"Redefining Manufacturing Excellence with Smart
Technologies for a Sustainable Tomorrow"
Manufacturing in India: The Path to 2030
India’s manufacturing sector is on the brink of an extraordinary transformation, driven by
strategic initiatives like Make in India, Digital India, and an intensified focus on
electronics and defense manufacturing. As India targets a $5 trillion economy by
2030, manufacturing will be the cornerstone of this growth, positioning the country as a
global manufacturing powerhouse. The Make in India campaign, now a key pillar of
India’s economic strategy, is expected to significantly enhance the nation’s
manufacturing capabilities, enabling it to compete in the global production systems. This
will further bolster India’s trade-export-growth model, making the country an integral
part of global value chains.
Indian Manufacturing Outlook for 2030
By 2030, India’s manufacturing sector is projected to reach $1.4 trillion, with a major
contribution from defense and electronics manufacturing. The Indian defense
sector is expected to spend more than $350 billion over the next decade, creating
substantial opportunities for domestic manufacturers through defense offset
opportunities. The strategic push towards electronics manufacturing will also serve
as a major catalyst for growth, positioning India as a leading global hub for electronics
production.
This surge in manufacturing will open significant doors for private-sector
participation, including MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises). These
businesses are likely to transition into co-developer and co-manufacturer roles,
collaborating with both Indian and international OEMs (Original Equipment
Manufacturers). This shift will involve MSMEs in the supply of raw materials,
components, assemblies, sub-assemblies, and outsourced services such as
machining, screw cutting, surface finishing, design, engineering, prototyping,
casting, and more.
India’s manufacturing renaissance by 2030 will be driven by technological
advancements, innovation, and global partnerships, reshaping the global
manufacturing landscape and solidifying India’s role as a leading industrial hub.
