    • Low Productivity from the manufacturing units than expected.
    • Investment from shell companies
    • Complicated Labour laws which are needed to be simplified.
    • Infrastructure which is yet to be developed in many cities.

    • Steps taken by the government in rules and regulations are not sufficient
    • Although the government has taken steps to revive the FDI norms to make India favourable for FDI.
    • Competition has given by different countries around the globe especially South Asian countries.
    • Way too much reliability on foreign investments and capitals.
    • Ambitious goals are way too much for the existing setup of the manufacturing sector in the country.
    • Make in India is dealing with a lot of (too many) sectors at once.

    Make in India 2021: Outcomes/ Achievements

    Despite having a lot of challenges Make in India has some very positive outcomes as well. Some of these outcomes are as follows.

    • Foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country has increased from $16 billion in 2013-14 to $36 billion in 2015-16.
    • Foreign direct investment in the service sector is increased to $23.5 billion.

    • Many foreign companies have invested in India. Currently, many manufacturing plants are being set up in India especially from the manufacturers of electrical equipment.
    • Global exports of India are gradually increasing which is a very positive sign.
    • The global presence and publicity campaign of Make in India have worked quite well.

    Make in India 2021: Success or Failure?

    Well, there can be a very long debate regarding whether Make in India is a success or a failed scheme. However, we can let you know about the few facts that you should know.

    • The scheme is failed to increase the manufacturing sector’s contribution to GDP to 25%. This target is now postponed to 2025.
    • The investments by foreign players through FDI are not as expected at the time of the launch of the scheme.
    • Even though many jobs are being created due to ambitious make in India projects. Still, they are not game-changers as it was expected.
    • The global export of India is around 2% which is far less than the competitor China which is around 18%.

    Make in India 2021: What needs to be done?

    As you can see there are many targets that are not meet by the Make in India. Here, are some suggestive measures that the government can follow to fix the drawbacks in the Make in India scheme.

    • Stop investments from shell companies.
    • We have curb down the black money being invested through Shell companies. Indian tax authorities need to be more vigilant regarding the same.
    • Increase productivity via skill development and other training programmes.
    • Simplification of labour laws is the need of the hour. Complicated labour laws are forcing plants to have only 100 employees.
    • Reduce power outages in plants. We should note that to attract the investors we have to provide the electricity with fewer outages and less cost.
    • It is also important for us to improve our infrastructure like transportation facilities, etc. in order to compete with countries like china.
    • Reduce red-tapism and corruption.
