India Focuses on Productivity and MSME Growth to Advance Manufacturing Sector
India's manufacturing growth has largely focused on expanding scale, but future progress depends on improving productivity and building a robust industrial ecosystem. Total factor productivity has fluctuated over decades without sustained growth, highlighting the need for deliberate policy and industry efforts. Strengthening innovation, increasing research and development investment, and integrating with global value chains are key priorities. Additionally, developing micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to support larger factories is crucial for enhancing domestic value addition and capturing more manufacturing value.
