With the objective of making the country a manufacturing hub for domestic and foreign companies, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is launching the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government's "Make in India" campaign today.
From top honchos of large Indian conglomerates like the House of Tatas, the two Reliance Groups and the Aditya Vikram Birla empire to chief executives of some of the best-known global companies like Mercedes, Airbus, Vodafone, Honda and Samsung are in attendance at the event where Modi will make a strong pitch for investments.
This apart, the assembled corporate guests will also get to meet and interact with some ministers in the prime minister's council, holding key portfolios in areas like finance, commerce, industry and infrastructure.
The "Make in India" initiative will act as a first reference point for guiding foreign investors on all aspects of regulatory and policy issues and assist them in obtaining regulatory clearances.
