Experts Highlight 1% GDP Opportunity Through Improved Industrial Maintenance in India
Industry leaders at MRAM Expo 2026 highlighted that India could unlock a productivity opportunity equivalent to 1% of GDP by reducing losses from equipment breakdowns, unplanned downtime, inefficient assets, and premature replacements. An ABB survey found 88% of Indian industrial businesses face monthly unplanned outages, costing nearly Rs 70 lakh per hour. Experts advocate shifting from reactive maintenance to predictive, data-driven approaches to improve output, extend asset life, and reduce costs, aligning with government and policy focus on smarter asset management.
