Make in India
In progress (Extended)Launched September 2014 · Economy
Turn India into a global manufacturing hub: design, make, and export from India; attract FDI, build domestic capability, create jobs, reduce import dependence.
What was promised
- Manufacturing from about 16% of GDP (2014) to 25% by 2022, later extended to 2025.
- Manufacturing growth of 12–14% a year, and 100 million additional manufacturing jobs by 2022.
The honest story is sectoral wins (electronics, defence, pharma, auto) despite the overall target still being ahead; the 100-million-jobs target is a long way off by most credible estimates.
