, the government's think tank, which is in the final stages of preparing a road map for the mission, is likely to propose creation of a pool of skilled workforce and a strict monitoring mechanism to oversee progress across identified sectors.
Officials said discussions are also on to put in place an overarching body with representatives from the Centre, states and the private sector to ensure all future initiatives in manufacturing are aligned with the government's vision to significantly boost the share of manufacturing in India. The idea is to leverage the expertise of the private sector to drive manufacturing in India, they said.
'The final round of consultations are being done by the Niti Aayog on what the remit and structure of the mission should be,' a senior government official told ET on condition of anonymity. The mission will emphasise a strong public-private partnership, with the private sector playing a lead role in policy interventions, implementation and monitoring, among others.

According to the official, the mission is expected to focus on frontier technologies as well as micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to boost India's share in global manufacturing and help the country become part of the international value chain in the identified sectors.
TARGETS, INTERVENTIONS
Policy interventions across identified sectors could include reducing regulations and cost of compliance, besides offering sops, to build world-class manufacturing infrastructure, according to people in the know. Five-year and 10-year targets will be set for these sectors keeping in mind the domestic and global demand, and regular monitoring of these targets will be done at the highest level, they said.
The government envisions manufacturing to account for 25% or $7.5 trillion by 2047, when the Indian economy is expected to be $30 trillion.

Trump signals support for Israeli PM Netanyahu's Gaza takeover amid global criticism
US President Donald Trump has signalled tacit approval for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to take over the Gaza Strip, framing it as an Israeli decision amid growing international criticism, The Hill reported. While committing the US to lead humanitarian aid efforts amid Gaza's dire crisis, Trump refrained from opposing Israel's military expansion in the region. "As far as the rest of it, I really can't say. That's going to be pretty much up to Israel," he said earlier this week, The Hill added.

"There's a lot of common objectives here. There is some, I think, disagreement about how exactly to accomplish those common objectives," he said. Netanyahu dismissed international criticism, stating, "We are not going to occupy Gaza - we are going to free Gaza from Hamas." He vowed to establish a peaceful civilian administration independent of Hamas or the Palestinian Authority to secure hostages' release and prevent future threats. Live Events Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir warned the Cabinet the occupation could endanger hostages and entrap the military but committed to executing the plan "in the best possible way." The Israeli public remains divided, with many doubting the operation will end Hamas's rule or secure hostages. Opposition leader Yair Lapid called the Cabinet's decision a "total disaster." In Washington, bipartisan support for Israel persists, but Netanyahu's war strategy and the humanitarian toll have eroded some public opinion, with voices like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene calling the conflict a "genocide." Sen. Bernie Sanders gained increased support for blocking arms sales to Israel. Saudi Arabia condemned Netanyahu's Gaza takeover plan, denouncing the "crimes of starvation, brutal practices, and ethnic cleansing" against Palestinians. Mediators from Egypt and Qatar, collaborating with the US, are reportedly drafting a ceasefire framework involving the release of hostages in exchange for ending the war and Israeli withdrawal, The Associated Press reported. Will Todman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies warned of the risks of a prolonged Israeli occupation without a clear exit plan, saying, "Unless the United States changes its stance, I think ultimately, Israel will continue with this plan."

The complaint was filed by Pinki , a resident of Chanakyapuri, Delhi, who, along with her husband and two other family members, booked tickets on December 27, 2024, for Rs 48,739 through a travel agency for travel from Baku to Delhi. On January 2, 2025, Pinki boarded the IndiGo flight and found her seat dirty and unhygienic.

As an alternative, the air hostess offered Pinki an isolated seat in the 14th row and extended a sincere apology. Live Events On January 13, Pinki sent a legal notice to the airline. After receiving no satisfactory response, she approached the district commission, alleging that the harassment and emotional distress during the flight caused her considerable mental anguish. She also claimed the poor quality and detrimental service in the international sector amounted to misconduct and reflected sub-standard services. IndiGo contended that the problem was resolved immediately, as the complainant had been shifted to another seat. However, the commission reiterated that dirty seating arrangements still constituted a direct violation of consumer expectations and contractual obligations. The commission further noted that under civil aviation requirements, any airline registered in India must provide a responsive and functional grievance redressal mechanism along with a dedicated helpline number, in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
