Speaking on the occasion, Sibal said, “It is important to boost manufacturing and government is trying to promote manufacturing to create employment and bring in latest technologies in the country to serve the domestic market as well as export. Finalisation of MSIPS application in such a short span of time will help create the right atmosphere for more investment attraction in the ESDM sector in India.”

Expressing happiness to be one of the first three to receive benefits under MSIPS, Varun Manwani, director, Sahasra Group, says, “This proves the fact that the government is not favouring the MNCs or the big companies only. Even an Indian company can get benefits from the government.” Although Sahasra was initially skeptcal in applying for MSIPS benefits, Varun is now delighted that they have taken the right step at the right time. “This should be a message to the companies who are still hesitant to apply that the goverment is doing its bit, now it is the turn of the industry to lend support to the government as together we can make india the next manufacturing hub,” he adds.
