**Summary:**
This document summarizes the Government of India's response to Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 2302, addressed to the Minister of Corporate Affairs on August 4, 2025, concerning companies opened under the "Make in India" program. The question sought to ascertain the number of new companies established under the program, categorized by year, state, and sector, as well as data on loss-making and closed companies within this cohort.
The Minister of State in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and Minister of State in the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Shri Harsh Malhotra, stated that the MCA21 portal, used for company incorporation, does not include a specific field to track companies incorporated under the "Make in India" program. Consequently, the requested data is not readily available. Therefore, information regarding loss-making or closed companies within the "Make in India" initiative cannot be provided based on the current data collection methods.
