In order to make the Make in India programme successful, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley reiterated that the country will have to become a low-cost manufacturing hub and also stated that there are several global factors which are beneficial for India. He stressed on making the most of the favorable low commodity prices. He further stated that to cut costs, both at micro and larger levels, there are a lot of improvement and changes required in any system.
Jaitley said that the world has never seen this kind of low price regime and India as a net buyer benefits from this low price regime. He added that India need to make use of this global situation. Speaking about the service sector, Jaitley asserted that India unquestionably has the potential to become a low-cost service provider in the world.
Highlighting the importance of cost in global market, he said everyone wants best goods and services at the cheapest rate and factors such as poor infrastructure, capital and lack of proper trade facilitation add to the cost of goods and services. Citing the example of China that the cost of wages is going up, Jaitley said that hence India is back in competition and lower commodity and oil prices are also acting as tailwinds.
