CII Survey – Resumption Of Economic
Activity During Lockdown 2
The CII survey was conducted to
determine the effectiveness of the exit
from lockdown in specified zones and
sectors and elicited responses from
across the country, covering many
sectors and enterprises of all sizes. A
majority of respondents stated that
guidelines issued by the Ministry of
Home Affairs on 15 & 16 April on
operational zones in rural and urban
areas are clearly communicated by
state governments. 57% agreed that
they had clarity while 28% noted that
partial information was available. Only
15% stated that incomplete or no
communication was made available,
noted the CII survey. For sectors
allowed to function, 46% of the CII
surveyed enterprises said that permits
are either not provided or are delayed.
However, over two-fifths of
respondents received permits
smoothly. Movement of workers and
raw materials emerged as key hurdles
in restarting businesses.

CII Report - Indian API Industry- Reaching
the Full Potential
The report lays down pillars required to
make India a manufacturing hub for
APIs and making the nation self-
sufficient. As a short and mid-term
measure, CII recommends to grant
“infrastructure status” to the bulk drug
industry and create common minimum
infrastructure facilities in the form of 4-
5 integrated large-scale clusters to
manufacture critical APIs/
Intermediates and KSMs to achieve
economies of scale. CII further
recommends government support on
capital intensive fermentation based
API industry and dedicated clusters for
the same. Single window clearance
system for establishing an API
manufacturing unit and further product
development, priority environmental
clearances for APIs with definite
timeline, soft loans with long
repayment periods, 20-25% percent
incentives on API Manufacturing are
imperative.

Goa police has roped in villagers from border areas to keep a strict vigil on
people trying to enter the state illegally during the lockdown. People from the

jungles to enter Goa despite its borders being sealed. Inspector General of Police, Mr Jaspal Singh said that law enforcers cannot reach everywhere, and
so they have called on residents of border villages to be their eyes and ears,
to keep a watch on the borders, like those in other states do as well.

Coalition for Ventilators and PPEs
Confederation of Indian Industry has formed a coalition with Society of Indian
Automotive Manufacturing (SIAM), Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers (SIDM), Indian Machine Tools Manufacturers Association (IMTMA), Automotive
Components Manufacturers Association (ACMA) for augmenting the inventory of
Ventilators and Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) through manufacturing and/or
importing of the same by the high-end manufacturing companies as current
capacity of healthcare companies have limited capacity/volume for producing these products vis-a-vis estimated requirement during this crisis of COVID-19.
The Coalition has taken three pronged actions for augmenting the inventory of ventilators and PPEs as follows:
Action 1
Consortium of industry who would like to import Ventilator/PPEs
immediately.
Action 2
Consortium of existing Ventilator/PPE manufacturing companies who
are producing ventilators and PPEs to maximize their capacity of
manufacturing.
Action 3
Consortium of manufacturing companies in automobile, machine tools,
defense/aerospace sectors who will utilize their plant and machinery to
produce the ventilators in large quantity.
Action 4
Consortium of National laboratories/institutions like DRDO, ISRO, CSIR, IITs, Incubators for transferring matured technologies to industry for
mass-manufacturing.
