Despite the commendable efforts of both state and central governments to push manufacturing investments through a host of policy measures, incentives and marketing campaigns, the Indian manufacturing sector is yet to realise its full potential. The cumulative growth in Index of Industrial Production for manufacturing during April-December 2017, over the corresponding period of 2016, is only 3.8%, according to the ministry of statistics and programme implementation data. One key issue that both Indian and foreign investors have highlighted is the difficulty in securing suitable land for projects. Proposed investments often face the problem of outright non-availability, or they get tangled in the cumbersome allotment/acquisition procedures. To ensure project feasibility, the government must ensure that land is available in a timely manner and at competitive prices. Potential sites available with state industrial bodies suffer from poor connectivity—as they rarely control surrounding infrastructure—and unavailability of skilled manpower, given their remote locations. With the land acquisition for industrial purposes becoming tougher in the country, the situation can quickly spiral downwards in the coming years.

Any investment promotion approach needs to give due consideration towards this major barrier. This is an opportunity for government-owned infrastructure entities to step up. Most infrastructure authorities—including major ports, the railways, airports and road authorities—own significant land banks that are well connected and are ideal locations to facilitate manufacturing units in India. For instance, most countries with long coastlines have successfully leveraged their ports to boost industrialisation. Rotterdam (Netherlands), Antwerp (Belgium), Shenzen (China), Jurong (Singapore) and Pohang (South Korea) are leading examples of this. For India, this represents an untapped opportunity.

What is the main problem put forward by both Indian and foreign investors?

Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.

Is it time to panic ? The natural environment and ecological systems that sustain all forms of life are collapsing, say recent reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change , Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services , Climate Central , and Institute for Public Policy Research . We face criss-crossing crises of climate change, mass loss of species, topsoil erosion, forest felling and acidifying oceans. Global warming threatens more and worse cyclones, droughts, forest fires, floods and climatic shifts, with catastrophic consequences for food, water, livelihoods, housing and health. To limit global heating on 2010 levels to 1.5°C (ideal) or 2°C (minimum) by 2030, anthropogenic emissions must decline by 45%/ 25% before 2030 and reach zero by 2050/ 2070 respectively. The actual trajectories are in the opposite direction. Despite of all the attention, promises (A)/ and action, global carbon emissions climbed (B)/ to a record high last year ; 136 of the (C)/ 184 Paris Pact climate commitments are insufficient  to meet either 1.5°C/ 2°C goal (D). Efforts must increase  threefold to meet the 2°C target, and fivefold for 1.5°C. The poorest people and countries will be hit hardest, with millions locked in a downward spiral of malnutrition, water scarcity and loss of livelihoods. In Asia 237m people, including 36m in India, could face annual coastal flooding__________________  by 2050. In 2015 pollution killed 2.5m Indians . This month, while “gas chamber” Delhi  experienced a public health emergency , Australia witnessed unseasonably early killer forest fires. The need is for transformative action but governments remain trapped in incremental reforms. Because the sacrifices demanded are immediate, real and substantial but the gains are projected, future, generalised and diffused, the logic of individual costs and benefits clashes with the logic of collective action, for citizens and countries. The brutal reality is that the only pathway to reduce emissions on the scale demanded is for poor countries to remain mired in poverty and, in shades of eugenics, to stop breeding; and for sizeable numbers of working and middle class people in rich countries to fall into poverty. In a vicious circle, poor countries lack social security, which makes poor families look to more children as old age insurance, and the growing population exacerbates every dimension of the climate crisis. The domestic politics of persuading citizens in rich and poor to cut or abandon living standards, and the global politics of financial and technology transfers in pursuit of convergence, are fearsomely challenging. Most people fear climate change and want something done – so long as it has no major impact on their lives. In a Washington Post poll , four-fifths accepted climate change is man-made, half agreed that urgent action is needed, but only 40% would make ‘major sacrifices’. Only those whose present is assured will concern themselves more with the future. In conditions of mass Asiatic poverty, climbing out of life-killing conditions now is of higher priority than ensuring a future for succeeding generations. Elevating climate change to the topmost priority is a luxury that countries can afford only after they have climbed the per capita income ladder.

The need is for transformative action but governments remain trapped in incremental reforms. Because the sacrifices demanded are immediate, real and substantial but the gains are projected, future, generalised and diffused, the logic of individual costs and benefits clashes with the logic of collective action, for citizens and countries. The brutal reality is that the only pathway to reduce emissions on the scale demanded is for poor countries to remain mired in poverty and, in shades of eugenics, to stop breeding; and for sizeable numbers of working and middle class people in rich countries to fall into poverty. In a vicious circle, poor countries lack social security, which makes poor families look to more children as old age insurance, and the growing population exacerbates every dimension of the climate crisis. The domestic politics of persuading citizens in rich and poor to cut or abandon living standards, and the global politics of financial and technology transfers in pursuit of convergence, are fearsomely challenging. Most people fear climate change and want something done – so long as it has no major impact on their lives. In a Washington Post poll , four-fifths accepted climate change is man-made, half agreed that urgent action is needed, but only 40% would make ‘major sacrifices’. Only those whose present is assured will concern themselves more with the future. In conditions of mass Asiatic poverty, climbing out of life-killing conditions now is of higher priority than ensuring a future for succeeding generations. Elevating climate change to the topmost priority is a luxury that countries can afford only after they have climbed the per capita income ladder.
