Indian Railways — misuse of make in india initiative

Make in india initiative started by pm mr. Narendra modi.

We are railway equipments, a regular supplier to different zonal railways. Under the initiative of “make in india” we took the risk of investing huge amount of money and effort in items that were being imported every time and also items that had just a few number of indian manufacturers. But different officers in all zonal railways found a loophole in the system and included eligibility criteria like “dlw/rdso approved” source only, “only oem or his cnf agent” and the so called “dlw approved” source are only the foreign suppliers.

We took this problem to pmo grievance after being rejected by heads of different zonal railways and no response from mr. Santosh mittal and mr. Piyush goyal. But sadly this system has been going in circles and the response that we got from pmo grievance was to contact the concerned railway officer.

This is just one example of how different officials are using loopholes for their own benefits and making the dream of “make in india” impossible. Not just me, there are many other youngsters who have left their jobs and took the risk of being entrepreneur but have lost their livelihood because of some officers who would rather import then let give indian manufacturers a chance.
