flag India's manufacturing growth driven by PLI scheme faces challenges despite rising exports and a forecasted 7%+ growth.

flag India’s manufacturing sector has seen strong growth due to the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, with steel, electronics, and medical devices output rising significantly and exports expanding. flag Despite this progress, challenges remain, including limited land availability, high industrial power prices, and inadequate workforce skills. flag Arvind Virmani of Niti Aayog highlighted these as key state-level barriers, noting that while central reforms have improved the business environment, global headwinds and competition from China have dampened sentiment. flag He emphasized the need for broader education and skilling reforms, criticized the outdated Index of Industrial Production, and expressed optimism, raising India’s growth forecast to over 7% due to structural reforms and deeper integration into global supply chains through new trade agreements.
