Government launched “Automotive Mission Plan 2006-2016″ (AMP 2006-2016) in January 2007. The Vision of the Mission Plan is to make India “emerge as the destination of choice in the world for design and manufacture of automobiles and auto components with output reaching a level of US$ 145 billion accounting for more than 10% of the GDP and providing additional employment to 25 million people by 2016”.
The Mission Plan has identified various interventions/prescriptions to promote investment, exports, domestic demand, human resource development, labour reforms and for creating R&D infrastructure in the country, at both the industry as well as the Government level, to achieve the milestones/targets laid down in the AMP 2006-2016.
It also seeks to remove the infrastructural impediments which inhibit growth of the industry and to put in place the required infrastructure well in advance to facilitate growth of the sector.

Another significant initiative of the Government to put Indian Auto Industry on the global map has been the initiation of the National Automotive Testing and R&D Infrastructure Project (NATRIP) at total cost of Rs. 1718 Crore.
The objectives of setting up of the e-Biz Portal are to provide a number of services to business users covering the entire life cycle on their operation. The project aims at enhancing India’s business competitiveness through a service oriented, event driven government-to-business (G2B) interaction.
The project involves setting up a comprehensive and integrated portal with services across central, state and local governments that address all the needs of the businesses and industries.

The Project will be for duration of 10 years. The pilot phase of the project will be completed within one year from the date it takes off and will provide 29 services at all three levels as indicated above.
Subsequently the project will be expanded in the next 2 years throughout the country and cover all the services required by business houses. Finally, during the last 7 years of the project, it will be operated in a public-private partnership (PPP) mode with suitable arrangements for revenue sharing.
