For promoting industrialization in the

remote, hilly and inaccessible areas, Central
Government has formulated and notified
North East Industrial and Investment
Promotion Policy (NEIIPP), 2007, for the
eight states of North East Region and
Transport Subsidy Scheme, 1971, which in
addition to the eight states of North East
region also covers Himachal Pradesh,
Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Darjeeling
district of West Bengal, Andaman & Nicobar
Administration and Lakshadweep
Administration. Benefits/incentives
available under different schemes of North
East Industrial and Investment Promotion
Policy (NEIIPP), 2007, include Capital
Investment Subsidy, Interest Subsidy,
Reimbursement of Insurance, 100% Income
Tax Exemption and Excise Duty Exemption
based on value addition norms specified by
the Department of Revenue, Ministry of
Finance.
Transport subsidy, ranging from 50% to
New Industrial policy and other concessions

for the States of Himachal Pradesh and
Uttarakhand were introduced by the
Promotion on 7th January, 2003, with an aim
to provide required incentives as well as an
enabling environment for industrial
development, improve availability of capital
and increase market access to provide a fillip
to the private investment in the state. The
scheme which was originally valid till 6th
Jan., 2013, has been extended upto 31st
March, 2017.

Monitoring of Industrial Activity,

Production and Prices
DIPP monitors the performance in the
industrial sector through collating
information on Industrial Entrepreneurs
Memorandum (IEM), Industrial License,
Letter of Intent (LOI), Foreign Investment
14
data and industrial production returns. The

Department also compiles and prepares
index of production of 8 core infrastructure
industries on a monthly basis. Besides, the
Department publishes the monthly
Wholesale Price Index (WPI) which forms
the basis for official information on inflation.
CHAPTER
Evolution and Development

of Industrial Policy
General Industrial Policy

The Industrial Policy Resolution of 1948,
delineated the role of the State in industrial
development both as an entrepreneur and
an authority. This was followed by
comprehensive enactment of Industries
(Development & Regulation) Act, 1951, that
provides for the necessary framework for
implementing the Industrial Policy and
enables the Union Government to direct
investment into desired channels of
industrial activity inter alia through the
mechanism of licensing in keeping with the
national development objectives and goals.
The main objectives of the Industrial Policy
are (i) to maintain a sustained growth in
productivity;(ii) to enhance gainful
employment;(iii) to achieve optimal
utilisation of human resources; (iv) to attain
international competitiveness; and (v) to
transform India into a major partner and
player in the global arena. To achieve, these
objectives, the Policy focus is on (i) deregulating the Indian industry (ii) allowing
freedom and flexibility to the industry in
responding to market forces (iii) providing a
policy regime that facilitates and fosters
growth. The following measures have been
taken up by the Government in this
direction:
(i)
Liberalization of Compulsory
Industrial Licensing Policy
The list of items covered under compulsory

licensing under the Industries (Development
& Regulation) Act, 1951, is reviewed on an
ongoing basis.
At present only five industries related to
security, strategic and environmental
concerns where an Industrial License (IL) is
currently required:
i)
Distillation & brewing of alcoholic

drinks;
ii)
Cigars and cigarettes of tobacco and

manufactured tobacco substitutes;
iii)
Electronic, aerospace and defence

equipment;
iv)
Industrial explosives including

detonating fuses, safety fuses,
gunpowder, nitrocellulose and
matches;
v)
Specified hazardous chemicals, i.e. (a)

Hydrocyanic Acid and its derivatives,
(b) Phosgene and its derivatives and (
c) Isocyanats and disocyanates of
hydrocarbon, not elsewhere specified
(example methyl lsocyanate).
During 2014-15, while electronic, aerospace

and defence equipment continued to attract
15
industrial licensing, in order to give a boost

to defence manufacture, a number of
procedural simplifications and clarifications
in the process of industrial licensing with
respect to deference manufacturing have
been effected during the year.
c.
Partial commencement of production

is treated as commencement of
production of all the items included in
the license.
d.
Vide Press Note 4(2014), the

advanced version of NIC Code (NIC
2008) has been adopted, which is a
highly contemporary industrial
classification.
e.
Vide Press Note 6(2014), the

Security Manual for Licensed
Defence Industry has been issued.
With the issue of the Security Manual,
the requirement of affidavit from the
applicants has been done away with.
f.
The process for issue of Industrial

License for manufacture of
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for
Defence use by private companies in
India has been simplified after the
matter related to frequency band of
UAVs was cleared by Department of
Telecommunications.
g.
The Restriction of annual capacity in

the Industrial License for Defence
Sector has done away with.
h.
The Licensee has been allowed to sell

the defence items to the Government
entities under the control of Ministry
of Home Affairs, Public Sector
Undertakings, State Governments
and Other Defence Licensee
companies without requirement of
approval of the Department of
Defence Production.
These are enumerated below:

a.
b.
16
Vide Press Note 3(2014), a list for

what constitutes Defence equipment
requiring industrial licensing has
been issued, wherein a large number
of parts/components, castings/
forgings etc. have been excluded from
the purview of industrial licensing.
Industrial License will henceforth be
required only for the manufacture of
those Defence items which have been
specifically mentioned in the 3rd
column of the Annexure to the Press
Note 3 (2014). Dual use items, having
military as well as civilian
applications (unless classified as
defence item) will not require
Industrial License from defence
angle.
Guidelines have been issued vide
Press Note 5 (2014) and Press Note
No 9 (2014), to streamline the
processing of applications for grant of
extension of validity of Industrial
License. Two extensions of two years
each in the initial validity period of
three years of the Industrial License
up to seven years is allowed as against
five years earlier.

(II) Liberalisation of Public Sector

Reservation
Till recently, two industries namely (i)
Atomic Energy (Production, separation or
enrichment of special fissionable materials
and substances and operation of the
facilities) and (ii) Railway transport were
reserved for the public sector.
During 2014-15, vide Gazette Notification
No SO 2113( E) dated 22nd February, 2014,
construction, operation and maintenance of
identified ten items in the purview of
Railway transport have been exempted
from reservation for the public sector, and
private investment has been allowed.
Accordingly, the two industries that are
reserved for the public sector at present are
as follows:
(a)
Atomic Energy (Production,

separation or enrichment of special
fissionable materials and substances
and operation of the facilities) and ,
(b)
Railway Operations other than

construction, operation and
maintenance of the following:
(i) Suburban corridor projects
through Public Private
Partnership;
(ii) High speed train projects;
(iii) Dedicated freight lines;
(iv) Rolling stock including train sets,
and locomotives/ coaches
manufacturing and maintenance
facilities;
(v)
Railway Electrification;
(vi)
Signaling systems;
(vii)
Freight terminals;
(viii)
Passenger terminals;
(ix) Infrastructure in industrial park

pertaining to railway line/sidings
including electrified railway lines
and connectivities to main
railway line; and
(x) Mass Rapid Transport Systems.
Government of India announced a National
Manufacturing Policy (NMP) in the year
2011 with the objective of enhancing the
share of manufacturing in GDP to 25% and
creating 100 million jobs over a decade or so.
The policy also seeks to empower rural
youth by imparting necessary skill sets to
make them employable. Sustainable
development is integral to the spirit of the
policy and technological value addition in
manufacturing has received special
attention.
The policy is based on the principle of
industrial growth in partnership with the
States and is generally sector-neutral,
location-neutral and technology-neutral
except for incentivisation of green
technology. The thrust of NMP is on the
Central government creating an enabling
policy frame work, providing for incentives
for infrastructure development on a Public
encouraging the State Governments to adopt
the instrumentalities provided in the policy.
17
NMP provides that the National Investment

and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZ) as well as
the other Industrial Clusters willing to adopt
the parameters laid down in the Policy can
benefit from the investment friendly
provisions of NMP, and the initiative needs to
come from the State Governments. With the
in-principle approval to Kalinganagar, Jajpur
district in Odisha given in 2014-15, so far, 17
NIMZ (including 8 Investment Zones in the
Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor) have
been given in-principle approval since
announcement of NMP.
Make in India Initiative
In the continuous process of evolution of
Industrial Policy to boost manufacturing, the
Make in India global initiative was launched
on 25th September, 2014, to invite both
domestic and foreign investors to invest in
India. The initiative was simultaneously
launched in all state capitals and in several
Indian Embassies/High Commissions where
time-zones permitted. A few other Indian
Embassies have also organized Make in
India interactions after the launch.
The Make in India initiative is based
on four pillars, identified to boost
entrepreneurship in India, not only in
manufacturing but also other sectors. These
are:
(i)
New Processes
(ii)
New Infrastructure
(iii) New Sectors

(iv) New Mindset
18
An Investor Facilitation Cell has been created

in Invest India ( a partnership venture of
DIPP and FICCI), to assist, guide
and handhold investors during the
various phases of business life cycle, with
back end support up to the State level.
Information on 25 thrust sectors has been
put up on Make in Indias web portal
(http://www.makeinindia.com) along with
details of FDI Policy, National Manufacturing
Policy, Intellectual Property Rights and Delhi
Mumbai Industrial Corridor and other
National Industrial Corridors. A National
Workshop with the Industry, States and all
Sectoral Central Ministries to draw up a Plan
of Action in the short and medium term for
creating an enabling framework for
stimulating investments in manufacturing
was held on 29th December, 2014.
Policy for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
For inviting investment for industrial growth
to contribute to higher GDP, an appropriate
FDI Policy is crucial. The Department of
Industrial Policy & Promotion is the nodal
Department for formulation of the policy of
the Government on FDI. It is also responsible
for maintenance and management of data on
inward FDI into India, based upon the
remittances reported by the Reserve Bank of
India.
The FDI policy is reviewed on an ongoing
basis, with a view to making it more investorfriendly, in keeping with national interest.
With a view to attracting higher levels of FDI,
Government has put in place a liberal policy
on FDI, under which FDI up to 100%, is

permitted, under the automatic route, in

most sectors/ activities. Significant changes
have been made in the FDI policy regime in
recent times, to ensure that India remains an
i n c re a s i n gly a t t ra c t ive i nve s t m e n t
destination. The Department plays an active
role in the liberalization and rationalization
of the FDI policy. Towards this end, it has
been constructively engaged in holding
extensive stakeholder consultations on
various aspects of the FDI policy.
During 2014-15, FDI in Defence Industry has
been permitted through the Government
route up to 49%. Also, higher FDI can be
allowed on case to case basis. Further, FDI in
construction, operation and maintenance of
identified railway transport infrastructure
up to 100% has been permitted through the
automatic route. In sensitive areas, from
security point of view, FDI beyond 49%
would be allowed on a case to case basis. The
norms for FDI in Construction Development
Projects (which already permitted 100%
FDI through automatic route) have been
further liberalised. The Government has
permitted FDI up to 100% under the
automatic route both for green field and
brown field projects for manufacturing of
defined medical devices, which would
not attract sectoral conditions for
pharmaceutical industry.
Industrial Management and Industrial
Production
It has been the continuous endeavor of the
Department of Industrial Policy and
Promotion to make its functioning and

industry friendly.
(a)
Industrial Entrepreneur Memorandum (IEM)

The Industrial undertakings which are
n o t m e d i u m , s m a l l o r m i c ro
enterprises (MSME), [defined at
present as those with an investment
above Rs 10 crore in plant and
machinery for manufacturing sector
and more than Rs 5 crore for service
sector], and which intend to set up
industries that do not attract
industrial license are required to file
an Industrial Entrepreneur
Memorandum (IEM) Part A with the
Secretariat for Industrial Assistance.
Immediately after commencement of
commercial production, Part B of the
IEM is required to be filed.
Filing an IEM is primarily for the
purpose of collecting data about the
de-licensed sector on proposed
investment, and type of industrial
activity. It is also useful for the
purpose of conducting a limited
scrutiny mainly to preclude
manufacturing of a compulsory
licensable/small scale reserved item
by IEM route.
From 1991-2014, a total of 95094 IEM
(Part A) with proposed investment of
Rs. 10526772 crore are on record.
State-wise and sector-wise lists of
IEMs filed during the last five years on
19
a year-wise basis are at Appendices

III and IV.
Since 1991 till December 2014, a total
of 10973 units have formally
intimated commencement of
commercial production (Part B). The
investment reported in respect of
these IEMs is Rs. 569243 crore. The
State-wise report of implementation
of IEMs for the last five years is at
Appendix-V.
(b)
Industrial Investment Intentions

(IEM, LOI and DIL):
Information on Industrial Investment
Intentions for the non-MSME are
maintained through IEM for the delicensed sector and Letters of Intent
(LOI) and Direct Industrial Licenses
(DIL) for the licensable sector. Statewise and Sector-wise details of
Industrial Investment Intentions
during last two Plan periods are given
at Appendices VI & VII
respectively.
The information on Industrial
Investment, information on IEMs
filed on daily basis etc are disseminated through the Department website
for the information of the investors
which leads to transparency and
accountability of the functioning.
(c )
Online filing of IL and IEM

applications
The process of applying for Industrial
License (IL) and Industrial
20
Entrepreneur Memorandum (IEM)

has been made online with effect from
May 2014 and this service is now
available to entrepreneurs on 24X7
basis at the e-Biz website, without
human interface.
(d)
Industrial Production
The Index of Industrial Production
(IIP) brought out by the Central
Statistics Office measures industrial
performance in manufacturing,
mining and electricity sectors and also
classify the IIP in use-based group
such as basic goods, capital goods,
intermediate goods and consumer
goods. DIPP is the most important
single Source Agency for the IIP, and
provides inputs for 45.6% of the
weight of IIP. DIPP monitors the
industrial performance as reflected in
the IIP and regularly sensitizes
different Departments and Ministries
about downward trends for the
manufactured items for which
those Sectoral Departments and
Ministries are administratively
responsible for interventions as
considered appropriate by them.
The growth of IIP has been fluctuating
over the last few years. The growth in
overall IIP, peaked at 15.5 % in 200708 (manufacturing growth rate was
18.4%) but declined to 2.5 % in 200809, however, it recovered to 5.3 % in
2009-10 and thereafter improved to

8.2 % in 2010-11. Subsequently, the

industrial growth decelerated to 2.9
% in 2011-12 and 1.1 % in 2012-13
and the industrial production again
moderated recording a negative

growth of (-) 0.1 % in 2013-14. The
details are given below in Table-2.1.

The growth in IIP during current financial

year April-December, 2014-15, improved to
2.1% along with improvement in growth of
all its sectors. The low growth
manufacturing sector during current
financial year was primarily due to the steep
fall in production of industry groups like
radio, TV and communication equipment (54.7%), office, accounting & computing
machinery(-37.4%), publishing, printing &
reproduction of recorded media (-5.1%),
medical, precision & optical instruments,
watches and clocks (-2.3%) chemicals and
chemical products (-1.9%) etc. The details
of the growth in the manufacturing
subgroups are given in the Table 2.2.
In use-based classification of IIP, the
production of Capital goods has shrunk
during 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14,
which is also true for Consumer goods in
2013-14. The Consumer goods continued

with its negative growth whereas
performance of Capital goods has improved
during April-December, 2014-15. The
negative growth of Consumer goods during
this period is largely on account of negative
growth in the consumer durable segment.
(Table-2.3).
The Graph-1 below shows that growth in
overall IIP and its three sectors has been
volatile. The volatility appears to have
increased during recent months. During
AprilDecember, 2014-15, volatility in the
sectors persisted as displayed in the monthwise growth trend of IIP. During current
financial year, the highest growth of 5.6
percent was recorded in May, 2014 while the
lowest growth at (-) 4.2 percent recorded in
October, 2014 (Graph 2.1).

Global Perspective:
The UNCTAD World Investment Report
(WIR) 2013, in its analysis of the global
trends in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
inflows, continues to report India as the
third most attractive location for FDI for
2013-2015. The report also mentions
that India accounted for more than four
fifths of the FDI in South Asia in 2012.
The Financial Year 2013 survey of the
Japan Bank for International
Cooperation, conducted among Japanese
investors, continues to rank India as the
second most promising country for
overseas business operations in the
medium term, with Indonesia at the top. For
26
the long-term, India has been rated as the

top investment destination, with China
being rated as the second.
Ernst & Youngs 2014 Attractiveness
survey has mentioned India as the 1st
global destination for FDI, in terms of the
number of FDI projects followed by Brazil
and China. This is due to opening up of FDI in
various sectors, including multi-brand retail
and telecom.
The 2013 A.T. Kearney Confidence Index
rates India fifth in terms of future prospects
for FDI inflows, after USA, China, Brazil,
Canada followed by Australia, Germany, U.K.,
Mexico, Singapore, Russia and France.

Manufacturing Policy (NMP) through a Press
Note dated 4th November, 2011, with the
objective of enhancing the share of
manufacturing in GDP to 25% and creating
100 million jobs over a decade or so. The
policy is based on the principle of industrial
growth in partnership with the States. The
Central government will create the enabling
policy frame work, provide incentives for

Zones (NIMZs)
NIMZs have been conceived as large
integrated industrial townships with stateof-the-art infrastructure; land use on the
basis of zoning; clean and energy efficient
technology; necessary social infrastructure;
skill development facilities, etc., to provide a
conducive environment for manufacturing
industries. To enable the NIMZ to function as
a self governing and autonomous body, it will
be declared as a Industrial Township under
Article 243 Q (1)(c) of the Constitution.
These NIMZ's would be managed by a Special
Purpose Vehicle (SPV), which would ensure
master planning of the zone; pre-clearances
for setting up the industrial units to be
located within the zone and undertake such
other functions as specified in the various
section of the policy.
The NIMZs would be different from SEZs in
terms of size; level of infrastructure
planning; governance structures related to
regulatory procedures; exit policies; fiscal
incentives, etc. The policy mandates that the
SPV in a zone will be headed by a senior
government official and will include interalia an official expert conversant with the
27
work relating to pollution control/

environmental protection. There shall be a
provision of suitable representation of the
allottees and subsequently industrial units.

CHAPTER
Improvement of Business
Environment eBiz Project
Various measures are undertaken for

improving the ease of doing business in the
country through simplification and
rationalization of the existing rules and
introduction of information technology to
make governance more efficient and
effective. eBiz project is one such initiative.
The vision of eBiz is to transform the
business environment in the country by
providing efficient, convenient, transparent
and integrated electronic services to
investors, industries and businesses in the
areas of information on forms & procedures,
licenses, permits, registrations, approvals,
clearances, permissions, reporting, filing,
payments and compliances throughout the
life-cycle of an industry or business entity.
The core theme of eBiz lies in radical shift by
44
Government in its service approach, from

being department-centric to customercentric, in providing services to the business
community.
The following are the Outcomes of the eBiz
Project
A world-class G2B portal that

enhances Indias business
competitiveness through a single,
s e r v i c e - o r i e n t e d , e ve n t - d r ive n
interface for all G2B interactions.
Integrated G2B Services across

Central, State & Local Government &
across all geographies in India.
The above outcomes result in the following

benefits to the investor.
Inauguration of G2B Portal by Finance Minister

.Starting a new business or setting up a new
industrial unit requires multiple licenses
/clearances and related services from
multiple Government agencies across
various levels of government . The
information about these services is
fragmented in multiple acts, rules and
procedures and scattered across multiple
websites.
The mission of eBiz is to provide investors
easy access to relevant information and
services through a number of key features
such as License and Permits Information
Wizard, Composite Application Forms and
Service Orchestration.
License and Permits Information Wizard
eBiz License And Permits Information
wizard is a consolidated repository of all

relevant Licenses, Permits and other
Regulatory information along with their
applicability criteria. The eBiz portal
includes an interview-style Wizard which
poses to the investors a series of questions to
assess the licensing needs of their business.
Based on the answers provided, the wizard
provides a customized list of Licenses/
Clearances that the investor needs to begin
their business operation and a list of
regulatory compliance they need to comply
with as part of operating their business.
Presently, an investor needs to fill multiple
application forms to avail various services
from Government agencies. An analysis of
the forms indicates significant overlap in the
information sought such as the identity of
45
Composite Application Form

the applicant, demographics of the
applicant/business unit etc. eBiz will create
a Composite Application Form combining
the common elements and creating a single
form through which the investor can apply
for multiple services.
Joined Up Service Orchestration

eBiz Joined Up Service combines the
backend workflow of multiple government
departments in such a manner that a single
request from the investor through the
Composite Applicable Form is routed
through multiple Government agencies in a
logical sequence. This includes parallel and
sequential orchestration based on
interdependencies between the services
being requested by the investor.
46
The eBiz project was conceptualized with

support from National Institute of Smart
Government (NISG) as the consulting
partner and developed by M/s. Infosys Ltd.,
Bangalore in a Public Private Partnership
(PPP) Model for a period of 10 years. The
first three years constitute the pilot phase,
and will earmark setting up of the eBiz portal
and provisioning of 50 services covering 9
central government departments and 5
s t a t e s ( A n d h ra P ra d e s h , H a r ya n a ,
Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Delhi). In
addition, 5 more states (Odisha, Rajasthan,
Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal)
have been included during the pilot phase.
The next seven years called expansion phase,
the portal will be run on PPP basis through a
business model approved for the project. In
this phase, the project will be expanded to
cover the whole country and to provide over
200 G2B services and other value added
services by suitable private vendors.
During the period under report,
considerable progress has been made in the
implementation of the project. The eBiz
platform with License & Permit Wizard,
payment gateway with Central Bank of India,
Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Canara Bank
and Punjab National Bank and ePAO solution

for centralized booking and reconciliation of
all Central Government receipts & payments
along with fourteen Central Government
services have been launched besides 12
services of Andhra Pradesh government.
List of these 31 services are given in
table. The portal can be accessed through
www.ebiz.gov.in
During the year, it is planned to integrate
additional 6 Central Government related

services and roll-out the state services in the
remaining pilot states. One joined-up service
w i t h C o m p o s i t e A p p l i c a t i o n Fo r m
comprising of Certificate of Incorporation
service of Ministry of Corporate Affairs and
Issuance of Permanent Account Number

Make in India
The Make in India programe was lanuched

by Prime Minister in September 2014 as part
of a wider set of nation-building initiatives.
Devised to transform India into a global
design and Manufactuing hub. Make in India
was a timely response to a critical situation.
The Manufactluring sector in India had
witnessed a downward frend with growth
rates of 1.1% and -0-7% during 2012-13 and
2013-14 respectively. This global initiative
was launched on 25th September, 2014 to
invite both domestic and foreign investors to
invest in India. The initiative was
simultaneously launched in the Capital of all
states and in several Indian Embassies and
High Commissions where time-zones
permitted. A few other Indian Embassies
have also organized "Make in India"
interactions after the launch.
world class infrastructure with stateof-the-art technology and high-speed

communication. Innovation and
research activities are supported
through fast paced registration system
improved infrastructure for IPR
registration. The requirement of skills
for industry are to be identified and
accordingly development of workforce
to be taken up.
(iii) New Sectors : FDI has been opened up
in Defence Production, Insurance,
Medical Devices, Construction and
Railway infrastructure in a big way.
Similarly FDI has been allowed in
Insurance and Medical Devices.
(iv)
New Mindset : In order to partner

with industry in economic
development of the country
Government shall act as a facilitator
and not a regulator.
The 'Make in India" initiative is based on four

pillars, which have been identified to give
boost to entrepreneurship in India, in not
only the manufacturing but also other
sectors. The four pillars are:
Certain important steps taken to boost

manufacturing include:
(i)
1.
Creation of Investor Facilitation Cell in

'Invest India' to assist, guide and
handhold investors during the various
phases of business life cycle.
2.
Information on 25 sectors has been

put up on 'Make in India's web portal
(http://www.makeinindia.com) along
with details of FDI Policy, National
Manufacturing Policy, Intellectual
Property Rights and Delhi Mumbai
(ii)
New Processes : 'Make in India'

recognizes 'ease of doing business' as
the single most important factor to
promote entrepreneurship. A number
of initiatives have already been
u n d e r t a ke n t o e a s e b u s i n e s s
environment.
New Infrastructure: Government
intends to develop industrial
corridors and smart cities, create
49
Industrial Corridor and other National

Industrial Corridors.
3.
Ordinance has been issued to make

land acquisition simplar for important
projects.
4.
A number of items have been taken off

the licensing requirements from the
Defence products' list. Items of dual
use have also been taken off the
licensing requirement.
5.
The Ministry of Labour and

Employment has developed a unified
Web Portal Shram Suvidha'. This
portal facilitates:
a
Allotment of Unique Labour

Identification Number (UN) to
units;
b.
Filing of single self-certified

online return for 16 labour laws;
c.
Random computerized
inspections based on objective
criteria;
d.
Uploading of insp
Partnerships: The Make in India program

has been built on layers of collaborative
effort. DIPP initiated this process by inviting
participation from Union Ministers,
Secretaries to the Government of India, state
governments, industry leaders, and various
knowledge partners. Next, a National
Workshop on sector specific industries in
December 2014 brought Secretaries to the
Government of India and industry leaders
together to debate and formulate an action
plan for the next three years, aimed at raising
the contribution of the manufacturing sector
to 25% of the GDP by 2020. This plan was
presented to the Prime Minister, Union
50
Ministers, industry associations and

industry leaders by the Secretaries to the
Union Government and the Chief Secretary,
Maharashtra on behalf of state governments.
These exercises resulted in a road map for
the single largest manufacturing initiative
undertaken by a nation in recent history.
They also demonstrated the
transformational power of public-private
partnership, and have become a hallmark of
t h e M a ke i n I n d i a p ro g ra m . T h i s
collaborative model has also been
successfully extended to include Indias
global partners, as evidenced by the recent
in-depth interactions between India and the
United States of America.
Highlights
Entry and exit regulations have been
eased out, exim regulations made

infinitely easier, six PSUs brought out
sickness and five PSUs closed down.
The process of applying for an
Industrial License (IL) and an

Industrial Enterpreneur
Memorandum (IEM) has been taken
online. The site, eBiz bis available
24x7 making it easier to file
applications and making online
payments of service tax.
The initial validity period of an
Industrial License has been increased

from 2 to 3 years, giving licensees
enough time to procure land and
obtain the necessary clearances. MHA
has also stipulated that it will grant
security clearances on industrial
license applications within 12 weeks.
With respect to Employees Provident
Fund Organization (EPFO) and
Make in India
Employees State Insurance

Corporation (ESIC), the amount of
time taken to register was a hindrance.
Now both the processes have been
automated and ESIC registration

number is now being provided an a

CHAPTER
Development Schemes
One of the principal objectives of the

Government of Indias Industrial Policy is to
promote balanced industrial development
throughout the country. For stimulating
industrial development of hilly States,the
Union Government has been supplementing
the efforts of State Governments through
various policies/schemes/packages of
incentives. Another focus area of the
Government of Indias Industrial Policy is to
develop quality industrial infrastructure
through various schemes for enhancing
international competiveness of the domestic
industries, especially in the functional
clusters/locations which have greater
potential to become globally competitive.
Some of the policies/schemes/packages of
incentives for development of industries
that are being currently administered by this
Department are given in this Chapter.
Transport Subsidy Scheme:
The Scheme was introduced in July, 1971 to
foster industrialization in the remote, hilly
and inaccessible areas by providing for
subsidy in the transportation cost incurred
by the industrial units so that they could
stand competition with other similar
industries, which are geographically located
in better areas.
Applicability
It is applicable to all industrial units
(barring plantations, refineries and power
58
generating units both in public and

private sectors irrespective of their size.)

Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand,
Andaman & Nicobar Administration,
Lakshadweep Administration and Darjeeling
District of West Bengal are covered under the
scheme.
Quantum of Subsidy
Subsidy ranging between 50% to 90% of the
transport cost for transportation of raw
material and finished goods to and fro from
the location of the unit and the designated
rail-head. For North East States, J&K and UTs,
the subsidy is 90%. For H.P., Uttarakhand and
Darjeeling district of West Bengal, the
subsidy is 75%. However, for movement of
goods within NER, the subsidy is 50%.
Period of eligibility
A unit is eligible for subsidy for a maximum
period of five years from the date of
commencement of commercial production.
Nodal Agency

Items of manufacture in the Leather Sector

do not attract Licensing Provisions under
The Industries Development and Regulation
Act 1951.
Light Electrical Industry Sector
The Light Electrical Industry is a diverse
sector having a number of distinct products
and sub-products. It includes goods like
electrical wires and cables, transmission
t o w e r, c r a n e s , l i f t s & e s c a l a t o r s ,
refrigerators, washing machine, air
conditioners, storage batteries, dry cell
batteries, electrical lamps & tubes etc. A
brief of some of these industries is given
below:Electrical wires and cables
Electrical wires and cable industry is one of
the earliest industries established in the
country in the field of electrical products. A
wide range of wires and cables are
manufactured in the country which includes
communication cables such as jelly filled
telephone cables, optic fibre cables, local
area network cables, switchboard cables,
coaxial cables, VSAT cables, electrical
cables such as electrical wires, winding
wires, automotive/battery cables, UPS
cables, flexible wires, low voltage power
cables and EHT power cables. The power
cable industry may be mainly divided into
four segments viz: house wiring (up to
440V), LT (1.1 to 3.3kV), HT (11 to 66kV),
EHV (66kV and above). Well-established R &
D facilities are key factors for development
of this industry. In India, renowned
laboratories like Central Power Research
78
Institute (CPRI), Electrical Research and

Development Association (ERDA) are well
equipped with the most advanced product
testing facilities to meet international
standards.
The production of insulated cable & wires of
all kinds in 2013-14 was 59.39 lakhs core
km. and in 2014-15 (April - December) was
47.10 lakhs core km. The export and import
of wires and cables (HS code. 7413 & 8544)
in 2013-14 was Rs. 4262.60 Crore and Rs.
4606.29 crore respectively whereas in 201415 (April-Nov.) the same was Rs. 2817.61
crore and Rs. 3662.59 crore respectively.
Transmission Towers
Transmission towers support high voltage
transmission lines which carry electricity
over long distance. These lines typically feed
into sub-station so that the electrical voltage
can be reduced to a level that can
subsequently be used by the customers.
There is an increasing trend in India to have
larger power stations, particularly mega and
ultra-mega power projects. Consequently
while there would be fewer but larger power
generating stations, the demand for
transmission of energy would grow
substantially. The move to integrate India's
transmission networks through a national
grid of inter-regional transmission lines will
facilitate transfer of power from surplus
regions to deficit regions. The industry has
facilities for testing
transmission towers up to 1000 KV with the
objective of catering to future growth of
transmission systems in the country as well
as to export demand.

The export and import of transmission

towers (HS Code 730820) in 2013-14 was
Rs. 1538.86 crore and Rs. 91.47 crore
respectively whereas in 2014-15 (AprilNov.) the same was Rs. 1108.89 crore and Rs.
24.10 crore respectively.
Cranes
Cranes and hoists are an important category
of material handling equipment required by
almost all sectors across the industry. A wide
range of cranes is manufactured in the
country and these include Electric Overhead
Traveling (EOT) cranes, mobile cranes, ladle
cranes, hydraulic decks, crab cranes, floating
cranes, controller cranes, etc. The sector has
a good growth potential in view of increased
industrial activities in various fields as well
as construction industry.
The production of cranes in 2013-14 was
17899 tonnes and in 2014-15 is 12041
tonnes. The export and import of cranes (HS
Code No.8426) in 2013-14 was Rs. 541.43
crore and Rs. 1200.55 crore respectively
whereas in 2014-15 (April-Nov) the same
was Rs. 342.10 crore and Rs. 1019.72 crore
respectively.
Lifts and Escalators
The use of lifts and escalators is increasing
rapidly due to substantial investments in
construction of multi-storied housing
complexes, large malls and supermarkets of
international standards, modernization of
airports and railway stations apart from
industrial sectors. A wide range of lifts
and escalators are manufactured in India.
These include single speed, double speed,
gearless, hydraulic, servo and Variable

Voltage Variable Frequency (VVVF)
elevators.
The production of lifts in 2013-14 was Rs.
1113.11 crore and in 2014-15 (AprilDecember) was 1050.13 crore. The export
and import of Lifts, Escalators, Conveyers
etc. (HS Code No. 8428) in 2013-14 was Rs.
367.45 crore and Rs. 2570.64 crore
respectively whereas in 2013-14 (April-Nov)
the same was Rs. 328.68 crore and Rs.
Refrigerators

airconditioners market can be classified
into three segments: window AC, split AC
and central AC. The split ACs are gaining
popularity due to limitation of space and
80
increase in number of people living in flats in

multi-storied complexes and also due to less
noise. Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), a
statutory body under the Ministry of Power
has introduced energy efficiency based star
rating for air conditioners to help consumers
buy the best energy efficient products.

Lead Acid Storage Batteries
Lead Acid Batteries are accumulators of
current and power which is discharged over
a period of time. They are used in vehicles
and also for various industrial uses such as
for back up power for UPS application,
control rooms, power stations,
telecommunications, etc. In addition, these
are also used for emergency lights for
houses, telephone systems and as power
source for mining etc. A new application of
Lead Acid Batteries has emerged today in
electric vehicles. The average life of the
battery is approximately 2 years, hence
these batteries will be needed as
replacement throughout the life of the
vehicle or the machinery in use. Although
there are few large scale manufacturers of
the product in India, there are large numbers
of very small scale units manufacturing the

product in a most unorganized manner.

Their products generally do not meet the
required standards as specified by Bureau of
Indian Standards. In order to ensure safe
disposal of lead acid batteries, Ministry of
Environment and forest has issued a
notification Batteries (Management and
H a n d l i n g ) Ru l e s , 2 0 0 1 u n d e r t h e
Environment (Protection) Act 1986.
The production of lead acid batteries by the
units in the organized sector in 2013-14 was
759.5 lakh and in 2014-15 (AprilDecember) was 655.87 lakh. The export and

undergone progressive improvements
through technological developments. New
types of dry cell batteries with longer shelf
life and greater dependability and also
rechargeable cells have come up. Nickel
cadmium batteries and other rechargeable
batteries are manufactured in the country to
meet the requirement of defence,
telecommunications and electronics. The
growing popularity of cellular phones,
laptops and imported toys could open the
market for a new range of batteries that are
not produced at present

general lighting service lamps such as
incandescent bulbs, halogen lamps, gas
discharge lamps such as fluorescent tube
light, compact fluorescent lamp, high
pressure mercury vapour lamps, metal
halide lamps, low pressure and high
pressure sodium vapour lamps and variety
of special lamps. The higher energy cost have
led to the development of energy efficient
lamps consuming less power and giving
output as close to daylight. Compact
Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) which consume
about 20% of the electricity for the same
light output and last up to 8 times longer than
the GLS are getting more popular. LEDs have
a great potential to provide highly efficient
lighting with little environmental pollution
in comparison to the incandescent lamps
(ICLs) and fluorescent lamps (FTLs, CFLs).
Penetration of LEDs in India could
significantly reduce lighting load as almost
22-25% of electricity is consumed for
lighting, which is also a major contributing
factor of peak demand. Due to higher costs,
LEDs are not very popular even though their
production has started in the country.

Salt Industry
Introduction
India is the third largest producer of salt in
the world after China and USA with an
average annual production of about 240 lakh
ton. It is the second largest producer of
iodized salt after China, with an average
annual production of 60 lakh ton. At the time
of independence, there used to be a shortfall
in production of salt which was met through
imports. Since then, India has made
tremendous progress in production of salt,
achieving self-sufficiency in 1953 and
exporting salt to other countries.
Salt is one of the essential items of human
consumption. The per-capita consumption
of salt in the country is estimated to be 14 Kg,
91
which includes edible and industrial salt.

The current annual requirement of salt in
the country is estimated to be 60 lakh ton for
edible use (including requirement of cattle)
and 120 lakh ton for industrial use. India
exported 59.61 lakh ton of salt valued at
Rs.844..40 crore during 2013-14 & during
2014-15 (up to Dec.) exported 34.55 lakh
ton, valued at Rs.556.22 crore.
Salt is manufactured mainly by solar
evaporation of seawater, sub-soil brine and
lake brine. Sea salt constitutes about 82% of
the total salt production in the country. Salt
manufacturing activities are carried out in
the coastal states of Gujarat, Tamil Nadu,
Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka,
Orissa, West Bengal, Goa and hinterland
State of Rajasthan. The 3 major salt
producing States are Gujarat (79%), Tamil
Nadu (11%) and Rajasthan (7%), which also
cater to the requirement of other States.
Cess is levied on Salt at the rate of Rs.3.50 per
ton, under Salt Cess Act 1953 Salt works
having an area up to 10 acres set up by
individuals or group of individuals have
been exempted from the payment of Cess.
Similar salt works setup over the measuring
above 10 acres but up to 100 acres is given
50% concession on the cess payable. Salt
exported to foreign countries is also
exempted from payment of cess.
Private sector contributes to more than 91%
of the salt production, the public sector
about 1.6% and the co-operative sector,
about 7.4%.

Salt of high purity is needed for iodization

and to meet the needs of industrial sector. To
achieve the required level of purity by
upgrading raw salt, Salt Commissioners
Office (SCO) has till date facilitated
establishment of 112 salt washeries
/refineries with an annual installed capacity
of 125 lakh ton. All the units are registered
with SCO and have commenced commercial
production.

Production
There are about 11931 salt works of which
only 5.7% i.e. 681 are big salt works
contributing about 66% of total salt
production of the country and remaining
34% of the total salt production is
contributed by the small salt manufacturers.
The total area under salt production is about
6.15 lakh acre. (Patta land, State Govt. land,
Port land, Salt Department land). Of this
58570 acres land belongs to Salt Department

for manufacture of Salt. The manufacturing

activities provide direct employment to

Distribution of Salt
Railways play an important role in
transporting salt from the three major salt
producing States to others. About 64% of
edible salt is transported by rail from
production centres and the remaining
quantity by road/sea route . Salt is
transported by rail under Preferential
Traffic and sponsored programmes on
requirement basis. Railways grant graded
concession in freight for transportation of
non refined iodized salt depending upon
distance.
Iodized Salt
For human consumption, edible salt needs
to be iodized to prevent and control Iodine
Deficiency Disorders (IDD). SCO has been
identified as the Nodal Agency for creation
of adequate salt iodization capacity,
monitoring production and quality of
iodized salt at production centres and
monitoring distribution of iodized salt in the
country, under National Iodine Deficiency
Disorders Control Programme (NIDDCP)
being implemented by the Ministry of Health
& Family Welfare. SCO has facilitated
establishment of 777 salt iodization units
including 112 refineries & washeries
(capacity 125 lakh ton) with an annual
installed capacity of 222 lakh ton upto March
2014. All the salt iodization units are

Achievements of UNIDO Centre for

South-South Industrial Cooperation
(UCSSIC), New Delhi
The UNIDO Centre for South-South
Industrial Cooperation (UCSSIC) was
established by UNIDO at New Delhi in
98
December 2006 with full financial support of

the Government of India. Phase-I of the
Centre was operationally completed in April
2013. UNIDO UCSSIC has now been merged
with ICAMT into one Centre viz. IC-ISID from
January 2015 for a period of 5 years.
The overall developmental goal of the
Centres operation is to contribute to social,
economic and environmental development
in least developed countries, mainly in Africa
and Asia. The main objective of the Centre is
to enhance South-South industrial
cooperation between the host country
(India) and developing countries by way of
(1) identification, design and implementation of technical cooperation (pilot)
projects and programmes on a demanddriven basis mainly in LDCs, (2) functioning
as matchmaker, catalyst and broker between
interested development parties. This is
realized by identifying and mobilizing
technical, financial, managerial, and other
resources required within the framework of
South-South industrial cooperation, in order
to achieve overall development goals.
UCSSIC participated in Conference on
Africa: A Land of Opportunities held on 20
November 2013 organized by PHD Chamber
of Commerce and Industry in New Delhi
jointly with Ministry of External Affairs. This
e ve n t f a c i l i t a t e d i n t e ra c t i o n w i t h

income generation in rural communities
Coast Province, Kenya; (ii) Strengthening the
technical service capabilities of Kenya
Industrial Research and Development
Institute (KIRDI); and (iii) Development of
Production Capacity and Promotion of Neem
Derived Bio Pesticides as low cost and ecofriendly alternative to chemical pesticides in
West Africa. Also three project proposals
have been given In-Principle approval to
conduct prepatory phase. These projects
will be taken forward by the new centre ICISID.
International Centre for Advancement of
Manufacturing Technology (ICAMT),
Bangalore
UNIDO ICAMT promotes manufacturing
technologies and innovations to enhance
industrial competitiveness in India and

other developing countries. The 3 project
under ICAMT namely Machine Tools, Plastic
Industry & Foundry Industry were
successfully completed in August 2014.
DIPP, on the recommendations of the
Evaluation Report of ICAMT, devised a new
center by reformatting the existing UNIDO
centres viz. ICAMT and UCSSIC and renamed
it as International Centre for Inclusive and
Sustainable Industrial Development
(ICISID). The ICISID echoes the theme of
UNIDOs post-2015 development agenda i.e.
Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial
Development and aims to bring best
practices and new improved manufacturing
technology to Indian industry and share
Indias experience in cluster based
development within the framework of
South-South Cooperation. The new centre
would be a model centre to promote targeted
interventions in selected Industrial and
Manufacturing Sectors.

Administration of the
Boilers Act, 1923
Administration of the Boilers Act, 1923 (5

of 1923) and the rules/ regulations made
thereunder
administration of the Boilers Act and has also

protected manufacturers/users' interests
without sacrificing the safety of boilers.
The Boilers Act was enacted in 1923 to

provide for the safety of life and property
from the danger of explosion of boilers and
for achieving uniformity in registration and
inspection during operation and
maintenance of boilers throughout the
country. Upto year 2007, there had been no
major amendments to the Act and the
legislation needed changes in consonance
with the developments and changes in the
technology of fabrication, testing, inspection
and operation of boilers.
In line with the aim to provide Ease of Doing

Business, the concept of self-certification
and third party inspection of boilers has
been taken up with the State Governments.
This will
benefit a broad spectrum of
industries both in large and small scale
sector which includes Power plants,
Chemical plants, Refineries, Paper plants,
Steel plants, Sugar mills and other process
industries.
The Indian Boilers (Amendment) Act, 2007

(49 of 2007), introduced improvements in
the provisions of the law to enhance safety
norms, to ensure uniformity in standards of
inspection, expediting inspections and
reducing bureaucratic delays by
decentralization of inspection of boilers
during their manufacture, erection and use,
by allowing inspection and certification by
independent inspecting authorities.
After framing of rules and regulations,
inspection by the third party inspecting
authorities and competent persons have
already begun in some states of India. This
has resulted in a simplified and more
accessible, user - friendly framework for the
124
Amendments are being introduced in the

Indian Boiler Regulations, 1950 for making
provisions for Super critical boilers and
other latest technologies in the industry.
Time period between inspection requiring
mandatory shut down of the boilers is being
increased in power plants and continuous
process plants which will result in increase
in production from these plants. Review of
forms and drawings is being undertaken to
simplify registration of boilers and make it
more user friendly for the stakeholders.
Central Boilers Board
The Central Boilers Board, constituted under
Section 27A of the Boilers Act, 1923 (5 of
1923) is responsible for making regulations

decisions for proper growth of the boiler
manufacturing industry in the country. The
Board formulates the Indian Boiler
Regulations incorporating the latest
developments taking place in the boiler
industry all over the world. The Boards
responsibilities have further increased with
the introduction of provision of third party
inspecting authorities and competent
persons for inspection and certification of
boilers and boiler components.

Statisticians from Indian

Statistical Service (ISS).
Tariff Commission is the only Government

organization which has the know-how and
expertise of using the tool of normation for
informed decision making across the board
for different sectors of the industry.
Normation is based on assessment of
achievable efficiencies i.e optimal capacity
utilization, productivity parameters of
respective inputs (such as man, material,
energy and machine) taking into account
technologies and manufacturing processes
etc. Normation analysis thus can be used to
benchmark sectors /units for enhancing
their competitiveness.
Merits of decision making through
Normation include:
Considered fair by an individual
and/or a group.
Determining the cost of goods/
services at optimal/efficient level of

inputs (manpower, material, energy
and capital) and provides thrust for
improvement in efficiency and
enhances competitiveness of the
industry.
It helps in identifying areas for
physical improvements leading to

enhancing competitiveness
N o r m a t i o n i s a f u n d a m e n t a l
management tool that supports

quality / excellence and innovation. It
is in fact a continuous process of
measuring ones own performance
and practices against the best
competitors. It is thus a benchmarking tool in competitiveness
studies.
Normation balances the interest of all
stakeholders while protecting

consumer interest.
It is a tool which also focuses on
providing road map for improving

industrial efficiency.

The following steps have been initiated to

make the functioning of the organization
more efficient, transparent and user
friendly:
i)
Under the e-governance project of

Government of India, the processes
relating to internal functioning of
PESO as well as those relating to
providing various services has been
re-engineered and made entirely
o n l i n e . P E S O h a s i t s we b s i t e
(http://peso.gov.in) with adequate
security features which is regularly
updated. The wide area network
(WAN) and related IT infrastructure
(hardware and software) have been
upgraded according to the
requirements. All the PESO offices
have been brought under Explonet
Network. The licensing work of PESO
from grant of construction approval,
grant of licence, amendment, renewal,
suspension, cancellation of licences
are being done online by all PESO
offices across the country. The data is
simultaneously updated on the PESOs
website. Applicants can also view
status of their application and can also
download letters issued by PESO.
Video Conferencing is also being used
for five Circle offices and Head Office at
Nagpur. All Explosives manufacturers
including SME manufacturers are
submitting their explosive production
data online from 1st July, 2010 and for
holders of Explosives Magazine

Licenses, online submission is
compulsory. Under the Explosive
Rules, the existing ERS (Explosives
Return System) has been enhanced to
compulsorily generate RE-11 (indent)
on the part of purchaser. Preparation
of RE-12 also goes through the checks
and balances provided in the system to
adhere to various rules framed in
Explosives Rules2008. On actual
receipt of explosives, the consignee
accepts the explosives online in the
ERS. Thus, features like knowing the
real-time stock have further enhanced
t h e E RS a n d s t re a m l i n e d t h e
transaction of explosives to a great
extent. Introduction of pass for use
(RE-13) is another initiative launched
for users of explosives in mines and
other sites to streamline the usage and
maintenance of records. This new
initiative will greatly help to curb the
misuse and mis-appropriation of
explosives and will also bring
accountability. Sites of use of
explosives with names of blasters will
also be captured in the database.
ii)
The indents, pass for sale and pass for

use of explosives are generated by the
system with a Rule engine which does
not allow any licensee to deviate from
provisions. Quarterly Returns of
explosives (RE7) are filed online by
licensees. All transactions (Returns)
are cross checked by the System.
iii)
All District Magistrates/ SPs have been

given link to the PESO website to view
movement of explosives in their
jurisdiction, whereas DIPP/ MHA can
see movement across the country.
System generated SMS Alert service
has been commenced for all
transactions of explosives i.e. issue of
indents by consignee, supply of
explosives, receipt of explosives etc.
iv)
For penal action under Explosives

Rules i.e. Suspension & Cancellation,
email facility has been integrated with
the internal application. The system
sends an email to concerned DM and
SP (wherever e-mail ids are available)
in case the license is suspended or
cancelled under their jurisdiction.
v)
E-filing of application for external

stakeholders under Petroleum Rules,
2002 has started. The licensees have
been provided with facility to register
with PESO portal and maintain their
License-Portfolio. This system also
provides them a facility to send their
application online to the concerned
office of PESO in India. In this process,
to provide e-filing to external
stakeholder, the internal application
has also been completely revamped
with additional features.
vi)
Under SMPV (U) and Petroleum Rules,

an initiative for Competent Persons
has also been launched. This initiative
has streamlined the online generation
of test certificates by competent
149
persons to a great extent. The

generated certificates also get linked
to respective license file at the time of
processing of applications. During
processing, PESO officers can view
certificates issued by the competent
person online and can also verify his
signature with the online record. This
will eliminate the scope of forgery in
the certification process.
Controller General of Patents, Designs
and Trade Marks (CGPDTM)
The Controller General of Patents, Designs
and Trade Marks (CGPDTM) administers the
Patents Act, 1970, the Designs Act 2000, the
Trade Marks Act 1999 and the Geographical
Protection) Act, 1999. The Office of
Controller General of Patents, Designs and
Trade Marks is located at Mumbai. The
CGPDTM also advises the Government on
matters relating to Intellectual Property
Rights. The Patent Information System and
the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of
Intellectual Property Management (NIIPM),
both located at Nagpur come under the
purview of the CGPDTM. The CGPDTM
supervises the functioning of:
a.
The Patent Offices (including the

Designs Wing) at Chennai, Delhi,
Kolkata & Mumbai.
b.
The Patent Information System (PIS)

and National Institute of Intellectual
Property Management (NIIPM) at
Nagpur.

c.
T h e Tra d e M a r k s Re g i s t r y a t
Ahmedabad, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata &
Mumbai and
d.
The Geographical Indications Registry

(GIR) at Chennai.
The Government has taken several initiatives

to modernize and streamline the intellectual
property administration in the country in
view of the strategic significance assumed by
intellectual property in the context of
globalization and liberalization of the Indian
economy and the increasing thrust on
innovation and creativity. These include
both legislative and administrative measures
to create a modern facilitative set-up. Under
the modernization project of IPO , four IPO
buildings at Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and
Chennai and new building for Rajiv Gandhi
National Institute of Intellectual Property
Management (RGNIIPM)at Nagpur have
been completed. The construction of a new
building for Trade Marks Registry and IP
Archive at Ahmedabad and ISA/IPEA
building at New Delhi in the existing
premises of IPO have been completed.
Besides strengthening online search in the
Patent Office database, novelty search
facilities have been strengthened by
subscribing to various patent and nonpatent databases. Digitization of old IP
records is almost complete and the current
records are being digitized immediately after
filing and stored in the electronic database.
Almost all IP information has been made
available to the public on the official website.
In order to increase the efficiency and
disposal of patent applications, 248 more

Examiners of Patents and Designs were
selected during the year 2011-12 out of
which 164 had joined and 134 of them are
now working in the Patent office. The
present strength of examiners of P & D in the
Patent Office is 187. The Office of CGPDTM is
making all efforts for expediting the
recruitment to 150 vacant posts of
Examiners of Patents & Designs through the
written examination to be conducted by
CSIR . Besides, the proposal for creation of
336 additional Examiners and commensurate number of Controllers approved
during the 12th plan period has already been
sent to the Ministry.
Awareness creation is one of the major
planks of the modernization scheme, as it
educates IP stakeholders of the benefits of
registration of their rights as also educates
the general public, particularly the business
community. These programmes are also
expected to sensitise the enforcement
agencies such as state police forces, customs,
judiciary, etc. During 2013-14, the Office of
CGPDTM has either organized or participated in 124 awareness programmes on
IPRs . Out of these, 28 programmes were
organized and funded by IPO including 12
programmes organized in association with
industry associations for MSME clusters. IPO
officials were nominated as resource
persons in 96 IP-awareness and
sensitization programmes conducted by
other organizations.
During the period from April to December,
2014, IPO has either organized or

participated in 81 programmes. Out of
these, 32 programmes were organized and
funded by IPO which include 4 WIPO- PCT
Roving Seminars and 2 WIPO-Madrid
Seminars, Knowledge Expo at Delhi, Design
Summit in collaboration with NID, 5
programmes conducted by Geographical
Indications Registry and 10 awareness
p ro g ra m m e s c o n d u c te d by I P O i n
collaboration with State Governments and
IPO officials were nominated as resource
persons for 49 IP-awareness and
sensitization programmes which were
conducted by other organizations.
The official website of the CGPDTM,
namely www.ipindia.nic.in contains
information that includes all IP-laws and
rules administered by the Office, reports,
official e-journals, public search facility of IP
records, dynamic utilities for public, public
notices and news.
During the year 2013-14, the Patent Office
generated revenue of 188.27 crore, Designs
Wing Rs. 1.34 crore, Trade Marks Registry
Rs. 122.50 crore, Geographical Indications
Registry Rs. 0.06 crore and NIIPM/PIS
generated Rs. 0.07 crore. Thus, the total
revenue generated by the Office of CGPDTM
during 2013-14 is Rs. 312.25 crore, which is
higher than the revenue of Rs. 282.32 Crs
earned in the year 2012-13.
The total non-plan expenditure during
2013-14 was Rs. 39.63 crore. Thus, against a
total revenue of Rs. 312.25 crore earned
during 2013-14, the actual expenditure was
151
Rs. Rs. 39.63 crore, leaving a revenue surplus

of Rs. Rs. 272.62 crore. It is expected that in
the financial year 2014-15, the revenue will
be higher than in the previous year.
During the period from April to December
2014, the total revenue generated by the
Office of CGPDTM is 378.52 crore which
includes the revenue of Rs. 278.29 crore
generated by Patent Office, Rs. 1.13 crore by
the Designs Wing, Rs. 99.01 crore by the
Trade Marks Registry, Rs.0.03 crore by the
Geographical Indications Registry and Rs.
0.06 crore generated by NIIPM/PIS. The
total non-plan expenditure during 2014-15
was Rs. 29.29 crore.
A brief summary of the activities of the
various offices under CGPDTM is given
below:

Through the Patents (Amendment) Rules
2014, the Fee concession to MSME sector
has been provided in all patent fees. A
third category of applicant for patent has
been introduced in the form of small
entity and the fees charged to them has
been fixed in between the fees for a natural
person and for all persons other than natural
persons (except a small entity).
Indian applicants are also increasingly using
the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) route to
obtain patents in other countries. The
number of international applications filed by
Indian applicants using the PCT system was
816 during 2013-14 and 599 applications
have been filed during the period from
April to December, 2014.
T h e Wo r l d I n t e l l e c t u a l P r o p e r t y
Organization (WIPO), a United Nations
agency specialized in the field of Intellectual
Property Rights, in its General Assembly
meeting held in September-October 2007 at
Geneva recognized the Indian Patent Office
as an International Searching Authority

(ISA) and an International Preliminary
Examining Authority (IPEA) under the
Patent Co-operation Treaty. This puts India
in an elite group of 17 Patent Offices
recognized as ISAs and IPEA. Patent Office
has started functioning as ISA/IPEA at
Patent Office Delhi with effect from 15th
October, 2013. During 2013-14, 145
international applications choosing India as
ISA were received in Patent Offices at four
locations whereas during the period from
April to December, 2014, 538
international applications choosing
India as ISA have been received in Patent
Offices at four locations.
A comprehensive and dynamic Patent
Search Portal has been developed in the
IPO website. The patent search facility in the
website has been considerably strengthened. The status of patent applications
including publication, examination and
grant as well as all post- publication patent
documents are available freely for public
search in the website. A modified portal for
E- Register of Patents has been made
available in the website.
Many dynamic utilities on patent have
been made available in the website for
the benefit of the public like, displaying the
month of filing of Request for Examination
for which First Examination Report is being
issued; knowing the group-wise and
location-wise dates of Requests of
Examination (RQ) for which First
examination Report (FER) has been sent to
the applicants; displaying the status on
disposal of patent applications by the
respective examination groups during the

specified period. The utility for facilitating
search to ascertain the status of a patent has
also been provided. Besides, the facility for
displaying patents, which have expired or
ceased to have effect by reason of failure to
pay the renewal fee has been provided by
their number, title and technical / scientific
field. Also, the facility for viewing First
E xa m i n a t i o n Re p o r t ( F E R ) i s s u e d
(Jurisdiction and Group-wise) at all
locations of Patent Office has been made
available. A Stock and Flow based Dynamic
Utility for Patent has been made available to
provide the applicants/stakeholders with
Patents under different stocks and the flow
of applications at various stages of
processing.
The comprehensive e-filing facility
covering all Forms was made available
earlier by IPO for patents and for
trademarks. Further, 10 % surcharge in
fees on physical filing has been
introduced through the amendment of
Patents (Amendment) Rules 2014 with the
objective of promoting online filing .
Because of these initiatives, the online filing
has increased to about 75 % in patents.
The Comprehensive Payment gateway
(including internet banking, Debit and Credit
Cards) for payment of patent and trademark
fees integrated to the e-filing system has
been launched on 8th September, 2014 to
extend the facility of online payment
gateway for Patent and Trademarks through
multiple banks (about 55 banks) with
Central Bank of India (CBI) as a focal and
153
accredited bank. Due to introduction of

Comprehensive Payment gateway, the
online filing is expected to increase further
for both patents and trademarks .
The Patent Office subscribes to major
global patent and non-patent databases
for prior art search to be conducted by the
examiners. The Manual of Patent Office
Practice and Procedures has been
prepared to ensure uniformity in operation
and the same is available on the website.
Further, the Guidelines for Processing of
Pa t e n t A p p l i c a t i o n s r e l a t i n g t o
Traditional Knowledge and Biological
M a te r i a l a n d
Guidelines for
Examination of Biotechnology
Applications have been published in the
official website. The "Guidelines for
examination of patent applications in the
field of Pharmaceuticals have been
published in the official website on 29th
October, 2014. The digitization of old patent
records is almost complete and current
patent records are digitized immediately
after filing the documents so that these are
available for examination. These steps have
resulted in a significant improvement in the
performance of the office.

A study has been carried out on

finding out the cause of lump
formation on storage of cement bags.
It was found that free lime and
anhydrite phases present in the
cement were found to absorb CO2
and moisture from air causing
formation of soft lumps on storage of
cement in bags.
Investigations carried out on the

suitability of marble dust as mineral
additive in cement showed addition
of 5% marble dust containing as low
as 54% CaCO3 as mineral additive in
the manufacture of ordinary Portland
cement (OPC) has shown physical
performance comparable to OPC
containing 5% limestone with 82%
CaCO3 (i.e. > 75% CaCO3 permitted
as performance improver by Bureau
of Indian Standards). Further,
Portland Limestone Cement (PLC)
samples prepared by inter grinding of
10 to 35% marble dust and
conventional limestone showed
comparable or marginally improved
physical performance.

Investigation have been taken up on

characterization of fly ash samples
from NTPC unit, generating about 4.5
million tonnes of fly ash annually.
Accordingly the fly ash samples were
collected and characterized for
properties as per IS:3812 for their
chemical and physical characteristics.
The samples of non ferrous slag were

investigated for their suitability as
raw mix component in the manufacture of cement. It was found that the
slag had appreciable glass content
and could be utilized upto 3.0 percent
in designing the raw mix for making
up the requirements of the fluxing
components such as Al2O3 and
Fe2O3. The resultant clinker samples
prepared in the laboratory indicated
improved quality in terms of mineral
phase development and granulometery. The cement sample so prepared
was found to conform to all the
requirements of the Indian Standard
specification for 53 grade OPC.
Investigations on sludges from

effluent treatment plant having iron
oxide along with small amount of
titanium oxide were carried out on
establishing their utilization in
cement manufacture. It was found
that the sludge could be used as raw
mix component resulting in desirable
quality of clinker. It was also found
that the presence of titanium oxide in
these waste byproducts helped in
lowering in clinkerization temperature by about 50oC. The investigations are under process.

17065) and Inspection Bodies (ISO 17020).
The accreditation programmes provided by
NABCB are in accordance with the
internationally accepted standard, ISO
17011, as well as the requirements of the
international bodies such as the
International Accreditation Forum (IAF),
and the International Laboratory
Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), and
regional bodies like Pacific Accreditation
Cooperation (PAC) and Asia Pacific
Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation
(APLAC), of which NABCB is a member.
Accreditation bodies from almost all
economies of the world are members of
these international organizations who
maintain an international framework of
199
Multilateral Recognition Arrangements

(MLA)/Mutual Recognition Arrangements
(MRA) which ensure acceptance of each
others accreditations as being equivalent
worldwide on successful peer evaluation of
the accreditation programmes. This
facilitates the overall objective Tested,
Certified or Inspected Once is Accepted
Everywhere.

ISO 9001 for government department

Since the inclusion of Implementation of ISO
9001 as the mandatory indicators in Results
Framework Document (RFD), the 74 central
government departments had initiated work
on implementing the standard. While a few
of the departments and responsibility
centres had obtained the certification to ISO
9001, most of the other departments were
having problems in implementing ISO 9001.
Keeping in view of the problems, QCI was
requested to conduct a survey by the
Performance Management Division (PMD) of
Cabinet Secretariat, Govt. of India, where by
each of the 74 departments were visited to
understand the nature of the problems faced.
Based on the findings, it was felt that (a)
there is a need for capacity building in the
government sector regarding ISO 9001 and

(b) there are departments which need
technical hand holding support for
implementing ISO 9001, especially those
that are yet to initiate the process. Quality
Council of India, was requested to prepare a
proposal covering the above two findings.
While a proposal is being drawn up, QCI is
providing technical monitoring services to
the following departments that have
requested for the services.

growth in manufacturing and creation of 100
million jobs in line with the objectives of
National Manufacturing Policy.
2.
Highlights of Major Activities/

Policy Initiatives/ Measures
Suggested/ Achieve-ments during
2014 (up to December 2014):
2.1 Regional Transport Civilian Aircraft

Manufacturing: The last meeting of the
High Level Committee on Manufacturing
207
(HLCM) in July 2013 had endorsed the idea

of development of civilian aircrafts, of a 70100 seater range as a publically funded
national project through a dedicated SPV to
be promoted by HAL and NAL. Given that
the Indian market for civilian aircraft is
becoming one of the largest in the world, this
initiative is overdue. Being the convenor
member of HLCM, NMCC was asked to steer
the preparatory work.
A number of stakeholders consultations
were held to discuss the possible
structures/models for the development of
such aircrafts. Works relating to formation
of SPV, RFP, and seeking investment
approval from the Government were at
various stages of progress.
In this
connection, NMCC had inter alia suggested
as follows:
208
A change in the Allocation of Business

Rules and delete the entry 4 of
Ministry of Civil Aviation production
of aircraft and aircraft components for
civil use and insert Production of
Civil Aircraft in entry 12 of the
Department of Defence Production, so
as to better utilise the existing
capacities of HAL and DRDO.
The SPV would need to be given
special empowerment. Choosing
partners, as well as personnel, where
necessary, on a search basis and on
negotiated rates would be essential
for such a high technology and high
risk initiative. Entering into long term
commercial arrangements including
negotiated pricing for commercial

production would also be a necessary
pre-requisite. This is normal with all
global OEMS.
A major effort would be needed in

parallel, to create testing and
c e r t i f i c a t i o n c a p a c i t y fo r t h e
programme so that internationally
acceptable certification for the aircraft
is available after successful
development and at the time of
An initial market strategy of leasing for

the domestic market combined with
efficient after sales service including
MRO, would help in giving confidence
to the user airlines about the
competitiveness of the aircraft. This
would be necessary for achieving
commercial success for the product in
the market.
The development programme could be

funded through an interest free loan.
At the time of commercial production a
view can be taken on the extent to
which this can be converted into
equity and interest bearing debt so as
to ensure commercial viability of the
manufacturing phase.
2.2 Vision 2024-25 for Textile Sector:

A committee under the Chairmanship of the
Member Secretary, NMCC was set up by the
Ministry of Textile, Government of India to
formulate a Textile Policy. After having wide
stakeholders consultations, the Vision
2024-25, Strategy and Action Plan for the
Textile Sector was submitted to the Textile

Ministry.
key measures has been suggested by

NMCC:
2.3
A new policy orientation to liberally

allocate captive iron ore mines to steel
plants. The countrys abundant iron
ore reserves should be used to give a
cost advantage for steel making
within the country.
Develop green field sites for new steel

plants through location specific SPVs
in partnership with the State
Government. The SPV should
assemble land, tie-up water and iron
ore, obtain initial environment and
forest clearances and prepare the
logistics plan of road and rail
connectivity to the proposed steel
plant. The SPV could then be offered
for takeover in a transparent manner
to potential investors who would then
set up the steel plant.
Put in place a mechanism for the

development of the requisite road and
rail connectivity for these new green
field sites. Long term i.e. 25-30 years,
fixed interest rate debt for this
purpose could make the investment in
road and rail connectivity viable on
the basis of user charges for the traffic
volumes generated by the steel plants
itself. With some Government
support, consortia of lenders could be
put together for this purpose and if
this does not appear feasible, then
setting up of a dedicated fund could
also be considered.
Solar Manufacturing:
To promote domestic manufacturing of solar

equipments in line with the overall
objectives of National Solar Mission, the
NMCC has inter-alia suggested the following
to the Government:
Imposition of duties on import of solar

equipments as recommended by the
Ministry of Commerce.
Reengineering of the Solar Mission for

use of solar power with subsidies by
Government agencies to successfully
meet the objections raised by other
countries, if required.
Indication of road map for domestic

sourcing of full value chain by 2017.
This would attract investments in full
value chain with plants having the
required economies of scale. Bids for
supply in 2017 could even be invited
with enough lead time for submission
of bids.
Advise the State Governments to

adopt the same approach as some
State level programmes are as large as
National programmes.
2.4
Steel Sector
To give a greater momentum to the steel

industry for the achievement of the
ambitious goal of steel production crossing
300 Million Tons per annum around
the middle of the next decade, following
209
Handholding and facilitation for

Brownfield expansion of existing
steel plants. In the short run, capacity
augmentation would take place
primarily through this route.
2.5 Monitoring Capital Expenditure

(CAPEX) of 23 major CPSUs:
At the behest of the PMO, the NMCC has been
reviewing the Capital Expenditure of 23
select major CPSUs on a quarterly basis.
During April, 2014 September, 2014 of the
Financial Year 2014-15, the achievement of
target was 90.2 per cent of the targeted
CAPEX, which was significant. As a result of
monitoring exercise, following major
issues/areas were suggested for follow-up:
2.5.1 National Investment Fund:
The idea of creating a National Investment
Fund by taking special dividend from the
select CPSUs where CAPEX is moderate in
comparison to their post-tax profits and
growing reserves as suggested earlier by
NMCC was pursued further. It is envisaged
that the fund could, inter-alia, be used for a
wide range of investments such as provision
of equity for key infrastructure projects
including PPP projects, contribution to the
Trust Fund for the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial
Corridor, strategic investments like FAB
facilities and chip manufacturing, etc.
It was inter-alia decided in a CAPEX review
meeting taken by the Principal Secretary to
the PM on 21.11.2014 that a Concept Note
should be prepared by Department of
Economic Affairs for floating a
210
professionally managed Sovereign Fund in

the nature of Umbrella Investment Fund for
investing in any investable projects including
Infrastructure Projects and Smart Cities.
2.5.2 Issues in the Oil sector:
As the problem of under-recoveries

has been more or less resolved
through deregulation of petrol and
diesel prices, oil PSUs which are cash
rich should immediately invest to
bring Indian petrol and diesel to
contemporary European standards.
This would be good for environment in
our cities and the health of the
population.
A National Gas Grid covering all major

cities over 1 million and all industrial
clusters is a desirable and feasible goal.
The process for approval and decision
making for this needs to be
streamlined. Investment in National
Gas Grid needs creative risk mitigation
mechanism to be put in place by the
Government.
2.5.3 Issues for follow up in the Hydro

sector:
A quick review of Learnings of Project and
Contract Management of Hydro Power
Projects is needed to reduce the time and
cost over runs of Central sector hydro
projects.
2.6 Champions for Societal Manufacturing (CSM) Project:
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
was signed with Japan International
Cooperation Agency ( JICA) for the

programme on Champions for Societal
Manufacturing (CSM) Project for creating
Visionary leaders for manufacturing so that
break through management techniques may
be applied for promoting the growth of
Indian manufacturing sector.
Coal India Ltd. to commit full supply

with imports augmenting domestic
production.
Pooled pricing.
Target ordering of 20000 MW on

domestic firms this financial year.
2.8.2 New Infrastructure Projects on

Annuity:
In the Factsheet of India and Japan

Partners for common development
regarding recent visit of Prime Minister of
India to Japan from 30th August 3rd
September, 2014, it has inter-alia been
indicated that both sides highly appreciated
the achievements of CSM Project as a
valuable Japanese contribution to the
development of manufacturing sector in
India. The Indian side welcomed Japans
intention to launch a new sub-project named
Village Buddha, which aims at leadership
development for self-help groups in rural
areas, taking into account the important role
played by women in such groups.
Completion of Railway electrification:

Phasing out of use of diesel by
Railways for traction as with current
and anticipated level of diesel prices, it
makes commercial sense to switch
over to electric traction with the aim
for complete electrification at the
earliest.
2.7 To ensure uninterrupted power

supply to industrial clusters/industrial
parks for boosting manufacturing, NMCC
has suggested for a Partial Open Access and
Differential Peak/Off-Peak Regime for
consideration of the Government.
Completion of Railway Over Bridges

(RoBs) and Railway Under Bridges
(RuBs) which would lead to the overall
economy by reducing the waiting time
at Railway crossings and also result in
saving of lives.
Affordable Housing for 10 lakh

workers in industrial areas across the
country.
Putting together consortium of banks

to provide fixed interest rates long
term debt of 20-30 years.
Government to accept contingent

liability from interest rate fluctuations
2.8
For the revival of manufacturing

NMCC has also suggested the
following:
construction of New Expressways.
2.8.1 Start New Power Projects:
Grant coal linkage on demand for all

projects including captive power
plants.
Bid out projects of around 4 lakh crore

on annuity in the following areas:
211
in cost of funds to consortium to long

term financing immediately and not to
wait for deepening of bond markets.
N o w, t h a t R a i l w a y s a r e n e w
undertaking next phase of
technological modernization, making
it is essential that the modernization
and procurement strategy should
ensure that domestic manufacturing
and value addition is intrinsic to the
process. With art this as a central
objective, India would become
increasingly import dependant in new
high technology areas as is the case
now in the Telecom sector. The
situation for urban metro projects is
somewhat similar. There are
multiplicity of technology streams and
partners emerging from the bidding
process for each metro project but
hardly any significant domestic
manufacturing. Therefore, the
minimum which should be done in
these projects is to insist upon high
value addition in India as a necessary
p re - c o n d i t i o n fo r t h e p ro j e c t
implementation.
It needs to be borne in mind that there

are considerable advantages in
standardization and choosing only one
technology stream as over the long
run, cost of maintenance and spares
would be much lower. True life cycle
cost comes down with scale and
standardization. This consideration
would warrant long term relationship
with one global technology partner
from among leading global players
having frontier technologies on the
best possible terms rather than going
2.8.3 Adjustment of duties for domestic

manufacturing:
Remove inverted duty structure.
Deemed export benefits to Defence, IT

& Electronics Hardware and
Shipbuilding.
Deemed export benefits to items

getting zero import duty under FTA.
For zero import duty items under FTA,

supplies to DTA from SEZ to be
considered as foreign exchange
earnings under SEZ obligations.
Lowering import duty to zero on raw

materials and primary inputs.
Maintenance of Competitive Exchange

Rate by RBI for domestic value
addition and manufacturing for
domestic as well as export market.
2.9
Domestic Manufacturing in
Railways:
So far the Railways have a credible

tradition for having successfully
ensured the creation of adequate
domestic manufacturing capability
for their needs and import content has
been nominal. Past modernization
undertaken in the pre-economic
reform period had involved imports
but these were undertaken with
Transfer of Technology and phased
Indigenization programme.
212
in for project by project choice of

suppliers and partners. In choosing
the technology partner, sufficient
weightage to the pace of
indigenization and technology
transfer may be given in addition to
the price. Life cycle cost should, in
any case, be lower with greater
d o m e s t i c va l u e a d d i t i o n a n d
progressive indigenization.
2.10 Domestic Manufacturing of
Advanced Materials, Alloys and
Composites:
In the last meeting of HLCM in July, 2013, one
of the subjects taken up for consideration
was Advanced Materials, Alloys and
Composites. It was agreed that NMCC would
evolve an action plan in this regard in
consultation with all stakeholders. The
NMCC has since been having a series of
stakeholder meetings. The key action points
that emerged during the process are as
follows:
Undertaking bulk procurement of

anticipated aggregated demand for a
few years from a future date with the
stipulation of domestic manufacturing.
Willingness to give price preference

and to accept a higher price up to 15%
for a few years for creating domestic
supply and strategic autonomy in
critical materials and alloy (A 15%
price preference for domestic supplies
in global tenders which were
mandatory in World Bank financed

projects and was provided to promote
domestic industrial development).
2.11 A Road map for replacing all the
energy inefficient agricultural pump
sets by efficient ones:
On the basis of stakeholders consultations at
NMCC, there was a consensus that the
following needs to be pursued:
The Ministry of MSME may cover all

the pump manufacturing clusters
under their National Manufacturing
Competitiveness Programme (NMCP).
Access to existing know-how for

making energy efficient pump may be
freely provided and awareness created
by the DC, MSME along with BEE.
As CSIR develops a more efficient

pump and the prototype is tested and
becomes successful in field trials, this
technology may then be freely
disseminated.
A special scheme of soft financing for

existing manufacturers to upgrade
their manufacturing facilities to be
able to make energy efficient pumps
may be drawn up in case there is a
genuine need. DC, MSME and DG, BEE
may have this exercise jointly
completed. The Ministry of Power
could then implement such a scheme
through the Rural Electrification
Corporation (REC).
The immediate need is to create a
213
greater demand for energy efficient

pumps giving the market signal to
existing manufacturing to upgrade
and modernize. EESL and BEE would
try and work with a few progressive
State Governments to try and take up a
few pilot projects for free replacement
by the State Discoms of energy
inefficient pumps by efficient ones.
The recent experience of EESL with
LED lights had been very successful in
using volumes to push prices down.
214
The BEE should come out with a

discussion paper on the subject
proposing that from a prospective
year, say 2017, the production of
energy inefficient pumps would not be
permitted.
The objective should be to replace all

inefficient pumps by efficient ones by
2020.
2.12 Other Suggestions for higher growth,

manufacturing and employment
generation:
Bring about structural adjustments in

the economy with a significant shift
from consumption to investment with
a target investment rate of 40% in 2-3
years.
Outlays for manufacturing especially

for Ministry of MSME and DIPP for
industrial corridors do need to be
raised substantially.

CHAPTER
Representation of Scheduled Castes/

Scheduled Tribes/OBCs/Ex-servicemen
and Physically Disabled persons in Services
The Governments efforts for safeguards of

public employment for persons belonging to
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled tribes are
instrumental in ensuring inclusive growth of
the Nation, free from discrimination and
sufferings. In accordance with the policy of
the Government of India, a SC/ST Cell has
been created in the Department under a
Liaison Officer of the rank of Deputy
Secretary with the objective of ensuring
proper implementation of the instructions
issued from time to time relating to
reservation for SCs/STs in Government
service. The SC/ST Cell in the Department is
responsible for monitoring the
implementation of the instructions of the
Government on the reservation of SC/ST in
services in the Department as well as in
various attached/subordinate offices,
inspection of reservation rosters, ensuring
submission of regular returns to the
Department of Personnel & Training.
Similarly, a nodal officer has been appointed
in the rank of Deputy Secretary, for ensuring
proper implementation of the instructions
issued from time to time in respect of OBCs
in government service.
Periodic directions are also issued by the
Department to all administrative sections as
well as the appointing authorities under its

control to ensure proper implementation of
the directives on reservation for members of
the Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes/
OBCs/Ex-servicemen and Physically
Disabled Persons.
Re p re s e n t a t i o n o f Pe r s o n s w i t h
Disabilities in Service
Section 3 of the Persons with Disabilities
(Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights
and Full Participation) Act. 1995 stipulates
that as a matter of policy, 3% reservation in
the posts under the Government be provided
fo r p e r s o n s w i t h d i s a b i l i t i e s . T h e
Promotion has been making efforts in the
matter and the instructions issued by the
Government of India from time to time are
being implemented in the Department and
circulated to all attached/subordinate
offices and autonomous organizations under

CHAPTER
Women Welfare Activities
The principle of gender equality is enshrined

in the Indian Constitution in its Preamble,
Fundamental Duties and Directive
Principles. The Constitution not only grants
equality to women, but also empowers the
State to adopt measures of positive
discrimination in favour of women. Within
the framework of a democratic polity, our
laws, developmental policies, plans and
programmes have aimed at advancement of
women in different spheres.
In consonance with the guidelines proposed
by the Honble Supreme court in the case of
Vishakha and others Vs. State of Rajasthan,
the National Commission for Women drafted
a code of conduct to be adopted by the
Ministries/Departments. The Department
has a Complaints Committee headed by a
woman Director in accordance with the code
of conduct wherein it was stipulated that the
Committee should be headed by a woman

and not less than half of its members should
be women.
The constitution and objectives of the
Complaints Committee have been intimated
to all sections in this Department. All the
attached/subordinate offices under the
Department have also such committees for
ensuring prompt action on any complaint of
sexual harassment at work place.
The Department follows all the guidelines of
the Government in this matter and all
possible efforts are being made to create
healthy and congenial atmosphere so that
women employees can perform duties with
honour, dignity and without fear. The
suggestions from women employees are
invited from time to time for improvement in
their working conditions.

CHAPTER
Implementation of Official
Language Policy of the Union
Implementation of provisions of Central

Official Language Policy
Hindi in Devnagari script has been adopted
as the Official Language of the country in the
constitution of Republic of India and the
Official Language Policy has been derived for
progressive use of Hindi in official work and
its propagation. Several steps were taken
during the year 2014-15 in the Department
of Industrial Policy and Promotion under
M/o Commerce & Industry to ensure
compliance to the Official Language Policy of
the Government and implementation of
provisions of Annual
Programme
prescribed by the Department of Official
Language, Ministry of Home Affairs and
compliance to other constitutional
obligations.
With a view to ensure maximum use of
Hindi, rules/provisions of Official Language
Act (O.L. Act), 1963 passed by the highest
constitutional institution of the countryParliament of India, were fully implemented.
All documents mentioned in the main
section 3(3) of the Act such as general
orders, rules, resolutions, licenses etc.
including all papers to be submitted to the
Parliament, were ensured to be issued
mandatorily in bilingual form i.e., in Hindi
218
and English. As per mandate contained in

Rule-5 of O.L Rules 1976, all letters received
in Hindi, were replied in Hindi.
In addition to compliance of provisions of
O.L. Act and Rule-5 of O.L. Rules, 1976
enacted by the Parliament after adopting
Hindi as official language by the Constituent
Assembly after independence, letters to
Offices/public sector undertakings/
institutions etc. of State Governments, Union
Territories and Central Government located
in region A, B and C as prescribed by
Ministry of Home Affairs w.r.t. O.L. Policy,
were issued in Hindi to the extent possible.
Efforts were made to achieve the targets laid
down in the Annual Programme prepared by
M/o Home Affairs, Department of Official
Language. With active cooperation of
officers/employees, 76%, 71% and 67% (as
on 31th December, 2014) of correspondence
was done in Hindi with Region A, B and C
respectively during the year. In this way,
accelerated efforts to achieve targets fixed by
M/o Home Affairs, were continued. Sincere
efforts are being made to achieve further
progress.
With the aim of increasing use of Hindi in the
office, many Sections of the Deptt. have been
notified to do their entire official work in
Hindi with reference to implementation of

provisions of O.L Act. Doing maximum work
in Hindi by these Sections, inspires others
for the same. This has helped in increased
commitment of all employees to contribute
more effectively in the constitutional
mandate regarding progressive use of Hindi.
Monitoring of Implementation of Official
Language Policy of the Government A
Quarterly Report regarding status of
implementation of Official Language Policy
in the Department and Offices/Institutes
under it, is sent to M/o Home Affairs online.
This is reviewed regularly by the Official
Language Wing of the Deptt. in context of
relevant rules. In addition, position is also
reviewed extensively in the quarterly
meetings of Official Language
Implementation Committee under the
chairmanship of a Joint Secretary (Incharge,
O.L.) and having officers of the level of
Director/Dy. Secretary as members.
Necessary instructions are issued to the
officers concerned. During the period under
review, Three meetings (as on 7.01.2015) of
the Committee have been held.
A high level Hindi Advisory Committee
under the chairmanship of Minister for
Commerce & Industry, monitors the position
regarding use of Hindi in official work in the
Ministry as well as offices under it.
With the aim of increasing use of Hindi and
for publics convenience, Departments
Official Website has been made bilingual.
The information about working/

activities/achievements of the Department,
is made available in both Hindi & English on
the website.
The officers responsible for official language
work, inspect the Divisions of the
Department, as well as its attached offices to
have an on-the-spot assessment of
implementation of O.L Policy of the Govt.
During the year 2014-15, Fourteen
Divisions of the Deptt. and Three offices
under it, were inspected and inspection
reports with shortcomings and suggestions
were sent. Position is regularly reviewed.
Training
To facilitate maximum use of Hindi in official
work, training in Hindi typing and
stenography is given to the concerned
employees from time to time. It is a
continuous process which is carried out
through Hindi Teaching Scheme of M/o
Home Affairs.
Workshops are organised from time to time
to acquaint the officers/staff of the Deptt.
with Official Language Policy of the
Government, resolve their problems in
working in Hindi and impart practical
training in this regard. Experts are engaged
for this purpose. During the year, Three
workshops were arranged. In these
workshops, the experts shared knowledge
with the participants about O.L. Policy and
imparted training about noting/drafting in
Hindi. The participants also came to know
219
about the process of working in Hindi on

computer enabled with Unicode software. In
addition, a Departmental Glossary has also
been prepared and made available to all the
officers/employees.
Mechanical Aids
In compliance to the Official Language Policy
of the Union, the computers working in the
Deptt. , have been equipped with the facility
of working in Hindi & English. These have
been made more effective and accessible by
providing encoding of Unicode software.
Incentive Schemes
With a view to encourage officers
/employees to do their maximum work in
Hindi, some incentive schemes have been
implemented.
