DE-LICENSING *
The electrical machinery industry has been de-licensed, along with 100% FDI allowed in this sector. This has facilitated the entry of major global players into the electrical machinery industry in India.
VISION 2022 FOR THE INDIAN ELECTRIC MACHINERY EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY *
To make India a preferred country for the production of electrical equipment. It also aims to achieve a production target of USD 100 Bn by balancing the trade deficit.
Areas of focus include:
- Technology and R&D
- Lowering of customs duties on a range of equipment
- Setting up of the Electrical Equipment Skill Development Council (EESDC)
- Establishment of electrical equipment industry clusters
- Enhancement of product-testing infrastructure in the country
- Provide credit support to economically less-developed export markets.
Scheme on Enhancement of Competitiveness in the Indian Capital Goods Sector- Phase-II *
- The Scheme provides assistance to Common Technology Development and Services Infrastructure has a financial outlay of INR 1207 crores with Budgetary support of INR 975 crore and Industry Contribution of INR 232 crore to expand and enlarge the impact created by Phase I of Capital Goods scheme, thereby providing greater impetus through the creation of a strong and globally competitive capital goods sector.
- 8 Centres of Excellence (CoEs) established in Phase -I of the Scheme for Enhancement of Competitiveness in the Indian Capital Goods Sector.
- 2 Centres of Excellence (CoEs) sanctioned in Phase -II of the Scheme for Enhancement of Competitiveness in the Indian Capital Goods Sector.

STATE INCENTIVES *
Apart from the above, each state in India offers additional incentives for industrial projects. Incentives are in areas like subsidized land cost, relaxation in stamp duty, exemption on the sale/lease of land, patent subsidy, power tariff incentives, a concessional rate of interest on loans, investment subsidies/tax incentives, backward areas subsidies, special incentive packages for mega projects, etc.
EXPORT INCENTIVES *
Various incentives are provided under Export Promotion Capital Goods scheme, Duty Remission scheme, Focus Product scheme, Special Focus Product scheme, Focus Market scheme.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT *
Steps taken for Skill Development, such as setting up of Electrical Equipment Skill Development Council (EESDC), would help to bridge the skill gap required for critical manufacturing. It has a clear objective to enhance exports.
AREA-BASED INCENTIVES *
The government approved 15 SEZs for the engineering sector, and electrical machinery is a part of the sector. Further, development of Delhi –Mumbai Industrial sector is expected to provide a big boost to the engineering sector.
