To ensure we make India a serious manufacturing hub, we must ‘perform consistently’.  Indians are good at performing but performing consistently is a more desirable trait.

In an interview with OEM Update, Vikas Kundra, MD, ZAIPL Pune, India shares his views on the “Make in India” and what the government should do in a broader sense.
A great mission statement, but lots to be done“Make in India” is a good initiative promoted by the government. We have a mission statement but a lot of initiatives need to be taken at the ground level before it can become a reality. For the  engineering industry to make a difference in the global market, we should strive towards becoming a global engineering hub, as we have resource of a young manpower that has the drive to achieve success, coupled with engineering skills and the ability to communicate in English. However, India needs a conducive environment for ‘Make in India’ to become a success in the next decade.
Allow single window clearanceMr Kundra suggests, “The most important aspect, I strongly believe, which should be the first priority of the government is “Making-It-Easy” to conduct business India. The regulatory framework should include a real single window clearance for a new factory to be set-up. We need labour law reforms to ensure that the draconian laws do not hamper the industry. We need simplified tax laws that the government is working to implement the GST, which should help eliminate the complex tax structure so that the business in India is not hampered. India requires a focused approach on providing basic infrastructure like power, drinking water, sewage lines and treatment plants, roads, airports and waterways, Internet connectivity.”
‘Perform consistently’ more significant than ‘Performing’“To ensure we make India a serious manufacturing hub, we must ‘perform consistently’.  Indians are good at performing but performing consistently is a more desirable trait. We need the resources and there are challenges against each one of them,” Mr Kundra opines.
