INDUSTRIAL AND REGULATORY PERSPECTIVE
•
An Entrepreneur, in order to successfully expand and grow
his/her business on a sustained basis, must take into account the
basic regulatory requirements of the country.
•
These requirements are necessary for the functioning of his/her
enterprise in the statutory framework of the country and help
him/her to know about his/her rights and responsibilities as
well as the challenges that he/she may have to face.
The need to have a proper regulatory environment which can
ensure a healthy competition in the economy so that all
business enterprises can grow and expand and stimulate
economic development of a country.
Business to grow on a sustainable basis, there has to be a
healthy and fair competition in the market economy.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry is the most important
organ concerned with the promotion and regulation of the
Domestic /Foreign trade in India.
The Ministry has an elaborate organizational set up to look
after the various aspects of trade. Within the Ministry, The
Department of Commerce is responsible for formulating and
implementing the foreign trade policy.
Regulatory policy framework had four major objectives :
1. The promotion of heavy industry with an emphasis on the
public sector.
2. Economic self-reliance, which translated into broad efforts at
import substitution and restrictions on technology imports to
promote indigenous innovation.
3. Protection to small industry sector
4. Balanced regional development
To achieve these objectives, the regulatory policy
framework comprised a variety of policy instruments :
Reservation of vast areas of industrial activities for the public
sector
Industrial licensing to regulate and control investments in
industry and locations
Legislation to control large and dominant firms
Legislation to control foreign investment and technology
inflow
Comprehensive policies and incentives to protect small scale
industry
Restriction on location of industrial units and incentives to
move into backward regions
Price administration of infrastructural inputs and
Taxation
INDUSTRIAL LICENSING
To regulate the flow of investment in desired channels of
industries and locations and to match supply of industrial
commodities with demand on the lines of national priorities
A license is a written permission from the Government to an
industrial undertaking to manufacture specific articles..
It
includes particulars of the industrial undertaking, its
location, the articles to be manufactured, their capacity on the
basis of maximum utilization of plant and machinery and other
appropriate conditions which are enforceable under the Act.
It is also subject to a validity period within which the
licensed capacity should be established.
Industrial licensing was introduced under the Industries
Development and Regulation(IDR) Act.
The IDR Act was passed in October 1951 and the Act came
into force on 8thMay, 1952.
The Act applies to all the industries specified in the first
schedule of the Act.

These included the Railways, the Posts and Telegraphs, the
Port Trusts, the Ordinance Factories, All India Radio, few
enterprises like the Government Salt Factories which were
departmentally managed.
Industrial policy has seen a sea change with most Central
Government industrial controls being liquidated.
The Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) were classified
into ‘strategic’ and ‘non-strategic’. Strategic CPSEs were
identified in
The areas of (a) Arms & Ammunition and the allied items of
defence equipments,
Defence air-crafts and warships; (b) Atomic Energy (except in
the areas related to
the operation of nuclear power and applications of radiation
and radio-isotopes to agriculture, medicine and non-strategic
industries); and (c) Railway transport.
All other CPSEs were considered as non-strategic. Further,
Industrial licensing by the Central Government has been almost
abolished except for a few hazardous and environmentally
sensitive industries.
Number of CPSUs has increased spectacularly to
247enterprises with a total investment of about 130 billion
euros.
Out of these 247 enterprises, as many as 197 public
enterprises are profitable. Only fifty public enterprises out
of this large group of 247 enterprises are loss-making.
The main elements of the present Government policy towards
Public Sector enterprises as contained in the National
Common Minimum Programme (NCMP) are:
To devolve full managerial and commercial autonomy to
successful, profit making companies operating in a competitive
environment
Generally , profit-making companies will not be privatized
Every effort will be made to modernize and restructure sick
public sector companies and revive sick industry
Chronically loss making companies will either be sold off, or
closed, after all workers have got their legitimate dues and
compensation
Private industry will be inducted to turn-around companies
that have potential for revival
Privatization revenues will be used for designated social sector
schemes
Public sector companies and nationalized banks will be
encouraged to enter the capital market to raise resources and
offer new investment avenues to retail investors.
ERP AND PUBLIC SECTOR
Enterprise Resource Planning
software
systems
(ERP)
encompass a wide range of software products supporting dayto-day business operations and decision-making.
ERP serves many industries and numerous functional areas in
an integrated fashion, attempting to automate operations from
supply chain management, inventory control, manufacturing
scheduling and production, sales support, customer relationship
management, financial and cost accounting, human resources
etc..,
ERP systems
are
designed
to
enhance
organization’s
competitiveness by upgrading an organization’s ability to
generate timely and accurate information throughout the
enterprise and its supply chain.
A successful ERP system implementation can shorten
production cycles, increases accuracy of demand for materials
management & sourcing and leads to inventory reduction
because of material management, etc.
Three main factors that can be held responsible for failure of
ERP system are:
Poor planning or poor management
Change in business goals during project and
Lack of business management support.
Tangible Benefits after ERP Implementation
Inventory Reduction
Personal reduction
Productivity improvement
Order management improvement
Technology cost reduction
Cash management improvement
Revenue/profit improvement
Transportation/ logistics cost reduction
Maintenance reduction

corporate enterprises, domestic and foreign, in any field
of productive activity with the intention of making a

Development Bank of India (IDBI),
National Bank for Agriculture and Rural
Development (NABARD) and
State Financial Corporations (SFCs) have been

SSIs - small scale industries (SSIs)
The small scale industries (SSI)constitute an important
segment of the Indian economy in terms of their
contribution to the country’s industrial production, exports,
employment and creation of an entrepreneurial base.
The Government established the Ministry of Small Scale
Industries and Agro and Rural Industries(SSI & ARI) in
October, 1999 as the nodal Ministry for formulation of
policies and Central sector programmes/schemes, their
implementation and related co-ordination, to supplement
the efforts of the States for promotion and development of
these industries in India.
The Ministry of SSI &ARI was bifurcated into two separate
Ministries, namely, Ministry of Small Scale Industries and
Ministry of Agro and Rural Industries in September, 2001.
