Made in China To Make in India
Made in China To Make in India
‘Zero defect zero effect’ is a key phrase which has come to be associated with the Make in
India campaign. In the words of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, “Let’s think about making our
product which has 'zero defect'… and 'zero effect' so that the manufacturing does not have an
adverse effect on our environment".5 Thus, sustainable development in the country is being
made possible by imposing high-quality manufacturing standards while minimising
environmental and ecological impact.
Launch Ceremony
Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi launched the Make In India campaign on September 25,
2014. The date of the launch was chosen to be of maximum advantage. Coming right after the
successful insertion of Mangalyaan - a wholly indigenously built low-cost probe into the
Martian orbit - the event highlighted India's success in manufacturing, science and technology,
and all this at inexpensive costs. It also came just a day ahead of the Prime Minister's maiden
US visit. Calculated to enhance India's attractiveness as an investment destination, the launch
ceremony was held at the Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi. The hall thronged with attendees, a
number of whom did not even find seats. Leading entrepreneurs and the CEOs of about 3000
companies from across 30 countries were invited to attend the launch
PAGE 4 :INITIATIVES
The initiative is built on four pillars which are as follows:
New Processes: The government is introducing several reforms to create possibilities for
getting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and foster business partnerships. Some initiatives have
already been undertaken to alleviate the business environment from outdated policies and
regulations. This reform is also aligned with parameters of World Bank's 'Ease of Doing
Business' index to improve India's ranking on it.
New Infrastructure: Infrastructure is integral to the growth of any industry. The government
intends to develop industrial corridors and build smart cities with state-of-the-art technology
and high-speed communication. Innovation and research activities are supported by a fast-
paced registration system and improved infrastructure for Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
registrations. Along with the development of infrastructure, the training for the skilled
workforce for the sectors is also being addressed.
New Sectors: ‘Make in India’ has identified 25 sectors to promote with the detailed
information being shared through an interactive web-portal.1 The Government has allowed
100% FDI in Railway2and removed restrictions in Construction. It has also recently increased
the cap of FDI to 100% in Defense and Pharmaceutical.
New Mindset: Government in India has always been seen as a regulator and not a facilitator.
This initiative intends to change this by bringing a paradigm shift in the way Government
interacts with various industries. It will focus on acting as a partner in the economic
development of the country alongside the corporate sector.
Within the short span of time, there are many instances of the initiative’s success. In
December 2015, Micromax announced that it would put up three new manufacturing units
in Rajasthan, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Japan announced it would set up a USD 12
billion fund for Make in India-related projects, called the “Japan-India Make-in-India Special
Finance Facility” after the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to the country. Huawei
opened a new Research and Development (R&D) campus in Bengaluru and is in the process
of setting up a telecom hardware manufacturing plant in Chennai. France-based LH Aviation
signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with OIS Advanced Technologies to set up a
manufacturing facility in India for producing drones. Foxconn announced it would invest
USD 5 billion over five years for R&D and creating a hi-tech semiconductor manufacturing
facility in Maharashtra. Samsung said it would manufacture the Samsung Z1 in its plant in
Noida while General Motors declared that it would invest USD 1 billion to begin producing
automobiles in the capital state.6And this is only the tip of the iceberg as there are many
more proposals in the pipeline.
“Come make in India. Sell anywhere, [but] make in India.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi
said while introducing his vision to the public. And it seems that the world is more than
ready to embrace this vision, which is already set on a path to become a reality.
PAGE 5 PLAN
To start a movement, you need a strategy that inspires, empowers and enables in equal
measure. Make in India needed a different kind of campaign: instead of the typical statistics-
laden newspaper advertisements, this exercise required messaging that was informative, well-
packaged and most importantly, credible. It had to (a) inspire confidence in India’s capabilities
amongst potential partners abroad, the Indian business community and citizens at large; (b)
provide a framework for a vast amount of technical information on 25 industry sectors; and (c)
reach out to a vast local and global audience via social media and constantly keep them
updated about opportunities, reforms, etc.
The Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP) worked with a group of highly
specialised agencies to build brand new infrastructure, including a dedicated help desk and a
mobile-first website that packed a wide array of information into a simple, sleek menu.
Designed primarily for mobile screens, the site’s architecture ensured that exhaustive levels of
detail are neatly tucked away so as not to overwhelm the user. 25 sector brochures were also
developed: Contents included key facts and figures, policies and initiatives and sector-specific
contact details, all of which was made available in print and on site.
The logo for the Make In India campaign is a an elegant lion, inspired by the Ashoka Chakra
and designed to represent India's success in all spheres.The campaign was dedicated by the
Prime Minister to the eminent patriot, philosopher and political personality, Pandit Deen Dayal
Upadhyaya who had been born on the same date in 1916.
Law Minister Mr. Ravishankar Prasad and Commerce Minister Ms. Nirmala Sitharaman were
part of the occasion. Apart from them, a number of corporate head honchos with deep roots
in the country also spoke at the occasion. These include - Mr. Cyrus Mistry (Chairman, Tata
Sons), Mr. Kenichi Ayukawa (MD and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India), Mr. Mukesh Ambani
(Chairman & Managing Director, Reliance Industries), Mr. Azim Premji (Chairman, Wipro
Limited), Mr. KM Birla Chairman, Aditya Birla Group), Ms. Chanda Kochchar (MD & CEO, ICICI
Bank), Mr. Phil Shaw (CEO, Lockheed Martin), and Mr. YC Deveshwar (Chairman, ITC).
Sectors in focus
For the Make in India campaign, the government of India has identified 25 priority sectors that
shall be promoted adequately. These are the sectors where likelihood of FDI (foreign direct
investment) is the highest and investment shall be promoted by the government of India.On
the campaign launch, the Prime Minister Mr. Modi said that the development of these sectors
would ensure that the world shall readily come to Asia, particularly to India where the
availability of both democratic conditions and manufacturing superiority made it the best
destinations, especially when combined with the effective governance intended by his
administration.
India is a country rich in natural resources. Labour is aplenty and skilled labour is easily
available given the high rates of unemployment among the educated class of the country.
With Asia developing as the outsourcing hub of the world, India is soon becoming the
preferred manufacturing destination of most investors across the globe. Mae in India is the
Indian government's effort to harness this demand and boost the Indian economy.
India ranks low on the "ease of doing business index". Labour laws in the country are still not
conducive to the Make in India campaign. This is one of the universally noted disadvantages of
manufacturing and investing in India.

My opinion
last 3 yearsprime minister narendra modi launched many campaigns but the most
talks about and influential is Make in India
His very ambitious campaign has gain wide appreciation across the globe . we
Indians are quite familiar with the term made in India but make in India is a
different term
Till now we were not involved much in manufacturing and hence we import a lot
and export less . that means there was a lot of money going out of the country and
through make in India we will become manufacturing hub and then we will
produce and sell to the rest of the country and the money that money in .Thus
make in india scheme is very much benefical for our countries growth in foreign
context.
