Doing it right: Strategies for globally competitive manufacturing
Indian manufacturing industry has clearly turned around. In recent months, the Index of Industrial Production has shown potential of crossing 10% growth rate on a sustainable basis. Exports are growing at over 20%.
Indian manufacturing may finally be coming into its own. Is it ready to take on the world? Can India emerge as a manufacturing hub next only to China? What needs to be done to ensure that we get it right this time?
To discuss this, The Economic Times brings to you 'Doing It Right: Strategies for Globally Competitive Manufacturing'. A high powered debate featuring some of India's top manufacturing and business minds: V.S. Jain, chairman, SAIL; Mr BVR Subbu, Presi dent, Hyundai Motor India, Dr Surinder Kapur, chairman and managing director, Sona Koyo; Mr Anup Singh, executive director, ITC; Mr Aniruddha Roy, director, Eveready Industries and Dr; Ajit Ranade, Group Chief Economist, AV Birla Group.
At the Economic Times, we have always maintained that India's long term development depends on a robust, evolving and efficient manufacturing base. Over the past few years, we have seen our conviction in India's inherent skills in manufacturing being vindicated. The manufacturing GDP has grown consistently over the past ten quarters, and Indian manufacturing is now increasingly moving towards being globally competitive in quality, costs and innovation.
