The country has to grow at a much higher rate than the current growth
rate of 7.5 per cent and it will not be possible without manufacturing
which has to become a key driver of growth, NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant
said here on Wednesday.
"The challenge is that we need to grow at
a higher rate over a long period of time, over three decades or more,
and it's not possible to grow without manufacturing. It's not possible
to do it without appliances and consumer electronics industry," Kant
said at the 38th annual function of the Consumer Electronics and
Appliances Manufacturers Association (CEAMA).
"That has to become a key driver of growth," Kant added.
Kant
pointed out that in order for further growth to take place,
manufacturing in the appliances and consumer electronics industry has to
be done in the right ecosystem.
"The right ecosystem is that we
are in a globalised world and have to be a part of the global supply
chain... Penetrating export market is the key and you can never do this
without size and scale. Therefore, this industry should think of size
and scale," Kant said in his address.
Expressing his views on the
ease of doing business, he said the government is focussed on making
doing business in the country very easy and simple by dismantling "many
rules, regulations and procedures and paperwork over the years".
"There
is a lot of work in progress. If you look at ease of doing business, or
GST, digital payments, all these are a huge amount of work in progress.
Many of these structural reforms take a little time, but they are all
in the right direction," he added.
"They are all in the direction of making India more efficient, more performing and a more modern economy."
In
the annual function, CEAMA, in association with PricewaterhouseCoopers
(PwC), unveiled a detailed report on "Championing Change in the Indian
Appliance & Consumer Electronics (ACE) Industry" which revealed that
an anticipated compounded annual growth rate of only nine per cent,
manufacturing disabilities and a limited component ecosystem are root
causes of low cumulative value addition.
"The large population
and steep GDP growth over the next five years will be the key driver for
Indian economic pyramid shift towards the top," the report said.
The
report also illustrated the government's push to promote electronics
manufacturing in order to achieve net zero imports, and placing the ACE
industry at the forefront of the Digital India programme.
"This
push has resulted in an increase in domestic manufacturing from Rs
55,765 crore during 2015-16 to Rs 64,752 crore during 2016-17," it
added.
Manish Sharma, President of CEAMA said: "The aim behind
releasing this report was to bring to the fore challenges faced by the
industry in the current environment, and the policy framework needed to
support the continuously evolving business ecosystem especially local
manufacturing."
"The consumer durable industry creates three
indirect jobs for every direct job, thus it needs to work closely with
the government on further improving the local manufacturing framework to
generate more employable labour," Sharma added.

Dear Friends,
So far all Leaders and business people talk about cities and corporate level & Revenue and Taxes.
so far nobody talk about villagers growth and developments.
India is agriculture Country. 60% of the people doing agriculture in INDIA.
if No food no Body can live in the world. If no agriculture no country & No people. First we should develop agriculture industries to reduce our Food products rate & it should reach every one. Food is main & first products to every one. if agriculture and village developed in INDIA, ALL other products will sell in INDIA without any problem.
All villages should be 100% Development like good infrastructure facilities, very good Hospitals, electricity, solar power for streets,land, house, Good drinking water, 100% Education, Subsidiary and loan for agriculture, Cottage industries developments, SSI industries developments, Bank loans with lower interests, All new products knowledge and proper training, Innovations, 100% removable of poverty and below poverty. etc.. if our Govt cover above area , then INDIA IS NO.1 DEVELOPED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. all foreigners will come to INDIA for JOB AND SHOPPING.
