Make in India Certification

By Shiromani Associates – Chartered Accountants

Launched on September 25, 2014, Make in India is a flagship initiative by the Government of India, designed to transform India into a global manufacturing and investment hub. Spearheaded by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, this initiative aims to:

• Encourage foreign direct investment (FDI)

• Boost domestic manufacturing

• Enhance ease of doing business

• Promote innovation, skill development, and world-class infrastructure

Make in India is structured around four strategic pillars:

1. New Processes – Simplified compliance and digitized procedures

2. New Infrastructure – Upgraded logistics, smart cities, and industrial corridors

3. New Sectors – Expanded focus beyond manufacturing into 25 key sectors
