Prime Minister Narendra Modi today commemorated the 11th anniversary of the Make in India initiative, highlighting its transformative impact on India’s economy and entrepreneurial ecosystem. Taking to X, the Prime Minister responded to a post by MyGovIndia, emphasising the initiative’s role in driving growth and fostering self-reliance.
“Eleven years ago today, the Make in India initiative was launched with a vision to add momentum to India’s growth and tap into our nation’s entrepreneurial potential,” PM Modi wrote. He noted that the initiative has significantly contributed to enhancing India’s economic strength and laying the foundation for Aatmanirbharta (self-reliance). “It is gladdening to see how #11YearsOfMakeInIndia has encouraged innovation and job creation across sectors,” he added.
PM Modi further stated, “Make in India has given an impetus to India’s entrepreneurs, thus creating a global impact.”
The hashtag #11YearsOfMakeInIndia trended on social media as supporters and stakeholders reflected on the initiative’s achievements over the past decade.
Launched in 2014, Make in India was designed to transform India into a global manufacturing hub by encouraging domestic and foreign investment, fostering innovation, and building best-in-class infrastructure. Over the years, the initiative has attracted significant FDI inflows—over $500 billion since its launch—while promoting industrial growth in key sectors such as electronics, automobiles, defence, and renewable energy.
The Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes introduced under the initiative have further bolstered manufacturing output, particularly in mobile phones, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals. India has also climbed in global indices, such as the Ease of Doing Business and Innovation rankings, showcasing its growing appeal as a manufacturing destination.
