The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is collaborating with 24 sub-sectors, including the textile industry, to encourage homegrown manufacturing, increase exports, and decrease imports, according to an official statement.
The Commerce and Industry Ministry stated that ‘Make in India’ has achieved “significant” strides since its inception and is currently concentrating on 27 areas under ‘Make in India 2.0’. The Department of Commerce is coordinating action plans for 12 service sectors, while the DPIIT is handling coordination for 15 manufacturing sectors.
“Now, DPIIT is working closely with 24 sub-sectors which have been chosen keeping in mind the Indian industries strengths and competitive edge, need for import substitution, potential for export and increased employability,” the Ministry said.
It added that these sub-sectors include leather and footwear, textiles and sporting goods. “Efforts are on to boost the growth of the sub-sectors in a holistic and coordinated manner,” it said.
It further stated that Invest India handles investment identification, handholding, and facilitation; ministries, state governments, and Indian embassies overseas are used for investment outreach.
