View on ‘Make in India’
IOTA extends its full support to the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative by relying less on imports. The company has decided to gradually lower its imports and try to focus more on localised sourcing for its products. It is also doing its best to import fewer finished products, and to import raw materials only in order to manufacture the end product in India. Mahawer believes that Make in India is a modern expansion of Gandhiji’s Swadeshi movement. He says, “Gandhiji asked Indians to discard foreign goods and use what was made in India. PM Modi is going one step further and asking the whole world to come and do their manufacturing in India.”
