Ministry of Heavy Industries launches Automated Online Data Transfer for capturing critical data related to Domestic Value Addition
Data transfer will be from the PLI applicant’s ERP
system to PLI Auto Portal
MHI takes the lead in
enabling transparency, ease of doing business, faceless &
self-certification based assessment;
Paperless disbursement to be ensured by introducing this IT enabled process
Major boost to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat
Abhiyan
Ministry of
Heavy Industries today launched Automated Online Data Transfer for
capturing critical data related to Domestic Value Addition (DVA) from the
PLI applicant’s ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning ) system to PLI Auto Portal.
All approved applicants of the PLI Scheme have their own
ERP system. ERP is a type of software that organisations use to manage
business activities. The IT enabled system has been devised to enable smooth
transfer of data from applicant’s existing ERP system to PLI Auto portal of MHI
in safe environment. The Application Programming Interface (API) will get
embedded with ERP system of the applicant and will enable automaticity and
paperless processing in this scheme. In the normal circumstance, the applicants
would have been required to file voluminous claims. This facility eliminates
that voluminous paper work by bringing in automation. Thus, this IT
enabled system will reduce compliance burden on the part of the applicants on
the one hand and it will enable faster processing of claim on the other hand.
This system has been devised after exhaustive stakeholder
consultations with leading OEMs and Auto component manufacturing companies.
Speaking on the occasion Union Heavy Industries Minister
Dr Mahendra Nath Pandey said that these processes are important steps in
enabling transparency, ease of doing business, faceless and self-certification
based assessment and paperless delivery. He also stated that Prime
Minister Narendra Modi's Make in India and Atma Nirbhar Bharat campaign will
get a major boost by this system.
Government has approved the Production Linked Incentive
(PLI) Scheme for Automobile and Auto Component Industry in India (PLI-Auto) for
enhancing India’s manufacturing capabilities for Advanced Automotive Products
(AAT) with a budgetary outlay of ₹25,938 crore. The Scheme has been successful
in attracting proposed investment of ₹67,690 crore against the target estimate
of investment ₹42,500 crore over a period of five years. The scheme shall bring
in incremental production of AAT products of over ₹2.3 lakh crore.
The overwhelming response shows that Industry has reposed
its faith in India’s stellar progress as a world class manufacturing
destination which resonates strongly with Hon’ble Prime Minister’s clarion call
of AtmaNirbharBharat - a self-reliant India.
The PLI-Auto Scheme proposes financial incentives to
boost domestic manufacturing of Advanced Automotive Technology (AAT) products
and attract investments in the automotive manufacturing value chain.
The scheme incentivizes only those eligible AAT products
for which minimum 50% Domestic Value Addition (DVA) is achieved. Pre-approved
eligible product with minimum 50% domestic value addition will be eligible for incentive
under this scheme. This criterion shall reduce imports from outside India,
enable deep localization for AAT productsin India and enable Indian Automotive
Industry to important player of global supply chain.
FY 2022-23 is the first financial year for which an
approved applicant can claim incentive on the Determined sales. Sales of AAT
products with DVA of minimum 50%, with sales from 01/04/2022 onwards, for a
period of 5 years, shall be eligible for incentive.
The entire system of working and processing in PLI auto
is based on mutual trust. Whatever is filed by the beneficiary will be believed
and accepted by MHI. However, on any complaint, this will permit MHI to locate
digital footprint for verification.
Salient features of the Automated Online Domestic Value
Addition (DVA) Capturing Process:
Applicants would be maintaining the detailed DVA
calculation for all their eligible products in their own Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) system. The ERP system shall maintain the DVA calculation for
each batch/ product/ model/ variant with details of component-wise values,
component-wise DVA and final DVA at AAT product level.
Applicants’ ERP shall push the product-wise DVA to PLI
Auto portal on quarterly basis through Application Programming Interface (API).An
API is a set of rules that lets different programs communicate to each other,
exposing data and functionality across the Internet in a consistent format.
This is an architectural pattern that describes how distributed systems can
expose a consistent interface in secure cyber environment.
For accessing the API, Applicants’ ERP would have to
authenticate itself by accessing the link https://pliauto.in/api/authenticate and
then submit the DVA data by accessing https://pliauto.in/api/postDVA
The Applicants’ ERP would only push product-wise DVA to
PLI Auto portal. The detailed calculation of DVA for each product shall be
maintained in the ERP of the Applicant only so that their trade secrets or
confidentiality/Non-disclosure agreements with suppliers or customers are not
violated.
Applicants would be required to maintain the Quarterly
DVA calculation in their ERP system with necessary audit trails at least till
31/03/2030 (i.e. two years from closure of the Scheme) or as may be advised by
MHI. Further, Applicants shall be permitted to delete/ destroy the DVA data
from their ERP portal only with prior permission from MHI.
This system of automaticity and paperless working shall
be continued over the period of 5 years under the Scheme i.e. from FY2022-23 to
FY2026-27.
The above system/ protocol has been devised after
exhaustive consultation with leading OEMs and Component companies for last more
than four months.
