The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is spearheading efforts across 24 sub-sectors, including furniture, aluminium, agrochemicals, and textiles, to fortify domestic manufacturing, elevate exports, and curtail imports, as per an official statement.
“Make in India has achieved significant milestones,” the commerce and industry ministry conveyed, noting its shift towards ‘Make in India 2.0’, now focusing on 27 sectors.
DPIIT is orchestrating action plans for 15 manufacturing sectors, while the Department of Commerce oversees 12 service sectors, the ministry announced.
“DPIIT’s alignment with these 24 sub-sectors reflects India’s industrial strengths and competitive advantages,” the ministry highlighted. These sectors were chosen based on criteria such as import substitution, export potential, and enhanced job opportunities.
The outlined sub-sectors encompass a wide range: furniture, air-conditioners, agri produce, electronics, textiles, and more, as the ministry detailed.
“Efforts are underway to holistically boost growth within these sub-sectors,” the ministry affirmed, emphasizing a coordinated approach.
Investment promotion spans ministries, state governments, and Indian missions abroad. “Invest India actively facilitates investor identification and support,” the ministry stated, outlining the comprehensive investment outreach initiatives.
