FDI is allowed under the
automatic route under certain conditions.

14
  Service
FDI in service sector was increased by 46% in 2014–15. It is US $1.88 billion in 2017. Service
sector includes banking, insurance, outsourcing, research & development, courier and
technology testing. FDI limit in insurance sector was raised from 26% to 49% in 2014.

 Textile
India has most liberal and transparent policies in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) amongst
emerging countries. India is a promising destination for FDI in the textile sector. 100% FDI is
allowed in the textile sector under the automatic route. With its consistent growth performance
and abundant cheap skilled manpower, there are enormous opportunities both for domestic
and foreign investors to make investments in textile sector in India.

 Chemicals
The chemical industry in India is an indispensable part of the economy of the country, for it
constitutes around 6% of the country's GDP. Chemicals industry in India is highly diversified,
covering more than 80,000 commercial products. It is broadly classified into Basic chemicals,
Specialty chemicals, and Agrochemicals.
India is a strong global dye supplier, accounting for approximately 16% of the world production
of dyestuff and dye intermediates. In financial year 2019, the chemicals sector saw foreign

15
direct investment inflows of almost two billion U.S. dollars. This was a considerable increase in
investment inflows compared to the previous fiscal year when the foreign investments were
valued at about 13 million dollars.

 Airline
The civil aviation industry in India has emerged as one of the fastest growing industries in
the country during the last three years. India is currently considered the third largest
domestic civil aviation market in the world.
The country has 86 scheduled international airlines comprising of 5 Indian carriers and 81
foreign carriers, which ensure that India is well connected with most major countries.
Revenue passenger kilometres (RPK) in domestic airline demand rose by 18.7% in 2017-18.
Indian carriers reported a combined profit of $ 122 mn in 2015-16.

 Telecommunications
India is the 2nd largest Telecom Market in the World. The Indian Telecommunications network
with 1324 million connections (as on March 2015) is the third largest in the world. The sector is
growing at a speed of 45% during the recent years. This rapid growth is possible due to various
proactive and positive decisions of the Government and contribution of both by the public and
the private sectors. The rapid strides in the telecom sector have been facilitated by liberal
policies of the Government that provides easy market access for telecom equipment and a fair

16
regulatory framework for offering telecom services to the Indian consumers at affordable prices.
Presently, all the telecom services have been opened for private participation.

Make In India: Zero Defect Zero Effect

At a time when India’s Development pitch caused concern among skeptical environmentalists,
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India: Zero defect and Zero effect” remark on
Independence day-2014 came as a clear message that the country would not compromise on its
commitment towards environmental protection.
The slogan “Zero Defect Zero Effect” was given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and it signifies
two things:
 Production mechanisms wherein products have no defects
 Production process which has zero adverse environmental and ecological effects.
Thus, the ZED model aims to achieve high quality manufacturing that’s also green. While India
putting efforts to become global manufacturing hub, the ZED model is necessary to take forward
the efforts.
The scope of the model is spans across all sectors of manufacturing and service industry with a
special focus on micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME). The ZED model is meant to raise
the quality levels in the unregulated MSME sector. The MSME sector is the engine of Indian
economic growth. The MSME sector contributes 38% of the country’s GDP and around 110
million Indians are employed in the sector.
The ‘Zero defect, zero effect’ concept seems to be a theoretical concept but its relevance to
Indian manufacturing and lowering the impact on environment cannot be overstated. Questions
are raised on how development can be achieved without causing any effect on environment.
Production and environment protection can, and should, co-exist. Simple steps like reduction of
discharge can enhance the environmental sensitivity of our processes and can have far-reaching
impact.
Thus, the ZED model aims to achieve high quality manufacturing that’s also green. While India
putting efforts to become global manufacturing hub, the ZED model is necessary to take forward
the efforts.

17
 The Impact of Make In India on FDI, GDP And Increase in Employment
 Foreign Direct Investment
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) performs a multidimensional role in the overall development of
the host economies. Most of the studies advocates a positive relationship between foreign
direct investment and economic growth. FDI flows generally comes as capital bundled with
technology, skill and sometimes even market access.
Larger inflows of foreign investments will support the economy to achieve a sustainable high
path of economic growth. The Government of India announced a consolidated policy on May
12, 2015 and many initiatives have been taken towards relaxing FDI norms across sectors such
as defence , telecom, power exchanges and stock exchanges, among others. It is domestic
investment that has to lead the way, as FDI is under 8 percent of total investment in the country.
Not only the quantity but also the quality of FDI plays a crucial role in enhancing “Make in India”
initiatives. The economic development of a country is based on the performance of all three
sectors (Primary, Secondary and Tertiary) with more production, productivity and efficiency.
The development of the economy will geared up when foreign investment flows to India in the
areas like manufacturing, infrastructure, transport, technology, services, etc. In this context the
present study makes an attempt to study the relationship between FDI and economic growth in
the light of “Make in India” initiatives.

18
The FDI inflow grew by 20 percent each in 2014-15 and 2015-16. However, in 2016-17, the
country attracted the highest ever FDI inflow of 60 billion USD. In 2017-18, the nation saw the
FDI equity inflow of worth $33.75 in the first half of this fiscal, and the country is poised to see
FDI inflows in 2017-18 surpassing even the record $60 billion it received in the last financial
year.

With the country already witnessing an increase in FDI by nearly 44% since the launch of this
initiative, India seems on its way to achieving its stated target with the government leading the
way. ‘Make in India’ is the proof that the nation is willing to embrace growth by adopting
changes on the journey to becoming an economic superpower.

 Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

Make in India has introduced multiple new initiatives, promoting foreign direct investment,
implementing intellectual property rights and developing the manufacturing sector.
On May 2016, India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate for quarter January-March
stood at 7.9 per cent as against 7.3% in October – December, thereby making it the fastest
growing major economy in the world. Many foreign companies making the investments in Make
in India project thus having a great impact on the economy of India. Obviously, if the big
companies will set up their branches in India , it will directly affect the GDP of India.
The macroeconomic indicators have also displayed an encouraging trend in the recent times.
Even though the situation of manufacturing sector in India is a cause for concern, the industrial
growth scenario has improved in 2015 as compared to the previous fiscal.
Key Highlights
 This is the highest growth in two years and strongest since the first quarter of 2016.
 Sectors which registerd growth of over 7 per cent include ‘manufacturing, ‘electricity,
gas, water supply & other utility services’ ‘construction’ and ‘public administration,
defence and other services’.
 The growth in the ‘agriculture, forestry and fishing’, ‘mining and quarrying’, ‘Trade,
hotels, transport, communication and services related to broadcasting’ and financial,
real estate and professional services is estimated to be 5.3 percent, 0.1 percent, 6.7
percent, and 6.5 percent respectively during this period.
 GDP at current prices in Q1 of 2018-19 is estimated at Rs 44.33 lakh crore, as against Rs
38.97 lakh crore in Q1 of 2017-18, showing a growth rate of 13.8 percent.

19
  Increase in employment
 The main and the prime motive of Make in India campaign is to strengthen the
manufacturing sector. This campaign mainly focuses on this sector just because there is a lot
of scope of growth, employment, and contribution in the economy from this sector. The real
estate sector of the country is the second-largest sector. The employment statistics in this
sector is more than 35 million. The approximate share of this sector in the GDP was 62%-
63% in 2009-10 and the government intends to increase this contribution up to 70%-75% by
2030.
 Every USD 1 million investment in the tourism sector creates 78 jobs; hence, increase in
employment can be the reason of large investment. The government is also trying to
increase the number of domestic tourists as well.
 Since foreigners are being driven towards India since ages, then it is also one of the ways of
dealing with the foreign currency. Hence, the focus is also on to increase the Foreign
Exchange Earnings. Moreover, tourism is one of the great sectors for generating
employment opportunities. Hence, the more the investment; the more the employment!
 The contribution of automobile industry in country’s GDP is approximately 45%. The
employment rate of the sector is about 19 Million. India is the 7th largest producer of
vehicles in the world and produces approximately 24 Million vehicles annually.

So, these are some of the sectors where Make In India is targeting and the impact of the
relevant policies and schemes is evident as well. The way the government has arranged
these policies defines the enthusiasm of the ministers to take the country to a high level.

Moreover, all of these policies are a great source of creating employment opportunities. Not
just for men but for women as well! Besides, to increase the GDP will be the most beneficial
thing for the country.

20
 The Effect of Balance of Payments on Make In India
Balance of Payments (BOP) statistics systematically summarise, for a specific period, the
economic transactions of an economy with the rest of the world. The compilation and
dissemination of BOP data is the prime responsibility of RBI. The term “Make in India” is
another name of foreign direct investment with special focus on capital formation sector. The
“Make in India” Strategy is launched to attract foreign investors to invest almost in all sectors in
India to encourage International Economic Integration.
Foreign Direct Investment is one and only major instrument of attracting International Economic
Integration in any economy. It serves as a link between investment and saving. Many developing
countries like India are facing the deficit of savings. This deficit can be circumvented with the
help of Foreign Direct Investment. Foreign investment helps in reducing the defect of BOP.

From the above graph , we see that value of goods exports have fallen from $314 billion in 2013
to $275 billion in 2016 (12% fall).Value of goods imports too have fallen from $450 billion in
2013 to $384 billion in 2016 (15% fall).

21
Since imports fell faster than exports, India’s trade balance has improved and current account
deficit has improved with that.
We should welcome inflow of foreign investment in such way that it should be convenient and
favorable for Indian economy and enable us to achieve our cherished goal like rapid economic
development, removal of poverty, internal personal disparity in the development and making
our Balance of Payment favorable.

A Limitation of Make in India

Larsen & Toubro Chairman AM Naik has said that the government's ambitious Make in India
initiative has been unable to create enough jobs since companies still prefer to import goods
instead of manufacturing locally. He added that the Make in India programme has to do a lot
more. The L&T Chairman has said that job creation, especially in the manufacturing sector, has
not been able to keep pace with the supply of skilled labour.
India Inc, the biggest backers of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has now started acknowledging
that the government’s much-hyped ‘Make in India’ has failed to create jobs across sectors. In
fact, a top corporate honcho has even declared that India is “exporting more jobs than goods”,
as of now.
The interview comes at a time when there have been massive job losses across sectors,
especially in the automobile, IT and textile sectors. Recently a report by Society of Indian
Automobiles (SIAM) reported the lowest sales in 19 years, warning of another one million job
losses in the auto component sector. Already the auto sector has lost over 2.5 lakh jobs with
some leading companies announcing production cuts. It may be recalled that Narendra Modi,
during his campaign for the 104 elections had, announced that 500 million people will be
provided skill training and 2 crore jobs would be created in a year.
However, despite creating a separate Ministry and skill training of youth, there are not enough
jobs to absorb them.

22
 Suggestions and Future Scope

 With the ‘Make in India’ campaign the government wants an image makeover for India,
making it an ideal destination for manufacturing which would be a big thrust to Indian
economy, increase employment and also add to the GDP. However, it is important to
understand that, only the launch of campaign will not guarantee its success.
The supportive policy creations and law formations, and constitutional decisions also
play a crucial role in making the campaign successful. The manufacturing sector in India
is yet to see big gains from ‘Make in India’ campaign. But government is moving slowly
but steadily in the right direction to make India a manufacturing hub.

 The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 recently passed by Rajya Sabha is expected to
help the country move up from its current rank of ease of doing business index. At
present, India is ranked 136 among 189 countries on the parameter of resolving
insolvency. The law new aims to consolidate the laws relating to insolvency of companies
and limited liability entities (including limited liability partnerships and other entities
with limited liability), unlimited liability partnerships and individuals, presently
contained in a number of legislations, into a single legislation. Such consolidation will
provide for a greater clarity in law and facilitate the application of consistent and
coherent provisions to different stakeholders affected by business failure or inability to
pay debt.

23
  Boost for FDI Recent policy changes have made it easier to invest directly in Indian
companies. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is perhaps the easiest way to take advantage
of the ‘Make in India’ campaign. It is a main source of non-debt financial resource for the
economic development of India. Foreign companies invest in India to take advantage of
relatively lower wages, special investment privileges such as tax exemptions, etc.

Project Conclusion

India has already proved itself as one of the fastest growing economies of the world. It has been
ranked among the top 10 attractive destinations for investments from all over the world. It has
now become a professional license for investors to approach and endow in the escalation
legend of India. Since 1991, the regulatory environment in terms of foreign investment has been
consistently eased to make it investor-friendly.
The measures taken by the Government are directed to open new sectors for foreign direct
investment, increase the sectoral limit of existing sectors and simplifying other conditions of the
FDI policy. FDI policy reforms are meant to provide ease of doing business and accelerate the
pace of foreign investment in the country.
Over all scenario of make in India and FDI was a positive summon to prospective investors from
all over the world. It represents a wide-ranging refurbish of processes and policies. Earlier,
