Our strategy for ‘Make in India’ requires urgent creation of new infrastructure.
The substantial enhancement in financing in the federal budget for highways,
railways and energy is a step in this direction. Work has begun on the
development of Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. My Government has pledged
a stable and transparent tax regime, reducing corporate taxes and
implementing a single Goods & Services Tax in 2016.
We recognize that the availability of a skilled work-force is a pre-requisite for
manufacturing growth. My Government is giving the highest priority to the
Skills India programme. We will focus on promoting models of vocational
training according to specific needs of local industry, and to adopt best practices
from abroad.
Narendra Modi
Hon'ble Prime Minister
India offers highly attractive investment opportunities for domestic and
international investors. Such investments are critical for fostering
entrepreneurship, innovation, improving infrastructure, creating jobs and
transforming India into a global manufacturing hub.
To actualize the vision of ‘Make in India’, ASSOCHAM is establishing the GLOBAL
INVESTORS' INDIA FORUM, which will galvanize investments into India through
an extensive network of International Business Promotion Councils and
ASSOCHAM offices/alliances across the world, and position India as the Number
One investment destination globally.
Rana Kapoor
Chairman, ASSOCHAM Global Investors’ India Forum
Business Confidence has certainly
