CII Director General, Mr Chandrajit Banerjee said 'creating livelihoods for the millions of people in the working age group is important from the point of view of inclusive growth and the New Manufacturing Policy would enable just that”.

CII has been advocating the need for a dedicated Manufacturing Policy for a very long time and the Government's decision is one of the most important policy initiatives in recent times. The NMIZ model based policy would provide the necessary enablers that are required urgently to ensure that India becomes a prominent and competitive base for manufacturing, globally, he added.
