Summary:

India is getting ready to introduce a "Made in India Brand Scheme" to boost homegrown production and lessen reliance on imports in several important industries. At the CII Annual Business Summit 2026, DPIIT Secretary Amardeep Singh Bhatia unveiled the program, which seeks to identify approximately 100 items that are either not produced in India or are produced in insufficient amounts. To promote both domestic and international production, the government has shortlisted items such as motorcycle parts and car axles. With a dedicated logo and certification system that guarantees standards and value addition, the program will establish a quality-backed identity. Positive outcomes from a steel industry pilot led to plans for a wider rollout following stakeholder engagements. The government encourages FTAs, robust supply chains, and global hubs for AI investments.
