India Manufacturing Share Drops To 13 Percent
India is working to establish itself as a global manufacturing leader, specifically focusing on the battery industry. The country faces significant competition from China, which seeks to maintain its dominance in manufacturing sectors. This push comes as Indian companies aim to build out large-scale battery plants to secure supply chains. The Indian government has committed billions of dollars in incentives and subsidies to initiate domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Key focus areas include semiconductors, advanced chemistry cells, renewable energy, artificial intelligence, biotech, space tech, and defense manufacturing. India's manufacturing sector's contribution to GDP fell to 13% in 2024. This decline occurs despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi's stated goal to increase manufacturing to 25% of the national GDP.
