Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The National Manufacturing Policy (NMP) of India, introduced in 2011, has clear objectives aimed at boosting the manufacturing sector.

2. The key objectives include:
   - Increasing the sectoral share of manufacturing in GDP to at least 25\% by 2022.
   - Creating 100 million additional jobs by 2022 through increased manufacturing activity.
   - Enhancing global competitiveness, domestic value addition, technological depth, and environmental sustainability.

3. However, doubling the exports of manufacturing goods by 2022 is **not** explicitly stated as an objective of the NMP.

4. Therefore, option (2) is NOT an objective of the National Manufacturing Policy.

**Answer:** (2) To double the exports of manufacturing goods by 2022.
