Make in India campaign was launched by the government of India in 2014 to encourage local manufacturing and design development in India. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is the government department responsible for implementing and monitoring the Make in India initiative.
DPIIT has issued multiple notifications that define which product or software qualify as Class 1 or Class 2 suppliers of locally produced goods. According to these notifications, practicing Chartered Accountants (CAs) and Cost Management Accountants (CMAs) are authorized to issue Make in India certificates to companies that meet the required standards for local content.
Make in India certificates help companies to prove that their products or services qualify under the Make in India initiative, providing them with multiple benefits, including eligibility for government procurement and other support. Entities classified as Class 1 local suppliers, meeting the highest standards of local content, receive a competitive advantage over Class 2 suppliers, especially in government tenders for GeM Portal. These advantages can significantly increase the chances of bidders in winning government contracts, promoting their growth and market reach.
Make in India initiative is not limited to promoting manufacturing setup in India but also focuses on fostering innovation, developing skills, creating job opportunities, setting up world-class production facilities, and attracting foreign investment into the Indian manufacturing sector.
At Professional Utilities, we specialize in assisting organizations in obtaining Make in India certificates for government tenders.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
