The government think tank in its report this week identified four sectors \u2013 chemicals, textiles, telecom and networking equipment, and solar PV manufacturing \u2013 as the area\u2019s most suitable for transforming India into a true global manufacturing power. This is no pious rhetoric for entrepreneurs looking out the window for a promising venture. It provides an exact indication of where demand, government support and export potential are colliding today.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, I have explained the importance of these four sectors, the incentives that the government already offers, the specific businesses entrepreneurs can explore in these four sectors, and the businesses that Indian entrepreneurs have already started in this space. When looking for the next manufacturing business idea this report is a good starting point.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white

India&#8217;s Best Bet Right Now<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>India accounts for nearly 17.5% of India&#8217;s GDP but output of manufacturing in India accounts for only around 3% of the world&#8217;s manufacturing output. That&#8217;s the opportunity. NITI Aayog has assessed 62 sectors and shortlisted 12 sectors for detailed review, of which chemicals, textiles, telecom equipment, and solar PV have been selected for detailed analysis first followed by eight more sectors (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pib.gov.in\/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2298965&amp;reg=48&amp;lang=1\">NITI Aayog Report \u2014 PIB Press Release<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In each of these four areas, the threshold for success is comparable: there is robust demand at home, with potential export markets; and policy incentives that encourage economies of scale. But in each opportunity, the opportunity is different.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Chemicals_Opportunity\"><\/span><strong>The Chemicals Opportunity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"88\" data-end=\"235\">The Indian chemical industry comprises three major sectors: petrochemicals and organic chemicals, specialty chemicals, and inorganic chemicals. The largest percentage of Petrochemicals comprises polymers, Synthetic fibres and Performance plastics. However, many businesses in this value chain still rely on imported feedstock. Enhancing the value chain of the downstream production and better utilisation of the feedstocks can help realise a strong domestic value addition (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibef.org\/exports\/chemical-industry-india\">IBEF \u2014 Chemicals Industry Exports<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Textiles_Still_Matters\"><\/span><strong>Why Textiles Still Matters<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Textiles do not have to be a legacy business; it has to be jobs engine. It accounts for nearly 2% of GDP, over 11% of manufacturing GVA and provides livelihood to over 45 million people, the largest employment after agriculture. In the previous fiscal year, India exported USD 37.7 billion, and is the sixth biggest exporter of textiles in the world (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibef.org\/industry\/textiles\">IBEF \u2014 Textiles Industry<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Telecoms_Underrated_Scale\"><\/span><strong>Telecom&#8217;s Underrated Scale<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The second largest telecom market in the world is the Indian telecom market where there are more than 1.2 billion subscribers and penetration is approximately 85%. This scale should have resulted in a much more substantial domestic equipment industry. It hasn&#8217;t\u2026 and that&#8217;s the key distinction that a manufacturing entrepreneur should be looking at.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solar_PVs_Import_Problem\"><\/span><strong>Solar PV&#8217;s Import Problem<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>India had added 106 GW of solar power and requires 174 GW of additional capacity to achieve its target of 280 GW. The domestic Solar PV market is estimated to reach around Rs 32,400 crore by 2020 with growth rate of around 17\u201320% for the coming years. But the majority of the value chain remains in the ocean.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Government_Policies_and_Incentives_Backing_These_Sectors\"><\/span><strong>Government Policies and Incentives Backing These Sectors<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Direct government support here is specific, funded and explicitly linked to these sectors, rather than generic policy terms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"29\" data-end=\"244\">The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme started in 2020 and covers 14 sectors, including telecom and networking products, textile products (MMF and technical textiles), and high-efficiency solar PV modules. In the solar PV tranche alone, committed investment is in the range of Rs 48,120 crore, which are likely to create around 38,500 direct jobs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pib.gov.in\/PressNoteDetails.aspx?ModuleId=3&amp;NoteId=155082&amp;reg=48&amp;lang=2\">PIB \u2014 PLI Scheme Progress<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Within three years of its launch, the Telecom PLI Scheme already has attracted investment of Rs 3,400 crore, driven equipment production to over Rs 50,000 crore and created over 17,800 direct jobs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pib.gov.in\/PressNoteDetails.aspx?NoteId=152130&amp;ModuleId=3&amp;reg=3&amp;lang=1\">PIB \u2014 Telecom PLI Scheme<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The government is rolling out a new scheme for chemicals, called Petroleum, Chemicals and Petrochemicals Investment Regions (PCPIRs), to provide integrated infrastructure and availability of feedstocks (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeinindia.com\/sector\/chemicals\">Make in India \u2014 Chemicals Sector<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>MSMEs entering into any of these sectors also avail loans under the Credit Guarantee Scheme, which are available with the Ministry of MSME through CGTMSE, without requiring any collateral. The ceiling of the guarantee was recently increased, thereby unlocking loans without collateral meaningfully larger sized which is a true unlock for first generation entrepreneurs (<a href=\"https:\/\/ramp.msme.gov.in\/ramp\/RAMP-initiative\/cgtmse\/cgtmse\">Ministry of MSME \u2014 CGTMSE Scheme<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Add liberalised FDI norms (100% automatic route for most manufacturing), National Telecom Policy 2025 to double the contribution of the sector&#8217;s GDP and exports and continued Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat momentum. These schemes make the cost of a new manufacturing company significantly more affordable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multiple_Business_Ideas_for_Startups_Within_These_Sectors\"><\/span><strong>Multiple Business Ideas for Startups Within These Sectors<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Specialty_Chemical_Formulation_Unit\"><\/span><strong>Specialty Chemical Formulation Unit<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Instead of making bulk commodities, a smaller manufacturer can establish a specialty chemical formulation business, whether it be additives, surfactants, or specialty chemicals used in paints, textiles, or agrochemicals. This segment has a greater growth rate than bulk chemicals and technical differentiation over scale is rewarded. The first steps an entrepreneur should take is to target one or two niche applications, develop a limited number of relationships with other &#8220;anchor&#8221; buyers in related sectors (e.g. textiles or construction) and invest early in quality certification.

Thus, entrepreneurs who can manufacture these products domestically can pursue import substitution, not just manufacturing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The opposite scenario is emerging in textiles: India already exports well, but it is bidding for business from China as China\u2019s share of the world\u2019s apparel orders drops. A study by the World Bank on apparel trade in South Asia estimated that in India, even a 10% increase in the price of apparel from China could create jobs for more than 1 million new units in the apparel industry, in India \u2014 an opportunity that will be available for new export players to come in in the coming days (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/en\/region\/sar\/publication\/stitches-to-riches-apparel-employment-trade-and-economic-development-in-south-asia\">World Bank \u2014 Stitches to Riches<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Telecom is a more localisation story than a pure trade story as domestic production was already diminishing import reliance in several products, while the government&#8217;s plan to double telecom exports under NTP-25 indicates continuing demand from the export side for domestic production (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investindia.gov.in\/sector\/telecom\">Invest India \u2014 Telecom Sector<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>PV imports have the highest concentration risk. The NITI Aayog&#8217;s report highlights that majority of India&#8217;s exports of solar modules are currently going to just one overseas market, which is the very reason the report suggests taking the business up the value chain to polysilicon and wafers and diversifying markets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indian_MSME_Success_Stories_Worth_Studying\"><\/span><strong>Indian MSME Success Stories Worth Studying<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>All NITI Aayog has to say in its report is forward-looking and India already has entrepreneurs who have built a business from scratch: that&#8217;s how.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deepak_Nitrite_%E2%80%94_Specialty_Chemicals_from_a_Family_Unit\"><\/span><strong>Deepak Nitrite \u2014 Specialty Chemicals from a Family Unit<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Deepak Nitrite started out as a small chemical manufacturing unit and has since grown to become one of India&#8217;s top specialty chemical and performance chemical companies, led by Deepak C. Mehta, chairman. The company&#8217;s growth model is exactly what NITI Aayog has been advocating today: specializing in the higher value-creating specialty formulations business and not just the commodity volume business. A lesson for a new entrant is patience, value-chain movement, not overnight scale, built this business.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arvind_Limited_%E2%80%94_Textiles_Built_on_Technical_Diversification\"><\/span><strong>Arvind Limited \u2014 Textiles Built on Technical Diversification<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Established in Ahmedabad, Arvind Limited was originally a textile mill that manufactured denim, but has now since diversified into manufacturing textile and technical fabrics for apparel brands around the world. The early investment in technical textiles and sustainable fibre processing by it matched what NITI Aayog&#8217;s report has now been calling for in the broader sector. This is a good lesson for newcomers \u2013 it&#8217;s not just a matter of capacity; it&#8217;s technical and sustainable positioning that is the key to winning export orders today.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Waaree_Energies_%E2%80%94_Riding_the_Solar_PV_Wave_Early\"><\/span><strong>Waaree Energies \u2014 Riding the Solar PV Wave Early<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Waaree Energies initially began operations as a smaller solar module manufacturer and through the consistent reinvestment in the company and early PLI participation grew to become one of the largest solar PV manufacturers in India. The path of its evolution demonstrates the potential for significant expansion for a medium-sized manufacturer when government incentives and a growing domestic demand converge \u2014 which is exactly what NITI Aayog&#8217;s report is witnessing for the sector now.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turning_These_Sector_Signals_Into_a_Fundable_Project\"><\/span><strong>Turning These Sector Signals Into a Fundable Project<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Turning a sector opportunity into an actual factory takes more than enthusiasm; it needs a realistic feasibility study. We at Niir Project Consultancy Services (NPCS) provide professional consulting for the preparation of Market Survey cum Detailed Techno-Economic Feasibility Reports (DPRs) for setting up new industries or businesses. Our reports include detailed manufacturing processes, market research and demand analysis, process flow diagrams, product mix and capacity planning, machinery and raw material details, and complete project financials with profitability analysis. Whether you are exploring a specialty chemical unit, a technical textile facility, telecom component manufacturing, or a solar PV assembly line, a well-researched DPR is what separates a promising idea from a fundable project. Our objective is to help entrepreneurs evaluate feasibility, profitability, and long-term scalability before investing.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Discover_business_ideas_that_actually_make_money\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/startup-selector\">Discover business ideas that actually make money<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sector_Snapshot_Chemicals_Textiles_Telecom_and_Solar_PV\"><\/span><strong>Sector Snapshot: Chemicals, Textiles, Telecom and Solar PV<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Sector<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Scale \/ Market Size<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Export Performance<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Growth Outlook<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Chemicals<\/td>\n<td>6th-largest chemicals producer globally; ~7% of manufacturing GDP<\/td>\n<td>Chemical exports of roughly USD 21 billion a year<\/td>\n<td>Demand projected to nearly triple by 2040<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Textiles &amp; Apparel<\/td>\n<td>~2% of GDP; ~11% of manufacturing GVA<\/td>\n<td>USD 37.7 billion in exports; 6th-largest global exporter<\/td>\n<td>45+ million people employed; export share rising as China&#8217;s lead narrows<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Telecom &amp; Networking<\/td>\n<td>World&#8217;s 2nd-largest telecom market; 1.2 billion+ subscribers<\/td>\n<td>Equipment production over Rs 50,000 crore under PLI<\/td>\n<td>NTP-25 targets doubling GDP contribution and exports<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Solar PV<\/td>\n<td>Domestic market worth roughly Rs 32,400 crore<\/td>\n<td>Exports concentrated in one overseas market currently<\/td>\n<td>17\u201320% CAGR expected; 174 GW more capacity needed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><iframe  id=\"_ytid_31858\"  width=\"750\" height=\"421\"  data-origwidth=\"750\" data-origheight=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g30bxveMqmA?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion_The_Sector_Selection_Is_Done_%E2%80%94_The_Business_Decision_Is_Yours\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion: The Sector Selection Is Done \u2014 The Business Decision Is Yours<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>NITI Aayog&#8217;s report does something most policy papers do not: it names names.
