Banks are tasked with fostering the expansion of these industries by offering suitable and timely finance.

Start-up India

With the tagline “Start-up India and Stand-up India” The Government of India established in 2016 established the Start-up India initiative.

  • The initiative aims to create a robust environment for catering innovation, promoting long-term economic growth, and creating large-scale employment opportunities. 
  • The government of India’s flagship programme, Start-up India, aims to promote the start-up culture and forge an open, supportive environment for entrepreneurship and innovation in the country. 
  • It aims to assist people or companies that have just launched their start-ups by providing better financing, including tax breaks, and making sure that the establishment of a start-up in India is a quick and easy process. 
  • Start-ups encourage economic growth and wealth creation, job creation, and innovation culture, potentially resulting in the emergence of new industries.

Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI)

The Government Budget for 2021–22 allots Rs. 1.97 lakh crore for PLI programmes, for 13 significant industries during a 5-year period beginning in fiscal year (FY) 2021–22, in order to achieve the goal of “Self-reliant India.”

This technique is used by governments for raising the output of goods that are thought to be crucial for taxation, social welfare, and the creation of jobs. PLIs are merely financial inducements for businesses to boost output.

They could be in the form of tax reductions, lowered import and export duties, or lowered land acquisition standards.

The PLI plan is a government-sponsored programme that encourages domestic and local businesses to develop micro jobs as well as multinational businesses to hire people there and create jobs.

Also, it would support the digital economy, increase exports, protect communication infrastructure, and increase farmer income by twofold.
