India set to approve $1.2 billion incentive plan to make building equipment, sources say

India is set to launch a $1.2 billion incentive scheme to stimulate local manufacturing efforts. This initiative aims to draw in $1.8 billion of new investments over the next seven years, focusing on essential machinery such as tunnel boring machines and fire-fighting equipment. A major goal is to lessen reliance on imports, particularly from China, while establishing local value-addition targets for machines that are fully imported.
