India Needs to Boost Production to Become Alternative to China: Official
Manufacturing, which currently accounts for 17% of India's GDP and employs over 27.3 million workers, plays an important role in the Indian economy. Through the implementation of various programs and policies, the Indian government hopes that by 2025, 25% of the economy's output will come from this sector.
India is aiming to assume the role of a global manufacturer as companies relocate from China amid tight coronavirus restrictions, Tuhin Kanta Pandey, a secretary of India's Department of Investment and Public Assets Management (DIPAM), outlined.
"The world hopes that India will become their second pillar of production. The China plus one strategy over the next decade can become India's strategy. But for this we need to increase production," Pandey said at the Confederation of Indian Industry Summit on Global Economic Policy.
Manufacturing currently accounts for 16% of India's GDP, and Pandey has stated the need to increase this to around 25% over the coming years. He also said that this would lead to the creation of employment opportunities.
