<h1>Industrial Growth Rebounds: From -0.1% to 2.1% with FDI Boosts in Defense, Railways, and More.</h1> The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) shows fluctuating industrial growth in the country, with a decline to -0.1% in 2013-14 but a subsequent rise to 2.1% in the current year. To boost industrial growth and job creation, the government has implemented policy amendments and procedural simplifications, including changes in industrial licensing and FDI policies. Notable measures include allowing up to 49% FDI in defense, 100% in railway infrastructure, and easing FDI norms in construction and medical devices. The Make in India initiative aims to enhance manufacturing through 25 sectors, supported by an Investor Facilitation Cell and improved ease of doing business.
