India’s manufacturing sector is emerging as a key global investment hub, with S&P Global highlighting its growing competitiveness and strategic positioning in the global supply chain.
India’s Manufacturing Boom
According to S&P Global’s latest report, India Forward: Transformative Perspectives, India is making notable progress in attracting foreign investments, driven by:
- Trade policy shifts favoring domestic production.
- Government incentives boosting industrial growth.
- Alternative energy initiatives, including biofuels, enhancing sustainability.
Economic Growth & Global Integration
India is well-positioned to capitalize on shifting global trade dynamics, with its economy projected to become the world’s third-largest by FY31. The country’s manufacturing PMI hit 58.2 in April 2025, marking its fastest expansion in 10 months.
Challenges & Future Prospects
Despite its rapid growth, India faces challenges in labor availability and resource costs, scoring 69.4 out of 100 in S&P’s resource momentum index. However, targeted skill development programs in semiconductors and solar PV manufacturing are expected to improve competitiveness.
India’s Role in Global Trade
With rising trade protectionism, India is leveraging supply-chain diversification to strengthen its manufacturing exports. The government’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme continues to attract high-value investments, reinforcing India’s global manufacturing leadership.
