OUR VIEW ON MAKE IN INDIA
I’d argue that Make In India has not failed, and in fact, has neither overly helped, nor hurt the
status of the country. What MII has done is bring light to many manufacturing opportunities that
do exist in India.
It is widely assumed based on analyses of a decade or more ago, that the manufacturing industry
in India has stagnated and has remained more or less the same for the last thirty or so years -
perhaps this comes from the notion of India as an economy that took a services route to
development, skipping the manufacturing capabilities entirely.
I would argue that is only partially true, given that world class products do get produced in India,
for export in many firms.
Some examples are - Hyundai, whose largest car manufacturing plant is just outside of Chennai
in India, Volkswagen, Renault-Nissan and Suzuki, who produce a large number of vehicles for
foreign and local markets alike in India, and of course, Ford, Honda, Toyota and other firms that
made early entries into India after the license permit Raj ended in the early 1990s.
I’m not even broaching the topic of manufacturing beyond automotive - in which Indian
companies are legitimately behemoths in themselves, whether you take the recently successful
Patanjali, HUL, or foreign entrants like P&G that have made India their home too.
Now, Make In India is not a new story, or something to be taken in isolation, since India,
because of its lower costs has been an attractive destination for manufacturers for decades. I
anticipate that this will be the case for a few more decades, and India’s prowess in manufacturing
and quality of manufactured products will continue to improve - just as Make In India is not a
revolution that will manifest in a few years’ time, the association of quality with the “Made in
India” brand is not something we will see happening very soon. This is a long game, just as
Japan’s or Korea’s ascent to high tech and high quality manufacturing took time - decades, in
fact. By the same yardstick, India is definitely making progress as a manufacturing base and I
expect that things will only get better from this point on.
I don’t think Make In India failed , but i certainly believe that it didn't get the right momentum as
it supposed to be at.But for this slow progress of Make In India we can't blame the Government
just because Make In India itself is a unique kind of initiative taken by the Goverment to boost
the country's industrial growth . As to start a new work culture in industrial arena first its need to
be based properly on ground in which the future industrial mechanism will stand.
