OECD Reports India’s Growing Role in Global Manufacturing Despite Lower Subsidies Than China
The OECD reports that Chinese industrial firms receive three to eight times more government subsidies than those in India and other economies between 2005 and 2024. Despite lower governmental support, India is emerging as a significant player in global manufacturing supply chains, notably in aerospace, defense, and industrial materials. The aerospace sector is diversifying beyond North America and Europe, with India, China, Japan, and Korea increasing their roles as component suppliers and original equipment manufacturers.
