STEERING COMMITTEE FOR LOCAL VALUE ADDITION, MANUFACTURING AND EXPORTS (SCALE)
Sept. 27, 2021
A meeting between industry captains and Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal soon after the national lockdown was announced in 2020, has led to the setting up of the Steering Committee for Local Value Addition, Manufacturing and Exports, or SCALE, aimed at navigating Indian manufacturing away from the import-dependence pitfalls exposed by the pandemic.
About:
The Minister asked Pawan Goenka, the Mahindra group’s managing director till April 2021, to drive this introspection.
The group is now working on such ideas for 17 sectors — from toys, textiles, furniture and e-cycles to drones and even fisheries.
The SCALE includes the top brass from the industry bodies CII, FICCI and Assocham and three representatives from government, with member secretary Manmeet Kaur Nanda from the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).
