Make in India, a type of Swadeshi movement covering 25 sectors of economy,[1] was launched by the Government of India in 2014 to encourage companies to manufacture their products in India. As per the current policy, 100% FDI is permitted in all the 25 sectors, except for space (74%), defence (49%) and news media (26%).[2][3] Japan and India announced a US$12 billion "Japan-India Make-in-India Special Finance Facility" fund.[4]

After the launch, India received ₹16.40 lakh crore (US$200 billion) worth of investment commitments and investment inquiries worth ₹1.5 lakh crore (US$18 billion) between September 2014 to February 2016.[5][6][7] As a result, India emerged as the top destination globally in 2015 for foreign direct investment (FDI), surpassing the USA and China, with US$63 billion FDI.[8] Several states launched their own Make in India initiatives, such as Vibrant Gujarat, "Make in Haryana" and "Make in Maharashtra".[9]

This initiative converges, synergises and enables other important Government of India schemes, such as Bharatmala, Sagarmala, Dedicated Freight Corridors, Industrial corridors, UDAN-RCS, BharatNet and Digital India.

The "Make In India" initiative

Make in India was launched on 25 September 2014[10] with the objective of job creation and skill enhancement in 25 sectors of the economy,[1] by improving the quality standards and minimising the impact on the environment,[11][12] to attract capital and technological investment in India.[1]

Ease of doing business

India jumped to 100th place out of 190 countries in the World Bank's 2017 ease of doing business index, from 130th in the 2016.[13] In February 2017, the government appointed the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the National Productivity Council to "to sensitise actual users and get their feedback on various reform measures".[14] As a result, now there is competition among the states of India to improve their current ranking on the ease of doing business index.[15][16]

Ongoing global campaign

The campaign was designed by Wieden+Kennedy,[17] with the launch a web portal and release of a brochures on the 25 sectors, after foreign equity caps, norms and procedures in various sectors were relaxed, including application of manufacturing application made available online and the validity of licenses was increased to three years.[18]

"Zero Defect Zero Effect" slogan was coined by Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, to emphasize on the production mechanism that produces products with no defects with no adverse environmental and ecological effects.[19][20]

"Make in India Week" multi-sectoral industrial event at the MMRDA from 13 February 2016 was attended by 2500+ international and 8000+ domestic, foreign government delegations from 68 countries and business teams from 72 countries and 17 Indian states also held expos. Event received over ₹15.2 lakh crore (US$180 billion) worth of investment commitments and investment inquiries worth ₹1.5 lakh crore (US$18 billion), where Maharashtra led with ₹8 lakh crore (US$96 billion) of investments.[21][22] Previously between September 2014 and November 2015, the government received ₹1.20 lakh crore (US$14 billion) worth of proposals from companies interested in manufacturing electronics in India,[23]
