CII Survey – Resumption Of Economic

Activity During Lockdown 2

The CII survey was conducted to

determine the effectiveness of the exit

from lockdown in specified zones and

sectors and elicited responses from

across the country, covering many

sectors and enterprises of all sizes. A

majority of respondents stated that

guidelines issued by the Ministry of

Home Affairs on 15 & 16 April on

operational zones in rural and urban

areas are clearly communicated by

state governments. 57% agreed that

they had clarity while 28% noted that

partial information was available. Only

15% stated that incomplete or no

communication was made available,

noted the CII survey. For sectors

allowed to function, 46% of the CII

surveyed enterprises said that permits

are either not provided or are delayed.

However, over two-fifths of

respondents received permits

smoothly. Movement of workers and

raw materials emerged as key hurdles

in restarting businesses.

CII Report - Indian API Industry- Reaching

the Full Potential

The report lays down pillars required to

make India a manufacturing hub for

APIs and making the nation self-

sufficient. As a short and mid-term

measure, CII recommends to grant

“infrastructure status” to the bulk drug

industry and create common minimum

infrastructure facilities in the form of 4-

5 integrated large-scale clusters to

manufacture critical APIs/

Intermediates and KSMs to achieve

economies of scale. CII further

recommends government support on

capital intensive fermentation based

API industry and dedicated clusters for

the same. Single window clearance

system for establishing an API

manufacturing unit and further product

development, priority environmental

clearances for APIs with definite

timeline, soft loans with long

repayment periods, 20-25% percent

incentives on API Manufacturing are

imperative.

jungles to enter Goa despite its borders being sealed. Inspector General of Police, Mr Jaspal Singh said that law enforcers cannot reach everywhere, and

so they have called on residents of border villages to be their eyes and ears,

to keep a watch on the borders, like those in other states do as well.

Coalition for Ventilators and PPEs

Confederation of Indian Industry has formed a coalition with Society of Indian

Automotive Manufacturing (SIAM), Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers (SIDM), Indian Machine Tools Manufacturers Association (IMTMA), Automotive

Components Manufacturers Association (ACMA) for augmenting the inventory of

Ventilators and Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) through manufacturing and/or

importing of the same by the high-end manufacturing companies as current

capacity of healthcare companies have limited capacity/volume for producing these products vis-a-vis estimated requirement during this crisis of COVID-19.

The Coalition has taken three pronged actions for augmenting the inventory of ventilators and PPEs as follows:

Action 1

Consortium of industry who would like to import Ventilator/PPEs

immediately.

Action 2

Consortium of existing Ventilator/PPE manufacturing companies who

are producing ventilators and PPEs to maximize their capacity of

manufacturing.

Action 3

Consortium of manufacturing companies in automobile, machine tools,

defense/aerospace sectors who will utilize their plant and machinery to

produce the ventilators in large quantity.

Action 4

Consortium of National laboratories/institutions like DRDO, ISRO, CSIR, IITs, Incubators for transferring matured technologies to industry for

mass-manufacturing.
