01 · Context

Manufacturing in India: the regulatory framework

Make in India and the PLI programmes have made India attractive for electronics, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, textiles and more, with simpler factory licensing and tax incentives for new manufacturing entities.

Even so, the interaction of factory laws (now the OSH Code), environmental clearances, land rules, SEZ rules, customs and GST makes manufacturing the most regulation-intensive sector for foreign investors.
