Benefits of Manufacturing in India:

  • High Quality Production Equipment: Most of the Indian manufacturers use high-quality machines and tools to produce good quality products. Many Indian industries are well known for the care and trustworthy for their work and business deals. Unlike China, India does not carry the stigma of poor quality production.
  • Availability of labour and Cheap Labour Cost:Labour cost are very low in India when compared to China. The skilled subset of the labor force is also huge, and are able to contribute to cost-effective development schemes to manufacturing operations.

Challenges of Manufacturing in India

  • Power availability: The major challenge in Indian manufacturing is Low power availability. Due to unavailability of power 24 hours per day, there is decrease in productivity and efficiency, and lower output rates.
  • Labour Productivity: Labour productivity is lesser in India than many competing countries. This is because of lag in supply chain management, transportation, production planning, and maintenance.
  • Intellectual Property Protection and Enforcement: IP protection and enforcement is an expensive and high risk in India. Another challenge with IP rights in India is that India is currently going through some significant IP reforms, which make things more complex and, at least for now, uncertain.
  • Cost and Fragmentation of Transportation and Logistics: Transportation is very costly and slow in India. It can take long delivery time to get products to the coasts from some places in India. Furthermore, logistics are inferior. The positive point is that the Indian government notice this problem in infrastructure and is working to resolve it.
