Indian Industry
Introduction
 First I will give a brief outline about the overall scenario of
Indian Economy followed by a snapshot of the trade between
India and China and the investment opportunity. I shall then
discuss about some specific promising industries where there
exist huge opportunities for growth and investment.
Indian Economy
 -India’s economy has been one of the fast growing economies of the
world. It is the third largest economy of the world in terms of
purchasing power parity. From 2004 to 2011, India’s quarterly GDP
growth rate averaged over 8%. The overall growth in GDP in 2010-11
was 8.5%.
 -India enjoys immense geographical advantage as a hub for serving the
South Asian, Middle East, European and African markets.
 -The Indian economy is characterized by strong macro-economic
fundamentals. We have a well-developed financial system, young and
qualified labor force, dynamic private sector and growing savings and
investment rate.
 -We see both trade and investment to play a big role in driving economic
growth, as it has done for China. Trade accounts for 43% of GDP right
now. Our objective is faster and inclusive growth.

Overview of Indian Industries
 Over the years agriculture has been the major source of livelihood of the Indian population.
However, after Independence the founding fathers saw the nation progressing with a decent
industrial base. This triggered the formulation of programs and strategies to construct a
proper infrastructure for speedy industrialization.
 Post 1980s India saw industrial liberalization which achieved further impetus in mid-1991.For
formulation and implementation of industrial policy and strategies for industrial development
the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion was established by Government of India in
1995. With progressive liberalization of the Indian economy, initiated in July 1991, there has
been a consistent shift in the role and functions of this Department. The DIPP is also
responsible for formulation of the FDI policy and facilitation of FDI inflows into the country.
 -Since its liberalization policy India has opened several public sector enterprises. India has
been successful in achieving autonomy in producing different basic & capital products.

Industry today accounts for 27% of India’s GDP as compared to 47% of China’s. Manufacturing
accounts only for 16%.
 -I shall now discuss about a few industrial sectors which have huge potential of growth and
investment
Automotive

-The automotive sector in India, comprising of the automobile and auto component sub sectors, is
one of the key segments of the economy having extensive forward and backward linkages with other
key segments of the economy.


-It contributes about 4% to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 5% to India’s industrial
production.


-Favorable demographics ( 60% of 1.2 billion people are below 30 years of age), expanding population,
abundant availability of skilled talent, and a maturing automotive components segment have
propelled India-based automotive companies to play an important role globally.


-While international companies are eyeing India for top line growth, the country also remains a
favored outsourcing hub for many automotive multinationals.


-India has a well-developed, globally competitive auto ancillary industry and has established
automobile testing and R&D centers. The country enjoys natural advantage and is among the lowest
cost producers of steel in the world.
Heavy Engineering
 At present, the heavy engineering industry, including
machine tools contributes 12% to the total manufacturing
activity and provides critical input, i.e. machinery and
equipment to the remaining sectors covered under the
manufacturing activity.
 India ranks first in the field of engineering research &
development & design outsourcing industry.
 -In ER & India has 22% share of global revenues in ER&D
 engineering exports constitute 25% of India’s overall exports.
Power Equipment
 -There are about 675 manufacturers of electrical machinery in India including
Heavy electrical power generation Equipment like Boiler, Turbine & Generator
sets. Nearly 90% of them are small &medium manufacturers.

 -The State-owned Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) is the largest
manufacturer of electrical and power equipment. The Product range includes
transmission line towers, HT Switchgear, transformers, motors (FHP, LT, HT &
DC), AC generators, conductors, capacitors, cables, energy meters, etc.

 -The performance of the power equipment industry is closely linked to the
addition in power generation capacity. Huge investments have been planned in
augmenting the power generation capacity in the country, but, the power
equipment manufacturing industry has not kept pace with the overall growth in
power production.
Textile Machinery
 -The Indian Textiles Industry contributes 14% of industrial production, 4% of
GDP and 10.63% of country’s export earnings and provides direct employment
to over 35 million people.
 -Government of India has projected to increase the country’s share of textiles
and apparels in world trade from the current level of 4.5% to 8% and reach
exports of US$ 80 billion by 2020.
 -With the government planning to develop India into a textile hub, the industry
will be investing heavily in new textile machinery, particularly in areas like
weaving, processing, special process finishing machines (plasma finishing), highspeed knitting and garmenting machineries etc

 -The textile machinery industry is a significant component of the capital goods
industry. The industry comprises of 1,446 units of which 598 units produce
complete machines and about 848 units are producing parts and accessories as
well as equipment for testing and monitoring of fibers and textiles.
Electronics

-At present about two-thirds of domestic electronic components demand is met through imports. Moreover,

expected to touch US$ 400 billion by 2020.


-Since India’s domestic production is projected to account for only US$ 100 billion, the electronics sector
provides very a good opportunity for investment. The size of the manufacturing opportunity lies in the gap
between the expected demand in the country and the rate of domestic production.




-India’s electronics industry is expected to grow at 22% per year, which is 7 times the global rate. The primary
demand drivers are sectors like telecom, defense, IT and e-governance, automotive, consumer electronics, and
energy.
-With large pan-India government projects such as the national optical fiber network, the national knowledge
network and e-governance programs, the move is expected to open up huge opportunities for domestic
production and foreign investment in the electronics sector.
-Moreover, the cable TV digitization, mandated by the government, is expected to spur demand for Set Top Boxes
as well as High Definition Television sets. Demand for low cost innovative products such as touch-screen tablets
for education and medical devices are other demand drivers.

for sustainable growth
-Indian Government has established several special zone schemes to encourage export-oriented
enterprises. These include Special Economic Zones (SEZ), Export Processing Zones (EPZ),
Software Technology Parks (STP), and Export Oriented Units (EOU). These schemes are governed
by separate rules and granted different benefits.
-SEZs are treated as a foreign territory, allowing businesses operating in SEZs to operate outside the
domain of the customs authorities, avoid FDI equity caps, receive exemptions from industrial
licensing requirements, and enjoy tax holidays and other tax breaks.
-EPZs are industrial parks with incentives for foreign investors in export-oriented businesses.
-STPs are special zones with similar incentives for software exports.
