India's Economic Growth Hindered by Small Factory Productivity and Slow Urbanisation
India's economic growth faces challenges from low productivity in its numerous small factories and slow urbanisation. While reforms like GST and labour-code changes aim to ease business operations, output per worker remains limited, especially in tiny manufacturing units. Experts highlight the need for proven production methods to reach these small firms and for urban centres to become more business-friendly. Accelerating rural-urban migration and improving urban infrastructure are seen as crucial steps toward higher per-capita income and economic transformation.
