India needs focused strategy to become global manufacturing hub by 2047: NITI Aayog

14 Aug 2026 Evaluate

NITI Aayog, in its report titled ‘Key Sectors to Position India as a Global Manufacturing Hub’, has said that India's aspiration to become a global manufacturing hub by 2047 will require a focused strategy that combines scale, competitiveness, innovation and integration into global value chains. The report said chemicals, textiles, telecom and network equipment, and solar PV manufacturing represent four distinct yet complementary pathways through which India can accelerate industrial growth, generate employment, enhance technological capabilities, strengthen self-reliance and expand its presence in international markets. Together, these sectors capture the breadth of India's manufacturing opportunity - from employment-intensive industries and foundational industrial inputs to advanced technology products and strategic sectors of the future.

The report noted a common theme emerging across all four sectors is that India possesses significant inherent advantages, including a large domestic market, a favourable demographic profile, an improving policy environment, growing infrastructure investments and increasing global interest in supply-chain diversification. However, the report said these strengths alone will not be sufficient to secure global leadership. Across sectors, challenges such as import dependence on critical inputs, fragmented supply chains, infrastructure and logistics gaps, limited domestic value addition, technological constraints and skill shortages continue to constrain India's competitiveness.

NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Ashok Kumar Lahiri said, “India stands at a defining moment in its economic and industrial journey. As the nation moves forward with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, manufacturing will play a central role in shaping the country's future growth trajectory.” Lahiri said the experience of every major industrial economy around the world has demonstrated that sustained economic transformation is built on a strong and globally competitive manufacturing base. He added manufacturing not only drives investment, innovation and exports, but also creates quality employment, raises productivity and strengthens linkages across multiple sectors of the economy.
