Pillars
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.
1. 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.
2. 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
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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
