Government Identifies 100 Products to Boost Domestic Manufacturing and Launches Brand Scheme

The Indian government, through the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), is collaborating with industry to identify around 100 products, including auto sector items like axles and motorcycle components, that are either not produced or inadequately manufactured domestically. This initiative aims to enhance manufacturing for both domestic and global markets by addressing technological gaps. DPIIT also plans to launch a 'Made in India Brand Scheme' to certify quality and value addition, with sectors to be finalized after industry consultation. Additionally, the impact of artificial intelligence on manufacturing productivity and innovation was highlighted.
