‘The Impact of Make in India Scheme on Small Scale Manufacturing Companies’

The Make in India initiative, launched by the Government of India in 2014, aimed to transform India into a global manufacturing hub. This paper examines the impact of this initiative on small-scale manufacturing companies in India, with particular focus on growth, challenges, and opportunities. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative research, the paper explores how policies under Make in India have affected the sector, looking at improvements in production, technological innovation, employment, and access to capital. The findings suggest that while there have been positive outcomes, several challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, financing constraints, and policy inconsistencies remain.
