Govt working closely with industry leaders to identify 100 products to boost domestic production
May-12-2026

Secretary in the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Amardeep Singh Bhatia has said that the government is working closely with industry leaders to identify around 100 products that are not being produced or insufficiently manufactured within the country, particularly in the auto sector, as part of efforts to boost domestic production. He said a set of unique and interesting products has already been identified, including auto sector items such as axles and motorcycle components. 

As part of this initiative, the secretary said that the government plans to introduce the 'Made in India Brand Scheme'. He said ‘we have had a pilot run with the steel sector, and it has been quite encouraging and the scheme will provide a brand with a logo. He said a domestic company will be able to use that Made in India brand to not only indicate the value addition but also assure quality. He said that the industry will be consulted to finalise the sectors.

Talking about artificial intelligence, he said it is moving very fast and is affecting manufacturing through greater productivity and more innovation. He also urged the domestic industry to invest in India on a long-term basis. He added that the free trade agreements (FTAs) finalised by India would provide significant opportunities for Indian businesses by reducing tariff barriers, enhancing market access, and facilitating investment.
