Union Minister Ravi
Shankar Prasad on Sunday said that the global manufacturer ecosystem is
realising that they must have other places apart from China as India is
emerging as a big manufacturing centre.
While interacting with the non-resident Biharis via video conference here,
Prasad said, "India is emerging as a big
manufacturing centre and the global manufacturer ecosystem is realising
that they must have other places apart from China. I am glad to inform that
Apple is shifting to India in a significant way, Samsung has already come and
they further want to expand. I have been told that around eight factories of
Apple have shifted to India from China."
"When we came
to power in 2014, there were only two mobile factories in India, now its number
has crossed 250. We launched Atmanirbhar Bharat with production linked
incentive. We invited global companies to come to India and also Indian
companies to match," he added.
The Union Minister
Prasad said when we talk about Aatmnirbhar Bharat, we don't want an isolated
India but it means - India being a major economy of the world becoming good
economic power to support the global economy.
"I announced
this scheme in April, during the height of COVID and gave July 31 as the last
date for filing applications. They have committed to make mobile phones and
components worth Rs 12 lakh crores in 5 years of which Rs 7 lakh crores worth
products will be exported. It will provide jobs to three lakh in India directly
and nine lakh Indians indirectly," Prasad said.
