India needs to boost manufacturing sector to bridge CAD, trade deficit: DIPP

17 May 2013 Evaluate

As per the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), India needs to boost its manufacturing sector to bridge the ballooning current account deficit (CAD) and trade imbalance. The CAD touched an all-time high of 6.7 percent of GDP in the third quarter of FY13, while India's trade deficit have touched a record of $191 billion during the last fiscal.

DIPP’s Secretary Saurabh Chandra said, the country’s manufacturing sector should be of high quality to increase the contribution of manufacturing sector in the country's GDP and create lakhs of jobs. There are countries such as Germany, China and Japan which have trade surpluses equal to India's trade deficit because of their high quality manufacturing activities.

By adding further, Chandra said that high manufacturing technology, high standard and focus on R&D are necessary for sustainable manufacturing. Further, the industry should start focusing at voluntary and mandatory standards for quality manufacturing.

He also expressed the need to shift jobs from agriculture sector to manufacturing for inclusive growth like China. According to estimates, China has transferred 150 million people from agriculture to manufacturing and created about 84 million jobs in the non-farm sector in rural areas.      

Meanwhile, to boost the manufacturing sector, the government has introduced National Manufacturing Policy, which aims at increasing contribution of manufacturing to the national GDP from current 16 per cent to 25-26 per cent by 2025 and of creating 100 million jobs in the next decade.
