NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday brushed aside Opposition’s criticism on ‘Make in India’ scheme saying it is yielding “good results” as the government has taken multiple steps to strengthen the manufacturing sector, including defence production.
Replying to a debate on the supplementary demands for grants and Manipur budget in the Rajya Sabha, she said that production linked incentive (PLI) schemes have yielded good results, as they have so far attracted investments of Rs 1.5 lakh crore and generated nearly 9.5 lakh employment opportunities.
“Make in India has actually given us good results. We took step after step, after step, to strengthen the manufacturing of this country,” she said.
