Indian market has been booming since 2014, ever since the government announced its “Make in India” incentives for companies which were planning to make India as a base for manufacturing products. As the same government is voted to power in 2019, the chances of this campaign getting stronger, better and faster creates an opportunity for all those who are still in a dilemma to choose the new contract manufacturing market in Asia. India gives a unique platform where it is connected well by rail, road, air and water with all the major markets. Manufacturers are making products in India and supplying them all over APAC including Australia and Japan, Africa, Middle East apart from Europe and USA.
Under the Make in India initiative, the Government of India aims to increase the share of the manufacturing sector to the gross domestic product (GDP) to 25 per cent by 2022, from 16 per cent. India is on the path of becoming the hub for hi-tech manufacturing as global giants such as GE, Siemens, HTC, Toshiba, and Boeing have either set up or are in process of setting up manufacturing plants in India, attracted by India's market of more than a billion consumers and increasing purchasing power. As per the sources from Government of India, India’s manufacturing PMI stood at 52.6 in March 2019, indicating an expansion. Firms remain confident about strong underlying demand, successful advertising and the receipt of bulk orders, all of which are supporting sales growth. As of December 2018, premium smartphone maker OnePlus is anticipating that India will become its largest Research and Development (R&D) base within the next three years. As of October 2018, Filatex India, a polymer manufacturer, is planning to undertake forward integration by setting up a fabric manufacturing and processing unit. As of August 2018, IISC’s Society of Innovation and Development (SID) and WIPRO 3D are collaborating to produce India’s first industrial scale 3D printing machine. For its Commercial Vehicles, Ashok Leyland is utilising machine learning algorithms and its newly created telematics unit to improve the performance of the vehicle, driver and so on.
