The Indian government is exploring a 'Made in India' label scheme to boost brand recognition globally, aiming to create a strong brand identity similar to 'Made in Japan' or 'Made in Switzerland'.
New Delhi, Oct 2 (PTI) The government is discussing a proposal to formulate a scheme for 'made in India' label with a view to promote brand India in the global markets, an official said.

The objective is to create a strong brand identity for India, similar to how 'made in Japan' or 'made in Switzerland' evokes about specific images and qualities.
"That we want for India also," the official said, adding, for instance, "when we think of Switzerland, we often think of their watches, chocolates, and banking systems."
