Hello friends, inherently, low manufacturing has always been our problem. But today it has become
a serious problem. It is believed that the manufacturing growth can help us to a great extent in
stopping the poverty and unemployment which are increasing day by day in our country. As the
whole world has become a global supply chain and a China become a manufacturing base, therefore,
it has become a necessity to promote local manufacturing after covid19 outbreak.
Many countries are looking to relocate their Business from China. Which has given India an
opportunity to increase its manufacturing and to get rid of many of its problems. But this is not going
to be easy because India is not alone in this race. And many countries want to take the advantage of
the opportunity to promote investment in their country and want to increase their growth. If India
wants to take advantage of the opportunity then it will have to take many such small steps, which
succeed India in this task.
It has often been seen that business has to face a lot of problems in India regarding land, labour and
regulations. If there are some fundamental improvements in land labour and regulation, this journey
can be quite easy.
Land - Most governments acquire land after the Memorandum of Understanding, which causes a lot
of business risk. It will help a lot if land pools are made and manufacturing areas are made once in
advance.
India is a country of young people in which a large number of youth live, about 70% people are
young. But the problem is that they are not skilled. The workers here are cheap and unorganized. If
we can organize and skilled the labourers then no one can stop the success of Make in India.
It is not that our rules are very strict. But our rules waste a lot of time which make business non
competitive. We have to move our policy from business regulation to business facilitation.
Along with this, there are some other small & big steps which are very important for Make in India.
Such as single tax GST, dedicated road & rail network, logistics, warehousing, quick & Smooth port
operations. It is often seen that the policy is changed as soon as the government changes, which is
not acceptable to the manufacturer. Along with this, retrospective taxation is also a big issue which
troubles investor.
We have to make some reforms in our justice system too. So that we can judicate the cases of
international arbitration quickly and smoothly.
We often charge higher import duty to protect our domestic market. Because of which we have
never been able to become a stakeholder in global supply chain. So we should give some thought to removing our concern and also cutting into excise duty. That we become intermediary in the global
supply chain.
We ourselves are very much dependent on China in energy, consumer durable, automobile &
pharmaceutical sector. So increasing domestic manufacturing has become our need.
Thank you
