The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry initiated the process of formulation of a new Industrial Policy in May 2017. Since the last Industrial Policy announced in 1991, India has transformed into one of the fastest growing economies in the world. With strong macro-economic fundamentals and several path breaking reforms in the last three years, India is equipped to deploy a different set of ideas and strategies to build a globally competitive Indian industry. The new Industrial Policy will subsume the National Manufacturing Policy.

A consultative approach has been taken for industrial policy formulation wherein six thematic focus groups and an online survey on DIPP website have been used to obtain inputs. Focus groups, with members from government departments, industry associations, academia, and think tanks have been setup to delve deep into challenges faced by the industry in specific areas. The six thematic areas include Manufacturing and MSME; Technology and Innovation; Ease of Doing Business; Infrastructure, Investment, Trade and Fiscal policy; and Skills and employability for the future. A Task Force on Artificial Intelligence for India’s Economic Transformation has also been constituted which will provide inputs for the policy.

It is proposed that the new Industrial Policy will aim at making India a manufacturing hub by promoting ‘Make in India’. It will also suitably incorporate the use of modern smart technologies such as IOT, artificial intelligence and robotics for advanced manufacturing.

Hon’ble Minister of State(i/c) for Commerce & Industry Smt Nirmala Sitharaman will hold consultations with stakeholders, including industry captains, think tanks and State governments in Chennai, Guwahati and Mumbai. The Industrial Policy is likely to be announced in October 2017.

DIPP invites comments, feedback, suggestions from the public regarding framing of the new Policy.

The last date of submission of suggestions is 25th September, 2017.

Formulating a new concept is a challenge for everyone but with the essential steps we can actually move towards a better future. We need to get rid of paperwork for cutting the costs of Government Organizations. Whatever the final report may be, should be consolidated and put forward only on One Single Paper. Reducing usage of papers is the top most priority for this country to develop.

Respected minister,India has to maintain good labor standards.Industries should not grow in India only because of poor labor standards.If India maintains good labor standards like assured employee health insurance etc., that will create opportunities in many other sectors also.It will create strong domestic market & employment opportunities.Moreover we can avoid many unnecessary issues.Good labor standards is not an obstacle.It's a need for the whole nation!!

1. Help people to get funding, capitals and loans as easy as possible. Many people stop here as an obstacle. 2. Government needs to support everyone to start an manufacturing company and let them reach that goal by providing information on everything related to starting up, mentoring and R&D facility via incubators 3. Making loans for establishing industries should be made easy by removing hurdles in documentation. 4. Open participation of startups in government tenders for better chances.

We need an industrial policy, that would allow a man on the street to order a custom design in every product imaginable via a mobile application(even1item), Company reply with quote. Basically, it's just the food apps expanding. That's how simple business should be. If you an SME, Feedback can be handled via the app interface. Time to market would be decreased as a person would have direct access to the policy makers. If you a citizen, then you can have the help desks assistance.

Madam, Suggestions on new Industrial Policy. 1.Now all Manufacturers are centralising Servicing of their products. This should be discouraged by policy favouring Diffused service network to provide Product servicing opportunity.

We are an MSME,import nothing,export everything. We struggle everyday, against odds and corruption at all levels. Access to Government officials is very cumbersome and painful. Getting a response or reply is next to impossible.If we were to spend this time doing productive work,our output would double. Single window and Ease of doing business is only on paper.It is obvious the execution machinery is flawed.Request remodel the way bureaucracy works and make them more answerable and accountable.

I need a 3D printing facility on every street corner. This would encourage school children,hobbyist,common people to manufacture and be creative with solutions. The other day I was looking for my lost headphone earplug, I thought off using a 3D printer to print a replacement.. But I couldn't...no facilities, no tools.Rather buy a new one from China and create more waste. At the moment,i can't really think of more ideas,my brain has been conditioned to consume,not innovative and create
