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.

There is no doubting the Indian prowess/capability to adapt to new technologies and processes.MSMEs are the biggest income and job creators. Both Make in India and Ease of Doing Business are brilliant initiatives.Pain points however are: 1. Good,State Industrial policies,very poor implementation. 2. Industrial Estate Infrastructure is deplorable. 3. Pollutant and Garbage disposal in Industrial Areas also not catered for. 4. No Provision for housing of migrant workers in Ind Estates.

1. Encouraging garbage disposal & recycle business. 2. Making it compulsory to use sea water for mineral water plants instead of ground water with some incentives. 3.Decreasing the tax on made in India electronics especially solar panels and batteries. 4.Decreasing all the taxes on electric vehicles. 5. Reducing transport costs by decreasing taxes on diesel fuel. 6. Increased social safety & security to avoid extortions & improve ease of doing business.

Modiji Sir please do not destroy the beauty of Udaypur and other Rajasthan cities by making national highways because after building the highway builders will start cutting the forest and making the multistory buildings like Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad, NH 24 if we want to save the land please stop the concept of Smart City, use existing structure and make maximum 3-4 story house on same architecture so that builders do not destroy the nature beauty

ISRO - does your spacecentre have software to replicate the launch off a rocket? The analysis and feedback about the recent launch, was that the heat shields didn't open up,due to the rocket carrying extra weight. It would be good to invest, or upgrade the existing rocket model simulation software-where anyone can enter weight and some parameters-to get a final output. By continously updating this software, as the missions increase, one will have a very strong easy App that kidscanuse.

We need to address why we cannot produce Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Steve jobs? Would Satya Nadella or Sundar Pichai thrive in Indian context. Fledgling business must be nurtured, Big business must protected, Government will ultimately get good yearly yields. Implementation of policy and national character building are related. All policies yield great result by appropriate implementation.

Indian websites for material and product search like India mart etc are not as competitive as Alibaba the Chinese counterpart. Advanced materials and raw materials like crabon fiber, glass fiber, titanium are difficult to obtain locally and need to be imported from China. We need to boost these materials so that Indian made products are globally competitive. Material testing labs and equipment testing labs need to be encouraged so that we can provide better testing data to clients
