India&#8217;s manufacturing sector has long suffered from inefficient clearances, costly logistics and a lack of credit. Businesses were often in the dark even before the start of their venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But over the past few years, India has achieved a more organised manufacturing landscape. Policies, infrastructure and digital initiatives have made manufacturing more certain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manufacturing is no longer considered a challenging industry for big business. It is now open to startups, MSMEs and first-time entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_86 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/india-manufacturing-growth\/#Related_Article_Best_Manufacturing_Opportunities_in_India_Under_PM_Modi_MSME_Growth_PLI_Scheme_High-Profit_Sectors\" >Related Article: Best Manufacturing Opportunities in India Under PM Modi: MSME Growth, PLI Scheme &amp; High-Profit Sectors<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/india-manufacturing-growth\/#Make_in_India_and_PLI_Scheme_The_Core_Policy_Engine\" >Make in India and PLI Scheme: The Core Policy Engine<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/india-manufacturing-growth\/#MSME_Sector_The_Real_Foundation_of_Industrial_Growth\" >MSME Sector: The Real Foundation of Industrial Growth<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/india-manufacturing-growth\/#Infrastructure_Growth_The_Silent_Driver_of_Manufacturing\" >Infrastructure Growth: The Silent Driver of Manufacturing<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/india-manufacturing-growth\/#High-Growth_Manufacturing_Sectors_in_India\" >High-Growth Manufacturing Sectors in India<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/india-manufacturing-growth\/#1_Electronics_Manufacturing\" >1.

It aimed to attract local and international companies to set up manufacturing units in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it really took off with the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme. The <a href=\"https:\/\/xn--i1b2c8a1bc9b4b1a.xn--11b7cb3a6a.xn--h2brj9c\/pli-scheme?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">PLI scheme<\/a> is performance-linked, rather than investment-linked, as companies are rewarded on output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key sectors covered under PLI include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Electronics and mobile manufacturing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pharmaceuticals and APIs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automotive components<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specialty chemicals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Food processing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Textiles and technical textiles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has enabled India to develop a vibrant export-focused manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India is today one of the largest manufacturers of mobile phones and the export of electronics has increased substantially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"msme-sector-the-real-foundation-of-industrial-growth\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MSME_Sector_The_Real_Foundation_of_Industrial_Growth\"><\/span><strong>MSME Sector: The Real Foundation of Industrial Growth<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Large industries lead the exports, but MSMEs are the &#8220;building blocks&#8221; of India&#8217;s manufacturing sector. They form a significant portion of the economy by way of GDP, jobs and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the time, the policies pertaining to MSMEs have developed positively in terms of credit and registration. The introduction of Udyam registration, ease of doing business have led to the expansion of easy registration process and easier access to credit have resulted from credit guarantee schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Major MSME reforms include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Credit guarantee schemes for collateral-free loans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Online registration on Udyam portal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to credit in times of crisis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A greater emphasis on digital lenders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has led to the faster growth of the small manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"infrastructure-growth-the-silent-driver-of-manufacturing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Infrastructure_Growth_The_Silent_Driver_of_Manufacturing\"><\/span><strong>Infrastructure Growth: The Silent Driver of Manufacturing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of manufacturing, logistics and infrastructure play a pivotal role.
