Manufacturing Sector in India-Facts and Analysis




          Manufacturing sector is the backbone of any economy which plays a vital role in India’s economic growth. India must strengthen its manufacturing sector in order to create new employment opportunities and to achieve faster rates of economic growth.  As we came through various information, we found that India is a young country with over 60% of population in the working age group of 15 to 59 years. Today, the manufacturing sector contributes about 15% of India’s GDP.India is basically agriculture based country, so we need to look into agriculture, how it involves to improve manufacturing sector, it is important to improve agriculture efficiency, so that there will be higher flow of jobs to the manufacturing sector. For manufacturing to grow more, we need supportive infrastructure environment. We found a society called SIAM-Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers is the apex industry body representing 46 vehicle and vehicular engine manufacturers in India. There are many societies like this which acts as a major communication between government and manufacturers.

Indian manufacturing sector still suffers from bottlenecks like
1. Use of primitive technology
2. Poor infrastructure
3. over staffed operation
4. Expensive financing and bureaucracy.
      A business survey showed on Monday, Growth in India's manufacturing sector eased to a nine-month low in August as export orders fell for a second month, underscoring the risks to the wider economy from Europe's debt crisis. Manufacturing mainly depends on power, but recently sixteen states in northern India fell into darkness last month as power grids collapsed, disrupting businesses and economic activi
                       So, it is important to keep in mind, Government must take some initiatives to improve the infrastructure and agriculture sector to boost manufacturing industries growth.
