Manufacturing Sector: pivotal driver for economic growth

India, one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, is gearing for 2.5x growth over the next decade to reach $9 trillion by 2034.

The global need to diversify supply chains and find new manufacturing hubs has opened up a window of opportunity for India to capitalise on. With India’s rising competitiveness, global giants like Apple, Samsung, Foxconn, Xiaomi etc., have already shifted their manufacturing base to India.

At the same time, India is witnessing strong domestic demand and is one of the fastest growing consumer markets. Realising this, the Government is focused on building self-reliance by boosting domestic manufacturing with initiatives like ‘Make in India’, Production Linked Incentives (PLI) etc.

And supported by a favourable demographic dividend, Government policy impetus, emphasis on R & D, innovation, capex-led growth etc., the sector presents a timely opportunity to benefit from its growth potential. (Source: Morgan Stanley)
