Restarting India: In conversation with Amitabh Kant on PLI-PMP schemes and modernising railways
Sep 3, 2020 2:32 PM

Restarting India -- a CNBC-TV18 special show -- focuses on planning and policy initiatives needed to take India back on the road to growth. In the episode, the focus is on the government's plan to push ahead with an umbrella policy for performance linked incentive (PLI) schemes as well as a phased manufacturing programme.

The PLI scheme is likely to cover nine sectors including capital goods, white goods and tech products. The phased manufacturing programme or PMP will focus on special manufacturing parks and benefits for the MSME sector among others.

Today we take a look at the government's plans for railway modernisation, where it is hoping to bring in PPP investment worth at least Rs 30,000 crore and allow private operators to procure, operate and maintain allocated trains. Amitabh Kant, CEO of NITI Aayog discusses plans to modernise major railway stations and set up dedicated freight corridors.
