07 May 2020 Evaluate

With an aim to convert India into a global manufacturing and exporting hub, Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has said the government is working on a package of structural reforms across sunrise sectors. He listed healthcare, education, mobility, genomics, AI, 5G network, fintech and manufacturing as high priority areas for rapid and radical structural reforms. 

He further said that manufacturing would be a key focus area for the government in the post-COVID-19 period, as India wants to take advantage of the supply chain disruptions in China. He said the government has contacted about 1,450 companies across the world for manufacturing in India, and adding that facilities need to be created for global manufacturers to invest quickly and move forward.   

He pointed out that the plan includes creating 2-3 autonomous zones without regular labour and land laws and stressed that India also needs to make its ports more efficient.  Besides, to promote manufacturing, he suggested that the states should fix electricity and land rates which would not escalate for the next 25 years. He also suggested that for the next three years, every single tender of the government must be given only to Indian companies.
