OVERVIEW
REQUEST FOR ACCESS FORM BELOW
India has set a national goal to increase the share of engineering and manufacturing in its GDP to 25% from the current 16% over the next decade. In support of this initiative, the new Indian Government has launched the 'Make in India' campaign, which aims to transform India into a global manufacturing export hub. The key focus of PM Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' campaign is to bring efficiency into the system by focusing on Public-Private partnerships, harnessing the potential of Democracy, Demography, and Demand and to provide infrastructure for ease of doing business.
The campaign seeks to increase foreign as well as domestic investments in manufacturing across 25 sectors including Energy, Aviation, Defense, Automotive, Textile, Railway, Biotechnology, Electronics, Food Processing, Chemicals and more.
Bilateral Benefit: Special Economic Zones & Make in India
To provide incentives to the manufacturing industry, Special Economic Zones (SEZs) will play a key role in India’s economic and industrial growth in the near future. SEZs are geographical regions designed for the manufacturing industry to produce goods for export or domestic use. SEZs provide employment opportunities which are exempt from certain federal laws regarding taxes, quotas, FDI-bans and restrictive labor laws in order to produce goods at a competitive price. SEZs in India provide a number of investment incentives to foreign investors which will be valuable for foreign manufacturers and beneficial to the local manufacturing industry.
This free webinar is aimed at providing information to the participants about the key opportunities in the Energy, Chemicals, and Pulp & Paper Sectors that the Indian market offers to your company under the “Make in India” initiative.
