The Minister's remarks came at the review meeting on the Production Linked Incentive Scheme, one of the notable initiatives for making India 'Aatmanirbhar' in the manufacturing sector.

He further urged the need for becoming self-reliant in the key sectors covered under the PLI Scheme.

Emphasizing that the Ministries should focus on creating quality skilled manpower instead of focusing on quantity and resolve infrastructure bottlenecks in collaboration with NICDC, Goyal stressed on preparing a roadmap for the next five years, both on investment and disbursement.
