under the Department is at Appendix-II.
Industrial Policy
The Department is responsible for formulation
and implementation of promotional and
developmental measures for growth of the
industrial sector, keeping in view the national
priorities and socioeconomic objectives.
While individual administrative ministries
look after the production, distribution,
development and planning aspects of specific
industries allocated to them, this department
is responsible for the overall Industrial Policy.
The Statement of Industrial Policy 1991,
tabled in Parliament as a Resolution, forms
the basis of the subsequent steps taken by the
Government under the Policy to liberalize and
promote industries over the years, including
the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policy and
the specific National Manufacturing Policy
(NMP) announced in 2011.
National Manufacturing Policy
In order to bring about a quantitative and
qualitative change and to give necessary
impetus to the manufacturing sector, the
Department has notified the National
Manufacturing Policy (NMP) with the objective
of enhancing the share of manufacturing in
GDP to 25% and creating 100 million jobs
over a decade or so. The policy is based on the
principle of industrial growth in partnership
with the States. The Central Government will
create the enabling policy frame work, provide
incentives for infrastructure development
on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis
through appropriate financing instruments,
and State Governments will be encouraged
to adopt the instrumentalities provided in
the policy. The Department has taken up the
implementation of the policy in consultation
with concerned Central Government agencies
as well as the States.
National Investment and Manufacturing Zones
(NIMZs) are an important instrumentality of
the Policy. These zones have been conceived
as large integrated industrial townships with
state-of-the-art infrastructure; land use on
the basis of zoning; clean and energy efficient
technology; necessary social infrastructure;
skill development facilities, etc. to provide a
conducive environment for manufacturing
industries. So far twelve NIMZs have been
granted in-principle approval outside the
DMIC region. Out of which one NIMZ at
Prakasam has been granted final approval.
Government has also launched the
Technology Acquisition and Development
Fund (TADF) as envisaged in the National
Manufacturing Policy on 18th November,
2015 to provide the funding specific to
acquisition and development of clean and
green technologies. The fund will support,
via subsidies, manufacturing of equipment/
machines/devices for controlling pollution,
reducing energy consumption and water
conservation.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policy
The Department of Industrial Policy &
Promotion is the nodal Department for
formulation of the policy of the Government
on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). It is
also responsible for maintenance and
management of data on inward FDI into India,
based upon the remittances reported by the
Role and Functions
Reserve Bank of India.
The FDI policy is reviewed on an ongoing basis,
with a view to making it more investor-friendly.
To attract higher levels of FDI, Government
has put in place a liberal policy on FDI, under
which FDI, up to 100%, is permitted, under the
automatic route, in most sectors/ activities.
Significant changes have been made in the
FDI policy regime in recent times, to ensure
that India remains an increasingly attractive
investment destination. The Department
plays an active role in the liberalization and
rationalization of the FDI policy. Towards
this end, it has been constructively engaged
in extensive stakeholder consultations on
various aspects of the FDI policy.

com), as of 31.12.2015.
Startup India
Economic Survey (2014-15) estimates that
300 million youth will enter the labour force
by 2025, and there is a need to accommodate
the growing proportion of economically
active population. India need to create at
least 10 million jobs every year for the next
10 years to gainfully employ India youth and
meet their aspirations. It identifies the (small)
share of manufacturing in total employment
as a major impediment to the pace of
quality employment generation in India.
Government of India recognizes growth of
entrepreneurship and manufacturing as an
immediate requirement towards gainfully
utilizing Indias workforce.
The concept of a startup has recently caught
the imagination of masses. What actually
constitutes a startup may be widely debated
as ranging from any MSME to technology
driven software companies or entrepreneurs
undertaking disruptive business models. A
report by NASSCOM estimates that there are
about 4200 startups in India. Interestingly,
the overall entrepreneurship activity can be
assessed through various figures. According
to Annual Report 2014-15 of Ministry of
MSME 3,62,991 MSMEs (2,96,526 micro,
5912 small and 7,338 medium) filed EM-I in
2013-14. This number has steadily grown
from 1,72,703 in 2007-08 to 3,62,991 in
2013-14. It is estimated that the number of
enterprises in unregistered sector is much
larger. According to monthly data published
by Ministry of Corporate Affairs 14,682 LLPs
were registered during 2014-15. The number
of LLPs registered in 2015-16 till November,
2015 is 13,813. During 2014-15, 64,395
companies were registered of which 62,897
were private limited companies. The Startup
India initiative specifically targets those
enterprises which are engaged in innovative
business which is defined as development
and commercialization of:-
(a) A new product or service or process; or
(b) A significantly improved existing
product or service or process that will
create or add value for customers or
workflow.
The process of recognition of an entity as
startup has been assigned to various private
players which include
i) Incubators established in a post-
graduate college in India;
ii) Incubators funded by Government of
India under any scheme for promotion
of innovation
iii) Incubation, recognized by Government
of India
iv) Incubation funds/ Angel funds/Private
Equity funds/ Accelerator/ Angel
Network duly registered with SEBI.
In addition, an entity which is funded by
Government of India under any scheme for
promotion of innovation or granted a patent
by the Indian Patent and Trademark Offices
are also recognized as Start-ups.
An action plan to create a conducive
ecosystem for startups in India was released
by the Prime Minister of India on 16th January,
2016. The action plan aims at giving the
Role and Functions
right nudges to the development of various
components of the ecosystem. The Action

Evolution and Development of
Industrial Policy
General Industrial Policy:
The Industrial Policy Resolution of 1948
laid the foundation principles of a mixed
economy. It defined the shape and pattern
of industrialization delineating industries into
public sector and private sector. The Industries
(Development & Regulation) Act, 1951,
provides for the development and regulation
of certain industries in order to direct
balanced investment into desired channels
of industrial activity keeping in view the
national development objectives and goals.
It provided for regulating the production and
development of industries in consultation
with States, Central Advisory Council &
Evolution and Development of Industrial Policy
Development Councils. It also provided for
(a) categorization in industries into various
schedules for licensing, relief, reconstructions.
Within this broad legal framework, detailed
Policies, Rules, Regulations, Procedures
have been formulated. The objectives of the
Industrial Policy formulated from time to
time are (i) to ensure sustained growth &
contribution to GDP; (ii) to enhance gainful
employment & productivity (iii) to attain
international competitiveness; and (iv) to
transform India into a major manufacturing
partner and player in the global arena.
Liberalization, Privatization, Globalization:
To achieve these objectives, the focus at
present is on liberalizing Indian industry by
12
allowing freedom and flexibility to industry
in responding to market forces and facilitate
ease of doing business.
In order to implement the Industrial Policy
Statement of 1991 a Notification No.477(E)
dated 25-7-1991 had been issued under the
Industries (D&R) Act, 1951. The Notification
has three (3) Schedules:

National Manufacturing Policy:
Government of India had announced National
Manufacturing Policy (NMP) in the year 2011
with the objective of enhancing the share of
manufacturing in GDP to 25% and creating
100 million jobs by 2022. The Policy also
seeks to empower rural youth by imparting
Evolution and Development of Industrial Policy
necessary skill/sets to make them employable.
Sustainable development is integral to the
spirit of the policy and technological value-
addition in manufacturing has received
special attention.
NMP provides that the National Investment
and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZ) as well
as the other Industrial Clusters willing to
adopt the parameters laid down in the policy
can benefit from the investment friendly
provisions of NMP.
Make in India Initiative:
In the continuous process of evolution of
Industrial Policy to boost manufacturing,
the Make in India global initiative was
launched on 25th September 2014, to invite
14
both domestic and foreign investors to invest
in India. The initiative was simultaneously
launched in all state capitals and in several
Indian Embassies/High Commissions where
time-zones permitted. A few other Indian
Embassies also organized Make in India
interactions after the launch.
The Make in India initiative is based on four
pillars, identified to boost entrepreneurship
in India, not only in manufacturing but also
other sectors. These are:
(i) New Processes
(ii) New Infrastructure
(iii) New Sectors
(iv) New Mindset
To promote India as a preferred investment
destination in the markets overseas and
to increase Indian share of Global FDI, an
interactive portal http://www.makeinindia.
com for dissemination of information and
interaction with the investors has been
created and is being further enhanced. A
National Workshop with the Industry, States
and all Sectoral Central Ministries to draw
up a plan of Action in the short and medium
term for creating an enabling framework for
stimulating investments in manufacturing was
held on 29th December 2014. Action Plans in
respect of 22 Sectors were announced and
the implementation is being monitored by
the Cabinet Secretariat.
Start-up India
Start-up India is a flagship initiative of the
Government of India, intended to build a
strong eco-system for nurturing innovation
and Start-ups in the country that will drive
sustainable economic growth and generate
large scale employment opportunities. The
Government through this initiative aims to
empower Start-ups to grow through innova-
tion and design. Start-up India conference
was held on 16th January 2016. Honble Prime
Minister has announced a new framework
and Eco systems for Start-ups which has been
widely welcomed by the young Entrepreneurs.
Government of India has announced Action
Plan that addresses all aspects of the Start-
up ecosystem. With this Action Plan the
Government hopes to accelerate spreading
of the Start-up movement (i) from digital/
technology sector to a wide array of sectors
including agriculture, manufacturing, social
sector, healthcare, education, etc.; and (ii)
from existing tier 1 cities to tier 2 and tier
3 cities including semi-urban and rural
areas. The Action Plan is divided across (i)
simplification and handholding; (ii) funding
support and incentives; and (iii) Industry-
Academia partnership and incubation.
Policy for Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI):
For inviting investment for industrial growth to
contribute to higher GDP, an appropriate FDI
Policy is crucial. The Department of Industrial
Policy & Promotion is the nodal Department for
formulation of the policy of the Government on
FDI. It is also responsible for maintenance and
management of data on inward FDI into India,
based upon the remittances reported by the
Reserve Bank of India.
The FDI policy is reviewed on an ongoing basis,
with a view to making it more investor friendly,
in keeping with national interest. With a view
to attracting higher levels of FDI, Government
has put in place a liberal policy on FDI, under
which FDI up to 100%, is permitted, under the
automatic route, in most sectors/ activities.
Significant changes have been made in the
FDI policy regime in recent times, to ensure
that India remains an increasingly attractive
investment destination. The Department
plays an active role in the liberalization and
rationalization of the FDI policy. Towards this
end, it has been constructively engaged in
holding extensive stakeholder consultations
on various aspects of the FDI policy.
During 2015-16, a number of FDI Policy related
reforms were introduced. Insurance and
Pension sectors having foreign investment cap
of 49%, were placed under automatic route.
Investment made by NRIs, PIOs and OCIs
under Schedule 4 of FEMA (Transfer or Issue
of Security by Persons Resident Outside India)
Regulations on non-repatriation basis is now
deemed to be domestic investment at par with
the investment made by residents. 100% FDI
under automatic route has been permitted for
manufacturing of medical devices and White
Label ATM Operations. Further, in order to
provide simplicity to the FDI policy and bring
Evolution and Development of Industrial Policy
clarity on application of conditionalities and
approval requirements across various sectors,
different kinds of foreign investments have
been made fungible under one composite
cap. The Government has also brought in
FDI related reforms and liberalisation in a
number of significant sectors/ areas of the
economy including Defence, Construction
Development, Broadcasting, Civil Aviation,
Plantation, Trading, Banking-Private sector,
Satellites- establishment and operation and
Credit Information Companies.
The FDI equity inflows during April-
December, 2015-2016 stood at US$ 29.44
billion as compared to US$ 21.04 billion in
April-December, 2014-2015.

 Industrial Management and Industrial
Production:
It has been continuous endeavour of the
Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion
to make its functioning Industry friendly. The
Industrial Entrepreneur Memorandum Section
is ISO9001:2008 certified for maintaining the
Quality Policy.
(a) Industrial Entrepreneur Memoran-
dum (IEM):
As per the liberalized policy in place since
1991, all non-MSME Industrial undertakings
(with an investment above ` 10 crore in Plant
and machinery for manufacturing sector and
more than ` 5 crore for service sector) which
are exempt from obtaining an industrial
licence are required to file an Industrial
Entrepreneur Memorandum (IEM) with the
Secretariat for Industrial Assistance.
As a measure to facilitate ease of doing
business, filing of online IEMs under e-BIZ has
been initiated since January 2014. This means
Evolution and Development of Industrial Policy
that the entrepreneurs do not need to travel to
the Ministry at New Delhi and can apply for IEM
online on 24X7 basis. An acknowledgement
is issued within 48 hrs on receipt of Part A
of the IEM form and no further approval is
required, under the Industries (D&R) Act, 1951.
Relevant information is uploaded on website
of the Department and is available in public
domain. Immediately after commencement
of commercial production, Part B of the IEM
is required to be filed.
Filing an IEM is primarily for the purpose of
collecting data about the delicensed sector on
proposed investment, and type of industrial
activity. It is also useful for the purpose
of conducting a limited scrutiny mainly to
preclude manufacturing of a compulsory
licensable/SSI reserved item by IEM route.
16
A total of 87,072 IEMs with proposed
investment of ` 1,00,85,561 crore are on record
as on 31.12.2015. Statewise and sectorwise
lists of IEMs filed during the last five years on
year-wise basis are at Appendices III and IV.
Since the inception of the IEM scheme in
August 1991 till December 2015, a total
of 11,412 units have formally intimated
commencement of commercial production.
The investment reported in respect of these
IEMs is ` 6,46,870 crore. The Statewise report
of implementation of IEMs for the last five
years is at Appendix V.
(b) Industrial Investment Intentions:
The Industrial Investment information
covers the non-MSME category Industrial
Entrepreneur Memoranda for the delicensed
sector and Direct Industrial Licences (DIL) for
licensable sector. Statewise and Sectorwise
details of Industrial Investment Intentions
during the 11th and 12th Plan periods are
given at Appendices VI & VII respectively.
The information on Industrial Investment,
information on IEMs filed on daily basis, etc. is
being disseminated through the Department
website.
(c) Industrial Production:
Industrial Performance
The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) over
the base of 2004-05, measuring industrial
performance monitors production in
manufacturing, mining and electricity sectors
and also in use-based group such as basic
goods, capital goods, intermediate goods
and consumer goods. The growth of IIP has
been fluctuating over the last few years. The
growth in overall IIP, peaked at 15.5 % in 2007-
08 (manufacturing growth rate was 18.4%)
but declined to 2.5 % in 2008-09. However, it
recovered to 5.3 % in 2009-10 and thereafter
improved to 8.2 % in 2010-11. Subsequently,
the industrial growth decelerated to 2.9 %
in 2011-12 and 1.1 % in 2012-13 and the
industrial production again moderated
recording a negative growth of (-) 0.1 % in
2013-14. During 2014-15, IIP recovered and
registered positive growth of 2.8 %. The
details are given below in Table-2.1.

National Manufacturing Policy
The Department notified the National
Manufacturing Policy (NMP) through a
Press Note dated 4th November, 2011 with
the objective of enhancing the share of
manufacturing in GDP to 25% and creating 100
million jobs by 2022. The policy is based on the
principle of industrial growth in partnership
with the States. The Central government will
create the enabling policy framework, provide
incentives for infrastructure development on a
Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis through
appropriate financing instruments, and State
Governments are encouraged to adopt the
instrumentalities provided in the policy.
While the NIMZs are an important
National Manufacturing Policy
instrumentality, the proposals contained in
the Policy apply to manufacturing industry
throughout the country including wherever
industry is able to organize itself into clusters
and adopt a model of self-regulation as
enunciated therein.
Important Instruments/Features of the
Policy
National Investment and
Manufacturing Zones (NIMZs);
Rationalization and simplification of
business regulations;
Simple and expeditious exit mechanism
for manufacturing units;
Incentives for SMEs;
Industrial training and skill upgradation
22
measures;
Financial and institutional mechanisms
for technology development, including
green technologies;
Government procurement;
Special Focus Sectors.
National Investment and Manufactu-
ring Zones (NIMZs)
NIMZs have been conceived as large
integrated industrial townships with state-
of-the-art infrastructure; land use on the
basis of zoning; clean and energy efficient
technology; necessary social infrastructure;
skill development facilities, etc. to provide a
conducive environment for manufacturing
industries. To enable the NIMZ to function
as a self-governing and autonomous body, it
will be declared by the State Government as
a Industrial Township under Article 243 Q (1)
(c) of the Constitution. These NIMZs would
be managed by a Special Purpose Vehicle
(SPV) which would ensure master planning
of the zone; pre-clearances for setting up
the industrial units to be located within the
zone and undertake such other functions as
specified in the various sections of the policy.
The NIMZs would be different from SEZs in terms
of size; level of infrastructure planning; governance
structures related to regulatory procedures; exit
policies; fiscal incentives, etc.
The policy mandates that the SPV in a zone
will be headed by a senior government official
and will include inter-alia an official expert
conversant with the work relating to pollution
control/environmental protection. There shall
be a provision of suitable representation of the
allottees and subsequently industrial units.
Progress made so far with respect to NIMZs
The States have been requested
to identify land banks for setting
up of the National Investment and
Manufacturing Zones and to initiate
the process of rationalization and
simplification of state level business
regulations.
Definition of Cluster to be used for
dispensations under NMP prepared
and circulated to all State Government.
Draft advisory on simplification &
rationalization of business regulations
and skill development has been
prepared and forwarded to MoLE for
further necessary action.
Progress has been made by the
concerned state government in respect
of acquisition of land for the NIMZs
given in-principle approval.
Complete suggestions on simplification
of Labour Laws issued to MoLE.
Draft mechanism for delegation of
power of inspection/enforcement of
labour laws under the relevant Labour
Acts to the CEO of NIMZ has been
prepared and sent to Ministry of Labour
& Employment (MoLE).

of eBiz lies in radical shift by Government

being department-centric to customer-
centric in providing services to the business

Today, starting a new business or setting up a

new industrial unit requires multiple licenses/

across various levels of government. The
information about these services is fragmented in
multiple acts, rules and procedures and scattered
across multiple websites. The mission of eBiz is to

 The eBiz project by DIPP was operationalized
with support from National Institute of Smart
Government (NISG) as the consulting partner
and developed by M/s. Infosys Ltd., Bengaluru
in a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model.
The pilot phase involved setting up of the eBiz
portal and providing 50 services of Central
Government Departments and 5 pilot States
(Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Maharashtra,
Tamil Nadu, and Delhi). Later 5 more states
(Odisha, Rajasthan, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh
and West Bengal) were included in the pilot
phase. In the expansion phase, the portal
will be run on PPP basis through a business
model approved for the project. In this phase,
the project will be expanded to cover the
whole country and to provide over 200 G2B
and other value added services by suitable
private vendors.

Make in India Initiative (2015-16)
Make in India initiative was launched by Prime
Minister of India on 25th September, 2014
to project India as a preferred investment
destination and a global manufacturing hub.
The major objective behind the initiative
is to renew focus on job creation, skill
development, fostering innovation and high
quality standards in the manufacturing sector.
Make in India initiative focuses on four
key areas to promote manufacturing and
entrepreneurship.
Policy Initiatives & New Processes:
A number of initiatives to improve
ease of doing business and promote
entrepreneurship have been taken
under the aegis of Make in India
with the objective of de-licensing and
de-regulating the industry during the
entire life cycle of business.
Robust Infrastructure: Availability of
modern and facilitating infrastructure
is a key enabler for the growth of
industry. Government has announced
various programs to strengthen the
existing infrastructure and develop
green-field smart cities and industrial
corridors.
Focus Sectors: Under the Make in
India, 25 focus sectors have been
identified in manufacturing, services
and infrastructure and detailed sector
Chapter

information is being shared through
interactive web portal. FDI has been
opened up in reserved sectors
like defence production, media,
construction and railway infrastructure
in big way which allow for greater
private sector participation.
New Mind-set/Approach: Make
in India is bringing a paradigm
shift in the way industries perceive
government, the approach of the
government is now of a facilitator and
not a regulator. Under this initiative
various organizations like union
ministries, state governments, private

organizations, regulatory bodies etc.
are collaborating for the economic
development of the country.
The above mentioned focus in key areas
is resulting in a road map for the single
largest manufacturing initiative undertaken
by a nation in recent history. This is also
demonstrating the transformational power of
public-private partnership.
After the initiation of the programme, India is
emerging as the top destination globally for
foreign direct investment (FDI) surpassing top
global economies. India has been ranked as
the most preferred destination for investment
and among the worlds fastest growing
economies by international agencies. (Ernst

in order to showcase the Make
in India initiative amongst global
manufacturers and investors and
alleviate concerns regarding red tape,
consistency of policies, lack of skills
and infrastructure.

industries, especially in the functional clusters/
locations which have greater potential to
become globally competitive. Some of such
policies/schemes/packages of incentives
for development of industries and which
are being currently administered by this
Department are given in this Chapter.
Transport Subsidy Scheme:
The Scheme was introduced on 23.7.1971

Light Electrical Industry Sector
The Light Electrical Industry is a diverse sector
having a number of distinct products and
sub-products. It includes goods like electrical
wires and cables, transmission tower, cranes,
lifts & escalators, refrigerators, washing
machine, air conditioners, storage batteries,
dry cell batteries, electrical lamps & tubes etc.
A brief on some of these industries is given
below:-
64
Electrical wires and cables
Electrical wires and cable industry is one of the
oldest industries established in the country
in the field of electrical products. A wide
range of wires and cables are manufactured
in the country which includes communication
cables such as jelly filled telephone cables,
optic fibre cables, local area network cables,
switchboard cables, coaxial cables, VSAT
cables, electrical cables such as electrical
wires, winding wires, automotive/battery
cables, UPS cables, flexible wires, low voltage
power cables and EHT power cables. The
power cable industry may be mainly divided
into four segments viz: house wiring (up to
440V), LT (1.1 to 3.3kV), HT (11 to 66kV), EHV
(66kV and above). Well-established R & D
facilities are key factors for development of
this industry. In India, renowned laboratories
like Central Power Research Institute (CPRI),
and Electrical Research and Development
Association (ERDA) are well equipped with
the most advanced product testing facilities
meeting international standards.
The production of insulated cable & wires of
all kinds in 2014-15 was 64.55 lakhs core km.
and in 2015-16 (April-December) was 49.32
lakhs core km. The export and import of wires
and cables (HS code. 7413 & 8544) in 2014-
15 was Rs. 4306.74 Crore and Rs. 3133.45
crore respectively whereas in 2015-16 (April-
November) the same was Rs. 3133.45 crore
and Rs. 3597.69 crore respectively.
Transmission Towers
Transmission towers support high voltage
transmission lines which carry electricity over
long distance. These lines typically feed into
the sub-station so that the electrical voltage
can be reduced to a level that can subsequently
be used by consumers. There is an increasing
trend in India to have larger power stations, Lifts and Escalators

almost all sectors across the industry. Wide
range of cranes are manufactured in the
country and these include Electric Overhead
Traveling (EOT) cranes, mobile cranes, ladle
cranes, hydraulic decks, crab cranes, floating
cranes, controller cranes, etc. There is a good
potential for growth of this sector in view of
increased industrial activities in various fields
as well as construction industry.
The production of cranes in 2014-15 was
17063.63 tonnes and in 2015-16 (April-
December) is 9829.85 tonnes. The export
and import of cranes (HS Code No.8426) in
2014-15 was Rs. 689.23 crore and Rs. 1852.07
crore respectively whereas in 2015-16
(April-November) the same was Rs. 658.67
crore and Rs. 1464.30 crore respectively.
In India, refrigerators have the highest
aspiration value of all consumer durables with
the exception of television. The refrigerator
Industry has become highly competitive. A
number of brands have entered the market
and the consumers have wide choices. There
are two basic designs adopted in refrigerators
presently being manufactured in the country.
These are commonly referred to as Direct
Cool (DC) and Frost Free (FF) Refrigerators.
There has been a gradual shift in consumer
preference towards frost free segment. Due
to an increase in the number of dual income
households there is a shifting trend in the
demand from conventional 180L refrigerators
to the larger 220L and higher capacity
refrigerators with double doors.

65
 The production of refrigerators in 2014-
15 was 92.34 lakh and in 2015-16 (April
December) was 61.59 lakhs. The export
and import of refrigerators (HS Code 8418)
in 2014-15 was Rs. 1689.67 Crore and
Rs. 2379.37 Crore respectively whereas in
2015-16 (April-November) the same was Rs.
1048.77 Crore and Rs.1634..84 Crore respectively.
Washing Machines
The washing machine market in India can be
divided into two semiautomatic and fully
automatic. With rising disposable incomes
and higher aspirations, there is a gradual
shift towards higher capacity washing
machines and also towards fullyautomatic
washing machines. Controls are changing
from purely mechanical to fully electronic
as microcontrollers are incorporated into
the designs. While providing intelligence,
microcontrollers boost reliability, drive down
costs and improve energy efficiency.
The production of washing machines by units

lakh and in 2015-16 (April-December) was
33.50 lakh. The export and import of washing
machines (HS Code 8450) in 2014-15 was Rs.
266..91 crore and Rs. 924.53 crore respectively
whereas in 2015-16 (April-November) the
same was Rs. 224.20 crore and Rs. 655.15
crore respectively.
Air Conditioners
Air Conditioners are gradually being treated
as a necessity in the socio-economic
environment with changing life style. The
airconditioners market can be classified
into three segments: window AC, split AC
and central AC. The split ACs are gaining
popularity due to limitation of space and
increase in number of people living in flats

in multi-storied complexes and also due to
less noise. Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE),
a statutory body under the Ministry of Power
has introduced energy efficiency based star
rating for air conditioners to help consumers
buy the best energy efficient products.
The production of air conditioners by units
in the organized sector in 2014-15 was
26.50 lakh and in 2015-16 (April-December)
was 16.66 lakh. The export and import of
air conditioners (HS Code 8415) in 2014-15
was Rs. 799.79 crore and Rs. 5372.07 crore
respectively whereas in 2015-16 (April-
November) the same was Rs. 606.85 crore
and Rs. 3206.65 crore respectively.
Lead Acid Storage Batteries
Lead Acid Batteries are accumulators of
current and power which is discharged over a
period of time. They are used in vehicles and
also for various industrial uses such as for back
up power for UPS application, control rooms,
power stations, telecommunications, etc. In
addition, it is also used for emergency lights
for houses, telephone systems and as power
source for mining etc. A new application
of Lead Acid Batteries has emerged today
in electric vehicles. The average life of the
battery is approximately 2 years, hence these
batteries will be needed as replacement
throughout the life of the vehicle or the
machinery in use. Although there are few
large scale manufacturers of the product in
India, there are large numbers of very small
scale units manufacturing the product in
a most unorganized manner. The product
manufactured by them normally does not
meet the required standards as specified by
BIS. In order to ensure safe disposal of lead
acid batteries, Ministry of Environment and
Forests notified the Batteries (Management
and Handling) Rules, 2001 under Environment
(Protection) Act 1986.
The production of lead acid batteries by the
units in the organized sector in 2014-15 was
860.45 lakh and in 2015-16 (April-December)
was 627.50 lakh. The export and import of
lead acid batteries (HS code 8507) in 2014-
15 was Rs. 1231.97 crore and Rs. 3365.44
crore respectively whereas in 2015-16 (April-
November) the same was Rs. 789.54 crore
and Rs. 3262.20 crore respectively.
Dry Cell Batteries
Dry cell batteries are one of the most
commonly used items. These are the
oldest type of batteries which are still being
used. Performance of dry cell batteries
has undergone progressive improvements
through technological developments. New
types of dry cell batteries with longer shelf
life and greater dependability and also
rechargeable cells have come up. Nickel
cadmium batteries and other rechargeable
batteries are manufactured in the country
to meet the requirement of defence,
telecommunications and electronics. The
growing popularity of cellular phones, laptops
and imported toys could open the market for
a new range of batteries that are not produced
at present.
The production of dry cells in 2014-15
was 21036.22 lakh and in 2015-16 (April-
December) was 15240.99 lakh. The export
and import of dry cell batteries (HS Code
8506) in 2014-15 was Rs. 93.59 crore and Rs.
672.41 crore respectively whereas in 2015-
16 (April-November) the same was Rs. 44.94
crore and Rs. 394.57 crore respectively.
Electrical Lamps and Tubes
Wide range of lamps and tubes are being
manufactured in the country which include
general lighting service lamps such as
incandescent bulbs, halogen lamps, gas
discharge lamps such as fluorescent tube
light, compact fluorescent lamp, high
pressure mercury vapour lamps, metal
halide lamps, low pressure and high pressure
sodium vapour lamps and variety of special
lamps. The higher energy cost have led to
the development of energy efficient lamps
consuming less power and giving output
as close to daylight. Compact Fluorescent
Lamps (CFL) which consume about 20% of the
electricity for the same light output and last
up to 8 times longer than the GLS are getting
more popular. LEDs have a great potential
to provide highly efficient lighting with little
environmental pollution in comparison to the
incandescent lamps (ICLs) and fluorescent
lamps (FTLs, CFLs). Penetration of LEDs in
India could significantly reduce lighting load
as almost 22-25% of electricity is consumed
for lighting, which is also a major contributing
factor of peak demand. Due to higher costs,
Industries and Industrial & Technical Development
LEDs are not very popular even though its
production has started in the country.
The production of General Lighting Services
(GLS) Lamps by units in the organized
sector and fluorescent tubes in 2014-15 was
7369.05 lakh and 1954.45 lakh respectively. In
2015-16 (April-December) production of GLS
lamps by the units in the organized sector
and fluorescent tubes was 5000.15 lakh
and 1494.90 lakh. The export and import of
electric lamps and tubes (HS code-9405) in
2014-15 was Rs 902.56 crore and Rs. 2447.20
crore respectively whereas in 2015-16 (April-

Salt Industry
Introduction
India is the third largest producer of salt in the
world after China and USA with an average
annual production of about 240 lakh ton. It
is the second largest producer of iodized salt
after China, with an average annual production
of 60 lakh ton. At the time of independence,
there used to be a shortfall in production of
salt which was met through imports. Since
then, India has made tremendous progress in
production of salt, achieving self-sufficiency
in 1953 and exporting salt to other countries.
Salt is one of the essential items of human
consumption. The per-capita consumption
Industries and Industrial & Technical Development
of salt in the country is estimated to be 14
Kg, which includes edible and industrial salt.
The current annual requirement of salt in
the country is estimated to be 63 lakh ton
for edible use (including requirement of
cattle) and 120 lakh ton for industrial use.
India exported 56.76 lakh ton of salt valued
at Rs.838.67 crore during 2014-15 & during
2015-16 (up to December) exported 46.37
lakh ton, valued at Rs.566.30 crore.
Salt is manufactured mainly by solar
evaporation of seawater, sub-soil brine and
lake brine. Sea salt constitutes about 82% of
the total salt production in the country. Salt
manufacturing activities are carried out in the
coastal states of Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Andhra
Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Orissa, West
75
 Bengal, Goa and hinterland State of Rajasthan.
The 3 major salt producing States are Gujarat
(81%), Tamil Nadu (8.5%) and Rajasthan (8%),
which also cater to the requirement of other
States.
Cess is levied on Salt at the rate of Rs.3.50
per ton, under Salt Cess Act 1953. Salt
works having an area up to 10 acres set up
by individuals or group of individuals are
exempted from the payment of Cess. Similar
salt works setup over 10 acres but up to 100
acres are given 50% concession on the cess
payable. Salt exported to foreign countries is
also exempted from payment of cess.
Private sector contributes to more than 93%
of the salt production, the public sector about
1.3% and the co-operative sector, about 5.5%.
Production
The targeted and actual production of salt
during the last five years are as under :

Salt works and area under Salt
Production
There are about 11848 salt works of which only
5.7% i.e. 681 are big salt works contributing
about 67.6% of total salt production of the
country and remaining 32.4% of the total
salt production is contributed by the small
salt manufacturers. The total area under salt
production is about 6.15 lakh acres.(Patta land,
State Govt. land, Port land, Salt Department
land). Of this 58569 acres land belongs to
Salt Department for manufacture of Salt.
The manufacturing activities provide direct
employment to about 1.04 lakh persons.
Distribution of Salt
Railways play an important role in transporting
salt from the three major salt producing
States to others. About 65% of edible salt is
transported by rail from production centres
and the remaining quantity by road/sea route
. Salt is transported by rail under Preferential
Traffic and sponsored programmes on
requirement basis. Railways grant graded
concession in freight for transportation of
non-refined iodized salt depending upon
distance.
Iodized Salt
For human consumption, edible salt needs
to be iodized to prevent and control Iodine
Deficiency Disorders (IDD). SCO has been
identified as the Nodal Agency for creation
of adequate salt iodization capacity,
monitoring production and quality of iodized
salt at production centres and monitoring
distribution of iodized salt in the country, under

a) A General Purpose Component of US $
0.1 million which is utilized by UNIDO
for its technical cooperation activities
in developing countries.
b) A Special Purpose Component of US $
1.1 million utilized for implementation
of projects in India.
Country Programme of Cooperation
between the Republic of India and
UNIDO-2013-17
The Country Program of Cooperation between
the Republic of India and UNIDO -2013-17
is under implementation. The Program aims
at raising the competitiveness of industrial
enterprises through technology-oriented
initiatives to increase productivity, quality,
energy efficiency, occupational health and
safety and the environmental sustainability
of industrial production. Country Programme
2013-17 has two programmatic component
viz (i) Green Industrial Development of India
and (ii) Inclusive Economic Development
with Cross-cutting themes. The Country
Programme 2013-17 is under revision as
some new projects have emerged and some
projects have been discarded. Now, the
revised budget for the projects to be taken
under Country Programme 2013-17 stands at
US$ 170.31 Million.
In June, 2015 the National Steering Committee
United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO)
of UNIDO Country Programme desired to
revise Country Programme 2013-17 in order to
streamline the activities and reflect the recent
developments of Technical Co-operation
portfolio. In addition to the planned expansion
of the TC activities in energy and environment
areas, the landmark establishment of ICISID
was highlighted together with its related
activities for technology promotion in those
industrial sub-sectors, i.e., leather, cement,
pulp/paper and bicycles, which have been
funded by DIPP. Accordingly, revision of
Country Programme 2013-17 is in final stage
with Budget of US$ 170.31 Million.
The CP cycle was kept for 2013-2017 in view
of the fact that the 12th Five Year Plan by the
Government of India as well as United Nations
81
 Development Action Framework (UNDAF)
are formulated and implemented within the
same cycle.
The revised CP was prepared in the form of an
Addendum reflecting the recent political and
strategic priorities of the Government of India,
highlighting those important initiatives (such
as Make in India, Smart Cities, etc.), reviewing
the programmes and projects formulated and
implemented since September 2013 with a
revised list of projects. The current status of
CP in terms of volume of funds is US$ 170
million, almost 70% increase in comparison to
the original CP budget (US$ 101 million). The
expansion of the UNIDO portfolio is expected
in 2016 through the ICISID.
UNIDO International Centre for
Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial
Development (ICISID)
In 2015, UNIDO, together with DIPP,
Government of India, launched the UNIDO
International Centre for Inclusive and
United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO)
Mr Amitabh Kant, Secretary, DIPP, inaugurating the ICISID office on August 27, 2015, accompanied
by Mr Philippe Scholtes, Managing Director, UNIDO and other DIPP and UNIDO officials
82
Sustainable Industrial Development (ICISID)
by the merging two previously existing UNIDO
Centres in India, namely, the International
Centre for Advancement of Manufacturing
Technology (ICAMT) and the UNIDO Centre
for South-South Industrial Cooperation
(UCSSIC).
The two Centres had different but
complementary functions. ICAMT
implemented development projects in
India to strengthen the productivity and
competitiveness of Indian MSMEs through
technology-led interventions, while UCSSIC
facilitated the transfer and diffusion of
appropriate Indian industrial technologies
to partner beneficiary countries, in particular
African, Latin American and the least
developed countries (LDCs).
In line with the Lima Declaration of 2013
towards Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial
Development (ISID) at the 15th Session of the
UNIDO General Conference and responding
to the new development priorities of the
Government of India, these two centres
have been merged and re-modeled into a
single Centre to foster a holistic approach
to interlinked development strategies. The
Centre was operationalized in April 2015 and
formally inaugurated on August 27, 2015.
The ICISID aims at increasing industrial
competitiveness through technology
upgradation, innovation, generation of
decent jobs for men and women, and
sustainable environment and energy
access. Key components include technology
demonstration and transfer of the state-of-
the-art technologies suitable in the Indian
context, enhancement of technical capacity
and skills of the Indian technical institutions
& industries, and enhancement of industrial
competitiveness through adoption of best
practices and appropriate measures such
as improved and cleaner manufacturing
processes, waste management, energy
efficiency etc.
UNIDO will play an important role synergising
with ISID agenda and Government of Indias
initiatives, such as:
i. Make in India, Smart Cities Industrial
Corridors and Cluster Development
programmes across the value chain
forward linkages;
ii. Strive for strengthening public-private
partnership, including capacity
building of MSMEs;
iii. Transfer of technologies and know-
how and also resource mobilization in
the long run.
Portfolio of projects under ICISID
The portfolio of projects under ICISID
comprises two sets: (i) three new projects for
the Indian industries under DIPP and (ii) three
ongoing international projects under the
South-South framework.
Projects for Indian industry: To start with,
three new projects have been launched in
2015, covering leather, cement and pulp
& paper sectors/clusters to improve their
competitiveness, as mentioned below:
i. Kanpur Leather Development project
2015-17 (with Central Leather Research
Institute as a Indian technical partner)
ii. Development and adoption of
appropriate technologies for
enhancing productivity in the Cement
sector (with National Council for
Cement and Building Material as an
Indian technical partner)
iii. Development and adoption of
appropriate technologies for
enhancing productivity in the Paper
and Pulp sector (with Central Pulp &
Paper Research Institute as an Indian
technical partner)

Foreign Direct Investment
FDI Policy
The Government has put in place a liberal
policy on FDI, under which FDI, up to 100%,
is permitted, under the automatic route, in
most sectors/activities. There is a small list of
sectors, which are either prohibited for FDI,
or are subject to restrictions in the nature of
equity caps, entry route or conditionalities.
Further, the FDI policy is reviewed on an
ongoing basis, with a view to making it
more investor-friendly. Significant changes
have been made in the FDI policy regime in
recent times, to ensure that India remains an
increasingly attractive investment destination.
DIPP plays an active role in the liberalization
and rationalization of the FDI policy. Towards
this end, it has been constructively engaged
in extensive stakeholder consultations on
various aspects of the FDI policy.
Government plays an active role in investment
promotion, through dissemination of
information on the investment climate
and opportunities in India and by advising
prospective investors about investment
policies and procedures and opportunities.
With a view to liberalize and simplify the
FDI policy, so as to provide ease of doing
business in the country leading to larger
FDI inflows, the Government has brought in
FDI related reforms and liberalization of the
various sectors / areas of the economy during
the year 2015:

creativity or innovation. India has a well-
established legislative, administrative and
judicial framework to safeguard Intellectual
Property Rights which meets the countrys
international obligations while utilizing the
flexibilities provided in the international
regime to address its developmental concerns.
Indias comprehensive legal framework on IPRs
includes the Patents Act 1970, the Trade Marks
Act 1999, the Geographical Indications of
Goods (Registrations and Protection) Act
1999, the Designs Act 2000, the Copyright Act
1957, the Semiconductor Integrated Circuits
Layout Design Act 2000 and the Protection of
Plant Varieties and Farmers Rights Act 2001.
This Department is also responsible for

envisages a key role for design in enhancing the
competitiveness of Indian industry. The focus
is on spread of design education, branding
of Indian designs and the establishment of a
Design Council. This period witnessed both
the expansion and upgradation of Indias
premier design institution i.e. the National
Institute of Design (NID) with three campuses
at Ahmedabad (Institute), Gandhinagar (PG
Institute Campus), and Bengaluru (R&D
Institute Campus). Intake of students at

National IPR Policy
India has a well-established legal framework
to safeguard Intellectual Property Rights
(IPRs) which meets its International
obligations while utilizing the flexibilities
provided in the international regime to
address its developmental concerns. Indias
comprehensive legal framework on IPRs
includes the Patents Act 1970 (as amended),
the Trade Marks Act, 1999, the Geographical

priorities which have evolved over the time.
However, with a view to stimulate innovation
across the sectors in the country and also to
provide an assurance to the domestic as well
as foreign investors of existence of a stable
IPR regime in the country, this Department

Board (IPAB). After consultations with various
Ministries/Departments concerned and
other stakeholders, the IPR Think Tank had
submitted the first draft IPR Policy to this
Department on 19.12.2014. Comments were
invited from all concerned on the said draft IPR
Policy. Based on the comments / suggestions
received and taking into account the other
requirements, the IPR Think Tank submitted its
Final Report on the draft National IPR Policy
to this Department on 18.04.2015. Thereafter,
this Department has obtained the comments

For the first time, the Indian GIs were
showcased on an International Forum at
World Intellectual Property Office, Geneva,
Switzerland during the General Assembly.
The GI products were also exhibited during
the Global Exhibition on Services held at
Pragati Maidan, New Delhi and Global IP
Congress, at New Delhi.
Other Initiatives
The Department took the initiative of
showcasing Indian Geographical Indications
(GIs) at various international fora. They were
first displayed at the Global Exhibition of
Services held in Delhi in April, 2015. Buoyed
by the positive response, a kaleidoscopic
array of GIs registered in India were displayed
during the 55th Series of meeting of the
Assemblies of the Member states of World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) at
Geneva from 5 to 10 October, 2015 under the
aegis of Make in India. The main objectives of
the Exhibition broadly were:
i) To exhibit the creative, intangible
and unparalleled inventive marvels
of Indian artisans/ craftsmen on an
international platform,
ii) To give the much needed push
to registered Indian GIs in the
international market.
The Indian GI pavilion showcased a range of
Indian agricultural and handcrafted products
in different sectors viz. agricultural produce,
food products, handicrafts, handlooms,
manufactured products and natural products.
There were live demonstrations of creativity
by 8 artisans, while the opening ceremony saw
enchanting cultural performances even as the
guests relished Indian cuisine. The event was
the first of its kind and showcased Indian art
and craft in a unique way. The artistic and
magical skill, expertise, dexterity of the Indian

Administration of the Boilers Act, 1923
The Department of Industrial Policy &
Promotion is responsible for administration
of the Boilers Act, 1923 (5 of 1923) and the
rules/ regulations made thereunder.
The Boilers Act was enacted in 1923 to
provide mainly for safety of life and property
from the danger of explosion of boilers and
for achieving uniformity in registration and
inspection during operation and maintenance
of boilers throughout the country. Up to year
2007, there had been no major amendments to
the Act and the legislation needed changes in
consonance with the evolving developments
and changes in the technology of fabrication,
testing, inspection and operation of boilers.
The Indian Boilers (Amendment) Act, 2007
(49 of 2007), introduced improvements in
the provisions of the law to enhance safety
norms, to ensure uniformity in standards
of inspection, expediting inspections
and reducing bureaucratic delays by
decentralization of inspection of boilers
during their manufacture, erection and use,
by allowing inspection and certification by
the independent inspecting authorities.
Rules and regulations had already been
framed for third party inspection and now
qualification and experience for competent
persons have been rationalized to facilitate
increase in availability of competent persons
for third party inspection. Inspection by
Chapter
13
the third party inspecting authorities and
competent persons has been implemented in
the country and it has already started in many
states. This has resulted in a simplified and
more accessible, user - friendly framework for
the administration of the Boilers Act and has
also protected manufacturers/users interests
without sacrificing the safety of boilers.
For Ease of Doing Business, the concept of
self-certification and third party inspection
of boilers has been taken up with the
State Governments. Madhya Pradesh,
Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Odisha,
Goa, Jharkhand, Rajasthan & Telangana
Governments have already implemented the
Administration of the Boilers Act, 1923
self-certification/third party inspection of
boilers during use . This will benefit a broad
spectrum of industries both in large and small
scale sector which includes Power plants,
Chemical plants, Refineries, Paper plants,
Steel plants, Sugar mills and other process
industries.
Several forms have been simplified and
amendments have been introduced in the
Indian Boiler Regulations, 1950 to simplify
registration of boilers and to minimize paper
work for boiler manufactures and users.
Inspection process during manufacture
of boiler & boiler components has been
streamlined and simplified. Regulations have
also been amended to increase time period
between inspections requiring mandatory
113
 shut down of the boilers in power plants and
continuous process plants which will result in
increase in production from these plants.
Various inspection fees under the Boilers
Act 1923/Indian Boiler Regulations, 1950
have been revised for increasing revenue
generation for State Governments.
Central Boilers Board
Central Boilers Board, constituted under
Section 27A of the Boilers Act, 1923 (5 of
1923) is responsible for making regulations
consistent with the Act including for laying
down the standards for material, design,
construction as well as for registration and
inspection of boilers. The Board comprises of
the representatives of the Central and State
Governments, Bureau of Indian Standards,
Boiler and boiler component Manufacturers,
National Laboratories, Engineering
Consultancy agencies, users of Boilers and
other interests connected with the Boiler
Industry.
Administration of the Boilers Act, 1923
Secretary, Department of Industrial Policy
and Promotion is the ex-officio Chairman and
Technical Adviser (Boilers) is the ex-officio
Member-Secretary of the Board.
Board deals with the problems of both the
users and manufacturers and takes policy
decisions for proper growth of the boiler
manufacturing industry in the country. Board

Tariff Commission
The present Tariff Commission in India is the
result of the refinement and amalgamation of
the functions of its predecessor organizations
namely, Tariff Board, Tariff Commission (old)
120
and Bureau of Industrial Costs & Prices (BICP).
The Commission is presently being headed by
Member Secretary in the rank of Additional
Secretary. Tariff Commission provides useful
inputs for informed decision making in areas
having an impact on the manufacturing sector
and other economic activities in the country.
The Department of Industrial Policy &
Promotion after the review of role of Tariff
Commissions by the Honble Commerce &
Industry Minister has decided to strengthen
it to enable the Commission to continue to
provide useful inputs for informed decision
making by the Commerce and Industry
Ministry with regard to manufacturing and
other Ministries of Government of India.
The Tariff Commission is actively involved in
Inverted duty structure studies for various
products.
The Tariff Commission has been engaged in
discharging the following functions drawn
from the TOR/ charter revised in September
1998 and April, 1999.
(a) To make recommendations as an
expert body, on matters referred to
it by Government regarding fixation
of tariff and all tariff related issues in
relation to trade in goods and services,
keeping in view the interest of various
sectors including production, trade and
consumers and taking into account
the international commitments. The
Commission should aim at evolving
an overall tariff structure and look into
the issue of tariff rationalisation.
(b) To make a detailed impact analysis on
select sectors like textiles, agriculture,
and automobiles information
technology, chemicals, steel and
engineering goods through a multi-
disciplinary team.
(c) To carry out technical studies on cost
of production of different goods and
services and their competitiveness in
relation to other countries.
(d) Core function of BICP including pricing,
efficiency, improvement and cost
reduction, issue of Public & Private
sector, Industrial Product & Services
i) Commodities under Administra-
tive Pricing Mechanism(APM)
ii) State monopolies/public utilities
iii) Government procurement
iv) Price monitoring
v) Others
(e) To undertake other tasks as may be
assigned by the Government from
time to time.
Tariff Commission is an organization
with unique structure of multi-
disciplinary teams as below and a
methodology for conducting in-depth
study using data based on ground
realities collected from field :-
Engineers from the field of Science
and Technology belonging to
Tariff Commission cadre
Cost Accountants/Charted acco
untants from Indian Costs &
Account Service (IC&AS)
Economists from Indian Economic
Service (IES); and
Statisticians from Indian Statistical
Service (ISS).
Tariff Commission is the only Government
organization which has the know-how and
expertise of using the tool of normation for
informed decision making across the board for
different sectors of the industry. Normation is
based on assessment of achievable efficiencies
i.e optimal capacity utilization, productivity
parameters of respective inputs (such as man,
material, energy and machine) taking into
account technologies and manufacturing
processes etc. Normation analysis thus can
be used to benchmark sectors /units for
enhancing their competitiveness.
Merits of decision making through Normation
include:
Considered fair by an individual
and/or a group.
Determining the cost of goods/
services at optimal/efficient
level of inputs (manpower,
material, energy and capital) and
provides thrust for improvement
in efficiency and enhances
competitiveness of the industry.
It helps in identifying areas for
physical improvements leading
Attached & Subordinate Offices and other Organisations
to enhancing competitiveness
Normation is a fundamental
management tool that supports
quality/excellence and innovation.
It is in fact a continuous
process of measuring ones
own performance and practices
against the best competitors. It
is thus a bench-marking tool in
competitiveness studies.
Normation balances the
interest of all stakeholders while
protecting consumer interest.
It is a tool which also focuses on
providing road map for improving
industrial efficiency.
121
 Over the period this tool has
passed the test of time and has
become essential in the emerging
complex global market scenario
and cutting edge competition.
Tariff Commission always endeavours to
deliver study reports in a definite time frame
in a phased manner so that the findings are
real time and relevant for arriving at policy
decisions and not rendered redundant with
the passage of time. This is ensured by
phasing the studies and making them State
specific and/or sector /unit/product specific.
Study topics which are of continuing nature
and require submission of study reports on a
continuous basis are listed below:
a) Studies on inverted duty structure
b) Impact assessment of Free Trade
Agreements on different sectors with
different countries.
c) Studying competitiveness (including
export competitiveness) of different
sectors/industry, firm/PSU and
product.
d) Impact of prevailing tariff structures on
domestic manufacturers and industry
competitiveness
The Commission has submitted the following
reports to various Govt./Referral Agencies
during 2014-15 .

them a facility to send their application online
to the concerned office of PESO in India. In
this process, to provide e-filing to external
stakeholder, the internal application has also
been completely revamped with additional
features.
Under SMPV (U) and Petroleum Rules, an
initiative for Competent Persons has also
been launched. This initiative has streamlined
the online generation of test certificates by
competent persons to a great extent. The
generated certificates also get linked to
respective license file at the time of processing
of applications. During processing, PESO
officers can view certificates issued by the
competent person online and can also verify
his signature with the online record. This
eliminates scope of forgery in the certification
process.
Controller General of Patents, Designs
and Trade Marks
The Controller General of Patents, Designs
and Trade Marks (CGPDTM) administers the
Patents Act, 1970, the Designs Act 2000, the
Trade Marks Act 1999 and the Geographical
Indications of Goods (Registration and
Protection) Act, 1999. The Office of Controller
General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks
is located at Mumbai. The CGPDTM also
advises the Government on matters relating
Attached & Subordinate Offices and other Organisations
to Intellectual Property Rights. The Patent
Information System and the Rajiv Gandhi
National Institute of Intellectual Property
Management (NIIPM), both located at Nagpur
come under the purview of the CGPDTM. The
CGPDTM supervises the functioning of:
a. The Patent Offices (including the
Designs Wing) at Chennai, Delhi,
Kolkata & Mumbai.
b. The Patent Information System (PIS)
and National Institute of Intellectual
Property Management (NIIPM) at
Nagpur.
c. The Trade Marks Registry at
Ahmedabad, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata &
Mumbai and
145
 d. The Geographical Indications Registry
(GIR) at Chennai.
The Government has taken several initiatives
to modernize and streamline the intellectual
property administration in the country in
view of the strategic significance assumed
by intellectual property in the context of
globalization and liberalization of the Indian
economy and the increasing thrust on
innovation and creativity. These include both
legislative and administrative measures to
create a modern facilitative set-up. Under
the modernization project of IPO , four IPO
buildings at Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and
Chennai and new building for Rajiv Gandhi
National Institute of Intellectual Property
Management (RGNIIPM) at Nagpur have
been completed. The construction of a new
building for Trade Marks Registry and IP
Archive at Ahmedabad and ISA/IPEA building
at New Delhi in the existing premises of IPO
have been completed.
Besides strengthening online search in
Attached & Subordinate Offices and other Organisations
the Patent Office database, novelty search
facilities have been strengthened by
subscribing to various patent and non-patent
databases. Digitization of old IP records is
almost complete and the current records are
being digitized immediately after filing and
stored in the electronic database. Almost all
IP information has been made available to
the public on the official website. In order to
increase the efficiency and disposal of patent
applications, 248 more Examiners of Patents
and Designs were selected during the year
2011-12 out of which 164 had joined . The
present strength of examiners of P & D in the
Patent Office is 130 . Under the 12th Plan, 373
additional posts have been created in Patent
Office including 252 posts of Examiners of
Patents & Designs and 76 posts of Controllers,
146
while in Trade Marks Registry 108 additional
posts have been created which includes 62
posts of Examiners and 15 posts of Senior
Examiners of Trademarks & Geographical
Indications, along with posts of supporting
staff at various levels, as required in both
the offices. The selection procedure for all
459 vacant posts of Examiners of Patents &
Designs through the written examination has
been completed by National Productivity
Council has already been completed and the
process for sending appointment orders by
the Office of CGPDTM is going on at present.
The office is making all out efforts to fill up
all vacant posts in Patents and Trademarks
including those created under 12th plan.
Awareness creation is one of the major planks
of the modernization scheme, as it educates
IP stakeholders of the benefits of registration
of their rights as also educates the general
public, particularly the business community.
These programmes are also expected to
sensitise the enforcement agencies such as
state police forces, customs, judiciary, etc.
During the year 2014-15, IPO has either
organized or participated in programmes.
Out of these, programmes were organized
and funded by IPO which include WIPO- PCT

The World Intellectual Property Organization
(WIPO), a United Nations agency specialized
in the field of Intellectual Property Rights,
in its General Assembly meeting held
in September-October 2007 at Geneva
recognized the Indian Patent Office as an
International Searching Authority (ISA) and an
International Preliminary Examining Authority
(IPEA) under the Patent Co-operation Treaty.
This puts India in an elite group of 17 Patent
Offices recognized as ISAs and IPEA. Patent

Office has started functioning as ISA/IPEA
at Patent Office Delhi with effect from 15th
October, 2013.
During 2014-15, 519 international applications
choosing India as ISA were received in Patent
Offices at four locations whereas during the
period from April to December 2015, 520
international applications choosing India as
ISA have been received in Patent Offices at
four locations.
A comprehensive and dynamic Patent Search
Portal has been developed in the IPO website.
The patent search facility in the website has
been considerably strengthened. The status
of patent applications including publication,
examination and grant as well as all post-
publication patent documents are available
148
freely for public search in the website. A
modified portal for E- Register of Patents has
been made available in the website.
Many dynamic utilities for patents have been
made available in the website for the benefit of
the public like, displaying the month of filing
of Request for Examination for which First
Examination Report is being issued; knowing
the group-wise and location-wise dates of
Requests of Examination (RQ) for which First
examination Report (FER) has been sent to the
applicants; displaying the status on disposal
of patent applications by the respective
examination groups during the specified
period. The utility for facilitating search to
ascertain the status of a patent has also been
provided. Besides, the facility for displaying
patents, which have expired or ceased to have
effect by reason of failure to pay the renewal
fee has been provided by their number, title
and technical / scientific field. Also, the
facility for viewing First Examination Report
(FER) issued (Jurisdiction and Group-wise) at
all locations of Patent Office has been made
available. A Stock and Flow based Dynamic
Utility for Patent has been made available
to provide the applicants/stakeholders with
the facility on real time basis to view the
Patents under different stocks and the flow of
applications at various stages of processing.
The comprehensive e-filing facility covering
all Forms was made available earlier by IPO
for patents and for trademarks. Further, 10
% surcharge in fees on physical filing has
been introduced through the amendment of
Patents (Amendment) Rules 2014 with the
objective of promoting online filing . Because
of these initiatives, the online patent filing has
increased to about 79 % during 2014-15 and
82 % 2015-16.

National Council for Cement and
Building Materials
National Council for Cement and Building
Materials (NCCBM) is a cooperative research
organization registered as a society under
the Societies Registration Act, 1860. The
Council provides scientific, technological and
industrial services support to the cement,
related building materials and construction
industries, and carries on its activities through
its Units located at Ballabgarh, Hyderabad
and Ahmedabad.
NCBs activities are carried out through the
170
following six Programme Centres:
Cement Research and Independent
Testing (CRT)
Mining, Environment, Plant Engineering
and Operation (CME)
Construction Development and
Research (CDR)
Industrial Information Services (CIS)
Continuing Education Services (CCE)
Quality Management, Standards and
Calibration Services (CQC)
Some of the major activities during the year
2015-16 are as under:
Cement Research and Independent
Testing
Investigations on cement containing
nano particles and cement based
nano-composites are continuing.
Investigations on the effect of
different surfactants/dispersants on
the dispersion of Carbon Nano Tubes
(CNT) in cement have been taken up.
Evaluation of OPC-CNT blends are also
under study.
Investigations on development of
composite cement has been taken
up using 40 to 60 % clinker, 35 to
55% combined mixes of fly ash and
granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS)
and gypsum. Cement blends (17 Nos)
prepared have been evaluated for their
physical properties and performance
characteristics up to 360 days such
as fineness, setting time, compressive
strength, soundness, sulphate
expansion and heat of hydration
as per test procedures specified in
relevant Indian Standard. At higher
clinker replacement level, though the
compressive strength development in
 composite cement samples at initial
ages was lower as compared to control
PPC and PSC, there is improvement
in the compressive strength at later
ages. The reduction in compressive
strength values at initial ages may be
attributed to dilution effect, where as
the improvement in strength values
at later ages can be due to synergetic
effect of addition of fly ash and GBF
slag together. Another set of raw

 roadmap for CO2 emissions reduction
in the cement industry. The road
map identified 5 key levers that can
contribute for reduction in carbon
emissions, namely alternative fuel
and raw materials (AFR), thermal and
electrical energy efficiency, substitution
of carbon intensive clinker with
low carbon cementitious materials,
waste heat recovery (WHR) and
newer technologies. NCB conducted
assessment of technology papers
identified in Indian Cement Technology
Road Map at identified cement plants
and the scope for reduction in clinker
factor was investigated and the
recommendations provided.
A study has been carried out on
elimination of formation of white
pieces / powder and clinker balls in
kiln. Analysis of plant data on process
and operating parameters, quality of
raw materials, kiln feed and clinker,
indicated that the hourly variation in kiln
feed LSF and high reducing condition
at the kiln inlet, is considered to be
major factors leading to formation
of yellow core or white pieces in the
clinker. High temperature (11800C)
at kiln inlet is a factor contributing
to ball formation and entrapment of
calcined feed inside the clinker balls.
NCB has provided recommendations
for process improvement and raw mix
design for elimination of white pieces
and white powder.
Studies has been carried out on use
of mechanical mixer for testing of
compressive strength (at fixed w/c
ratio) and other properties of cement
samples (as per ISO procedures)
and comparative evaluation with
test results obtained as per Indian
standards. The samples of PPC and
PSC have been collected from cement
plants and characterised for chemical
and physical properties as per Indian
Standard test methods. A comparative
study on physical testing of these
cement samples by using mechanical
mixer and as per Indian standard and
ISO test procedures is in progress.
Studies has been carried out on
evaluation of a by-product waste
generated during the process
of beneficiation of clay from a
manufacture site for its utilization in
place of natural sand in construction
and in the manufacture of cement.
The study showed that sand samples
before and after washing were found
to show properties similar to the
natural sand conforming to the limits
as per IS:383-1970. It was found that
