Indian Industry
Introduction
First I will give a brief outline about the overall
scenario of Indian Economy followed by a snapshot
of the trade between India and China and the
investment opportunity. I shall then discuss about
some specific promising industries where there exist
huge opportunities for growth and investment.
Indian Economy

 -India’s economy has been one of the fast growing economies of

the world. It is the third largest economy of the world in terms of
purchasing power parity. From 2004 to 2011, India’s quarterly
GDP growth rate averaged over 8%. The overall growth in GDP in
2010-11 was 8.5%.
 -India enjoys immense geographical advantage as a hub for serving
the South Asian, Middle East, European and African markets.
 -The Indian economy is characterized by strong macro-economic
fundamentals. We have a well-developed financial system, young
and qualified labor force, dynamic private sector and growing
savings and investment rate.
 -We see both trade and investment to play a big role in driving
economic growth, as it has done for China. Trade accounts for 43%
of GDP right now. Our objective is faster and inclusive growth.

Bilateral Trade

-In so far as the question of bilateral relationship is

concerned, India and China have developed stable and
close relationship over the last 30 years. A strong
component of our partnership is trade and economic
relationship between our two countries which has seen
spectacular growth over the last few years. The
bilateral trade which was US$3billion in 2000 has
reached US$ 67 billion in 2012 and the target to
realize is to increase the bilateral trade to US$100
billion by 2015.

Overview of Indian Industries

 Over the years agriculture has been the major source of livelihood of the Indian
population. However, after Independence the founding fathers saw the nation
progressing with a decent industrial base. This triggered the formulation of
programs and strategies to construct a proper infrastructure for speedy
industrialization.
 Post 1980s India saw industrial liberalization which achieved further impetus in
mid-1991.For formulation and implementation of industrial policy and strategies for
industrial development the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion was
established by Government of India in 1995. With progressive liberalization of the
Indian economy, initiated in July 1991, there has been a consistent shift in the role
and functions of this Department. The DIPP is also responsible for formulation of
the FDI policy and facilitation of FDI inflows into the country.
 -Since its liberalization policy India has opened several public sector enterprises.
India has been successful in achieving autonomy in producing different basic &
capital products. 
 Industry today accounts for 27% of India’s GDP as compared to 47% of China’s. 
Manufacturing accounts only for 16%. 
 -I shall now discuss about a few industrial sectors which have huge potential of
growth and investment
Automotive

 -The automotive sector in India, comprising of the automobile and auto component sub
sectors, is one of the key segments of the economy having extensive forward and
backward linkages with other key segments of the economy.
  
 -It contributes about 4% to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 5% to India’s
industrial production.
  
 -Favorable demographics ( 60% of 1.2 billion people are below 30 years of age),
expanding population, abundant availability of skilled talent, and a maturing automotive
components segment have propelled India-based automotive companies to play an
important role globally.
  
 -While international companies are eyeing India for top line growth, the country also
remains a favored outsourcing hub for many automotive multinationals.
  
 -India has a well-developed, globally competitive auto ancillary industry and has
established automobile testing and R&D centers. The country enjoys natural advantage
and is among the lowest cost producers of steel in the world.
Heavy Engineering

At present, the heavy engineering industry, including

machine tools contributes 12% to the total
manufacturing activity and provides critical input, i.e.
machinery and equipment to the remaining sectors
covered under the manufacturing activity.
