Has the Make in India program been helpful to the manufacturing startup entrepreneurs in India? The book answers this question. This is a real book by a real manufacturing startup entrepreneur. The book is not the result of an intellectual brainstorming session among so-called experts who have no ground experience. Rather, this is a genuine human story comprising of the true events in the startup journey of a manufacturing entrepreneur in India. * Therefore, there are no views. There are only facts. * The challenges faced by a manufacturing startup entrepreneur in India are documented in this book. * The book looks at the 'Make in India' program from a startup entrepreneur's perspective. * The book highlights the reasons as to why Indian entrepreneurs are becoming traders and not manufacturers. * Despite the launch of the Make in India initiative in 2014, as per a study by Nomura (A Japanese Financial Group), between the period April 2018 to August 2019, a total of 56 global manufacturing companies shifted their production base from China. However, only 3 came to India. Whereas 26 of those companies relocated to Vietnam, 11 to Taiwan, and 8 to Thailand. Why? The book provides answers to these questions. * The book also covers as to why 'Make in India' policy shall also focus on encouraging startups in addition to attracting the global companies to India. * The book analyzes the reasons as to why entrepreneurs across India are buying goods from China and selling them in India. From simple common household items like 'Chappal' to 'Agarbatti' to 'Diwali Lights' to 'Holi Pichkaris' to 'Toys' to electrical items such as 'switches' to 'fans' to 'LED' to even our 'Gods' sculptures' are being sourced from China and sold in India. * The book analyzes the reasons for India's massive trade deficit with China (60 + Billion USD). * The book suggests solutions to reduce India's trade deficit with China that in turn can result in massive job creation in the manufacturing sector in India thereby giving a boost to India's GDP growth. * The book also suggests solutions to succeed in the Make in India project besides making Indian manufacturing globally competitive. * Rising wages in China since 2006 should have been an ideal opportunity for India to become a manufacturing superpower, however, as per the world bank data, as of 2018, India's manufacturing output was merely 403 billion US$ in comparison to China's manufacturing output of approximately 4.003 trillion US$. Why? * Recent events such as the Coronavirus global pandemic further presents an opportunity for India to succeed in the Make in India project, however, are our policymakers ready? Are our policymakers willing to listen to the entrepreneurs and make necessary changes in the policy framework?
Structural transformation depends not only on how much countries export but also on what they export and with whom they trade. This paper breaks new ground in analyzing India’s exports by the technological content, quality, sophistication, and complexity of the export basket. We identify five priority areas for policies: (1) reduction of trade costs, at and behind the border; (2) further liberalization of FDI including through simplification of regulations and procedures; (3) improving infrastructure including in urban areas to enhance manufacturing and services in cities; (4) preparing labor resources (skills) and markets (flexibility) for the technological progress that will shape jobs in the years ahead; and (5) creating an enabling environment for innovation and entrepreneurship to draw the economy into higher productivity activities.
The book contributes to the growing literature pertaining to empirical and policy issues in international trade, foreign capital flows and issues in finance, implications for India and emerging economies related to trade and development interface, and analysis of sector level growth and development in India. Further, the focus is on the policy aspects of these themes and their role in fostering economic development in the context of India and other emerging market economies. The discourse focuses mainly on empirical work and econometric details. The relevant issues are investigated using state of the art techniques such as gravity models, panel co-integration, generalized hyperbolic distributions, SEM, FMOLS and Probit models. In addition, detailed literature survey, discussions on data availability, issues related to statistical estimation techniques and a theoretical background, ensure that each chapter significantly contributes to the ever-growing literature on international trade and capital flows. The readers shall find an engaging dialogue on the crucial role played by policy and the trade-capital flows-growth experience of emerging economies. The book is relevant for those who are interested in contemporary issues in trade, growth and finance as well as for students of advanced econometrics who may benefit from the analytical and econometric exposition. The empirical evidences provided here could serve as ready reference for academicians, researchers and policy makers, particularly in emerging economies facing similar challenges.
This book looks at the debates on global value chains (GVCs) and free trade agreements (FTAs) as springboards for industrial development in developing countries, especially India. It connects the outcomes in GVC-led industrial restructuring and upgrading to industrial policy choices in trade and FDI liberalisation, in particular those through FTAs. With the share of manufacturing in GDP stagnant at around 15–16% since the 1980s, India’s policymakers have pinned their hopes on greater integration into GVCs to revitalise the manufacturing sector. The multiple FTAs the country has signed over the last few years, specifically the ones with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), South Korea, Malaysia and Japan have been sought to be rationalised using the same argument. The book argues that failing to factor in the industrial policy causalities involved in sustainable indigenous technology development, structural barriers to the entry into GVCs, the assessments of the available evidence on the adverse impact of trade and FDI liberalisation as well as existing FTAs on firm-level incentives for undertaking domestic production, and the industrial policy constraints imposed by FTAs can prove costly for the trajectories of developing country economies, including India. Rich in data, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of development economics, economics in general, development studies and public policy as well as government bodies, industry experts and policymakers.
A unique examination of the development of the modern Indian economy over the past 150 years.
‘An Interim Evaluation of the Performance of Make in India Program In Information Technology Hardware’ discusses the vital strategies for the success of India's Make in India Program in the IT hardware sector. It also delves into economic game-changers - Demonetization and GST - and their influence on the industry. The outcome also illustrates perception of Industry people about the Make in India Program. This book also underlines role of Academic Institution for Making India self-reliant in the manufacturing of Information Technology Hardware.
Following the end of the Cold War, the economic reforms in the early 1990s, and ensuing impressive growth rates, India has emerged as a leading voice in global affairs, particularly on international economic issues. Its domestic market is fast-growing and India is becoming increasingly important to global geo-strategic calculations, at a time when it has been outperforming many other growing economies, and is the only Asian country with the heft to counterbalance China. Indeed, so much is India defined internationally by its economic performance (and challenges) that other dimensions of its internal situation, notably relevant to security, and of its foreign policy have been relatively neglected in the existing literature. This handbook presents an innovative, high profile volume, providing an authoritative and accessible examination and critique of Indian foreign policy. The handbook brings together essays from a global team of leading experts in the field to provide a comprehensive study of the various dimensions of Indian foreign policy.
After nearly five decades of insulation from world markets, state controls, and slow growth, India embarked in 1991 on a process of liberalization of controls and progressive integration with the global economy in an effort to put its economy on a path of rapid and sustained growth. Despite major changes in the government since then, the thrust on reforms has been maintained. According to the World Bank, only 10 out of 145 countries had more rapid growth than India at over 6 percent per year in the 1990s and two had the same as India's. In this study, T.N. Srinivasan and Suresh D. Tendulkar analyze the economics and politics of India's recent and growing integration with the world economy. They argue that this process has to be nurtured and accelerated if India is to eradicate its poverty and take its rightful place in the global economic system.The study covers the historical roots and the political economy of India's late integration; domestic and external constraints on integration; external capital inflows including foreign direct investment; and India's emerging comparative advantage in the information technology industry and services, particularly computer software. The final chapter offers policy recommendations including proposals that India could make at the ongoing Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations.
This enthralling book offers a new approach to Indian economic history, placing trade and mercantile activity in the region within a global framework.
