Make in (Clean) India

How Make in India will benefit Cleaning Industry ?

Among the 25 sectors included in the Make in India mission, Cleaning as an industrial segment has neither been identified nor has any mention. The identified sectors are automobile, auto components, aviation, biotechnology, chemicals, construction, defence manufacturing, electrical machinery, electronic systems, food processing, IT &BPM, leather, Media & entertainment, mining, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, ports, railways, energy, roads & highways, space, textile, tourism & hospitality and wellness. However, when contacted by Clean India Journal, Dushyant Thakor, GM-Invest India said, “Regardless the industry type, Make in India is all about easing the access. As far as manufacturing cleaning equipment and tools & accessories is concerned, it will come under the manufacturing industry and hence, will be benefitted by the Make in India initiative.”

“To have a start-up or to start a cleaning company in India, you do not need to get any industrial license. One needs to register unde
r IEM and the person will receive the acknowledgement within a week,” informed Arun Mahendru, Sr. Development Officer (Engg.), IP&IC-IV (including FIPB cases for Africa,) DIPP. Industrial License has now been limited to defence and explosives only and environmental clearance is also being limited to very few industries.

Cleaning Market to grow manifold 

Cleaning-Market-to-growInvestors from all around the globe have welcomed the initiative, declaring India their next ID. For the cleaning entrepreneurs, investors and industrialists, it is a win-win situation. Besides making it easy to set-up a plant, huge investments made in the rest 25 sectors will provide a ready market to tap.

Tom Enders, CEO-Airbus has announced to team up with Mahindra Defence Systems Ltd. This will be the first private Indian helicopter manufacturer under the ‘Make in India’ initiative. The stake will be as per the current FDI guidelines.

Airbus Defence and Space has also submitted a joint proposal with Tata to produce the modern C295 aircraft in India as a replacement for the ageing Avro aircraft of the Indian Air Force. The Division also plans to develop and manufacture electronic sensors with a partner in India, and has advanced discussions to support Hindustan Aeronautics’ combat aircraft programmes.

General Electric will invest around `3000 crore in Maharashtra as part of the Make in India programme.

Taiwan-based niche smartphone and tab maker HTC finally does a Samsung and will manufacture mobile handsets in the country. The company in agreement with Global Devices Network will set up a manufacturing and assembling unit in Noida.

Taking Make in India campaign in cognizance, Spice Group, a leading home-grown mobile conglomerate announced an investment of `500 crores to set up a manufacturing unit in Uttar Pradesh or operations include Samsung, Hitachi (setting up an autocomponent plant in Chennai), and Huawei.

France-based LH Aviation has also signed an MoU with OIS Advanced Technologies to set up a manufacturing plant in India to manufacture drones.

In line with the Centre’s move, the Maharashtra Government has initiated Make in Maharashtra campaign. While investing more than `100 crores,  investors will have the facility of one window clearance under the ‘MAITRI’ (Maharashtra Industry, Trade & Investment Facilitation Cell) scheme to give all the approvals required for new industries within 30 days.

Volkswagen, one of the largest Automakers has further setup a plant for manufacturing small segment cars in Chakan.

Leading global chocolate maker Mars Incorporated is investing `1,005 crore in a greenfield project to make chocolates at Khed city, near Pune.

Under Railways, investments have been done for Rail Wheel Plant at Bela, manufacturing traction alternators for High horse Power at Vidisha forged wheel factory at Raebarelli and Rail Spring Karkhana.

So far, there is no clear picture, how much investment is being made to calculate the exact market potential coming out for the cleaning industry. Given the fact that Pharmaceutical industry spends 1.4-2% on cleaning & hygiene, and rest of the sectors 0.4-1.2%, Make In India project will create a minimum of $1 billion market for the cleaning industry.

Out of 12 million youths coming out to the job market annually, India has been able to create only 1.2-2 million jobs. Huge market let down by policy paralysis. “Make in India will create nine crore jobs over the next five years. Better employability quotient will deliver best-in-quality products,” said Chanda Kochhar.
