\"Easier<\/div>\n
New Delhi: The government is streamlining the visa norms for all companies in the 14 sectors under the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh said Thursday.<\/p>\n

This will include all companies even the ones which are not beneficiaries under the PLI scheme but have set up manufacturing units across the 14 sectors covered under the scheme.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have already got a streamlined process for PLI beneficiaries<\/a>. We\u2019re trying to get it extended to other non-PLI beneficiaries operating in those same strategic sectors,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n

Stating that the government is in the process of drawing up a similar streamlined process for those kinds of non-PLI beneficiaries in the PLI sector as well, he said: \u201cA final decision hasn\u2019t been taken but we\u2019re moving in that direction. Hopefully, it will be done\u2026Visa is a Ministry of External and Home Affairs subject,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n

The move assumes significance as industry has sought the government\u2019s intervention to resolve visa-processing delays in case of Chinese technicians who are needed to operate machines here. DPIIT has taken up the issue with the external affairs ministry.<\/p>\n

The PLI scheme covers 14 sectors, including mobile phones, pharmaceuticals, white goods, telecommunications, textiles, automobiles, drones and specialty steel.Tesla, EV<\/strong>
Singh said the government has not heard from Tesla since the election results, on its plans to participate in the recently launched Scheme to Promote the Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars in India.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tweet after election is the last we have heard from Tesla,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tesla chief Elon Musk cancelled his much-hyped visit to India in April. Musk, who was scheduled to visit India April 21-22, postponed his visit at the last moment citing \u201cvery heavy Tesla obligations.\u201d He had been scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the visit. Musk went on a surprise visit to China a week later.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe process of finalising the guidelines is on by the heavy industry ministry. They have more than any one inquiry. It was meant to be a generic policy,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n

On March 15, the government approved an EV policy under which duty concessions will be given to companies setting up manufacturing units in the country with a minimum investment of $500 million. Under this, a company will get three years to set up manufacturing facilities and start commercial production of EVs, reaching 50% domestic value addition (DVA) within five years at the most.<\/p>\n

FDI easing<\/strong>
Singh further said that the government is looking at further liberalising foreign direct investment (FDI) and internal discussions are ongoing regarding the same but did not mention the sectors being considered.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, India allowed 100% FDI in the space sector.
