Make in India has completed 12 years since its launch in 2014, marking more than a decade of efforts to strengthen India’s position in manufacturing, design and innovation. The initiative has supported growth in production, investment and industrial capabilities across several sectors.

The programme was later expanded through Make in India 2.0 and now covers 27 sectors, including 15 manufacturing areas and 12 service sectors. Its broader objectives include encouraging investment, supporting innovation, improving infrastructure and simplifying government processes under the approach of Minimum Government and Maximum Governance.

India’s electronics sector has recorded significant growth during this period. Electronics production increased from around ₹1.9 lakh crore in 2014 to more than ₹13 lakh crore in 2025 to 2026. Mobile phone production also rose sharply, increasing from about ₹18,000 crore to ₹6.27 lakh crore during the same period.

The railway manufacturing sector has also expanded. Indian Railways produced nearly 55,000 coaches between 2014 and 2024, while average yearly coach production increased compared with the previous decade. More than 6,600 Linke Hofmann Busch coaches were produced during 2025 to 2026.

Defence manufacturing has seen a major increase as well. Indigenous defence production grew from ₹46,429 crore in 2014 to a record ₹1.78 lakh crore in 2025 to 2026, reaching almost four times the level recorded in 2014 to 2015.

The initiative has increasingly focused not only on increasing domestic production but also on developing the skills, technology, infrastructure and industrial capacity required to manufacture products within India.
