PRODUCTION LINKED INCENTIVE SCHEME - MAJOR BOOST TO LOCAL MANUFACTURING

 Considering the National Industrial Classification, there are 24 sub-categories in the Indian manufacturing sector. These categories comprise motor vehicles, beverages, textiles, chemicals, food products, electrical equipment, computer, furniture, and electronic products, among others. It is expected that India's manufacturing sector is anticipated to show strong growth over the past few years. Moreover, the sector's Gross Value Added (GVA) at current prices was estimated at US$ 397.14 billion in FY2020 with 0.3% Y-o-Y growth.

In November 2020, the Indian government publicized the "Production Linked Incentive Scheme", worth Rs. 145,980 crores (US$ 19.7 billion) incentives to attract companies to established manufacturing plants in the local market. The production linked incentive will be accessible to 10 sectors: automobile and automobile components, telecom, textiles, drug manufacturing, food, white goods like air conditioners and LEDs, advanced chemistry cell batteries, specialty steel, electronics, and solar photovoltaic modules, and textile. Under the scheme, cash subsidies will be offered to companies as a percentage of incremental sales from the base year (the year when the scheme comes into effect). The incentive rate will depend on each sector's 'disadvantage' in domestic manufacturing and vary from sector to sector.

The Union Cabinet, led by the honorable Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has revealed the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme in the following ten critical sectors for Enhancing India's Manufacturing Capabilities and Enhancing Exports under the tagline of "Atmanirbhar Bharat."

Expecting Results from Production Linked Incentive Scheme

The production linked incentive scheme was aimed to increase India's global share in the medical devices and pharmaceuticals industry while reducing high import dependency on critical APIs and medical devices. 

The Indian Government would expect to extend an incentive of 5% on incremental goods sales produced in India and covered under target segments to eligible companies for five years. The scheme and the guidelines were later revised and modified, keeping in suggestions and comments from industry experts to ensure the industries' effective participation.

Ensuring the scheme's resounding success in these sectors, the scheme has now been extended to 10 more sectors to boost production and make the manufacturers globally competitive by creating economies of scale and improving these sectors' efficiencies. This is expected to fuel India's exports and make India an integral part of the global value chain.

Under the current scheme, various domestic and foreign companies will receive financial incentives to set up manufacturing units and produce in India. The scheme will help create an enabling manufacturing ecosystem that will establish backward linkages and promote the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) sector. This, in turn, will boost India's growth and economic prospects and significantly improve the country's employment opportunities.

The successful implementation of the scheme, which will provide incentives and targeted strategies to promote the ten champion sectors, would make India a global destination for manufacturing in the post-Covid-19 world.

E-HEALTH: THE BOOM IN DIGITAL HEALTH TO DUISRUPT LIFE SCIENCES AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY

  E-Health is an developing field in the intersection of public health, medical informatics, and business, mentioning to health services and data delivered or enhanced through the Internet and connected technologies. In the broader sense, the term characterizes a technical development and a state of mind, a way of thinking, an attitude, and a commitment for networked, global review, to recover health care locally, regionally, and globally by using information and communication technology. The 5 e's in "E-Health" Efficiency  - one of the promises of e-health is to increase efficiency in health care, thereby decreasing costs. One possible way of reducing costs would be by avoiding duplicative or unnecessary diagnostic or therapeutic interventions through enhanced communication possibilities between health care establishments and patient involvement. Enhancing quality  of care - increasing efficiency involves not only reducing costs but at the same time improving quality. E-

HYDROGEN STORAGE - A DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

  Excessive expectations have been met with disappointment in the past with hydrogen technologies. Nonetheless, a rising body of research suggests that these technologies are a viable choice for deep decarbonization of global energy systems, with recent cost and performance advances pointing to economic viability. The cost of producing, transporting, and storing hydrogen has decreased dramatically. This is complemented by an increase in clean technology regulations. As a result, we predict that hydrogen technology will gain traction, particularly in the transportation and alternative energy generation sectors. The transition to a sustainable energy economy needs an energy carrier capable of large-scale carbon-free energy transfers. Hydrogen is a sustainable energy carrier with the potential to benefit the whole energy sector. However, storing significant amounts of hydrogen is difficult. There are numerous obstacles to overcome in order to achieve a cost-effective hydrogen cycle. Hydro
