India Identifies 100 Products to Boost Manufacturing and Launches 'Made in India' Brand

The Indian government is working with industry to identify about 100 products, including auto sector items like axles and motorcycle components, that are either not produced or inadequately manufactured domestically. This initiative aims to boost manufacturing for both domestic and global markets by addressing technology gaps. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) plans to launch a 'Made in India' branding scheme, piloted successfully in the steel sector, to signify value addition and assure quality. Discussions with industry stakeholders will finalize sectors for rollout, aligning industrial and trade policies to reduce import dependence and enhance economic growth.
