What began in 2014 under “Make in India” as a drive toward self-reliance has quietly turned into one of the country’s most meaningful manufacturing stories. In 2023-24, India’s manufacturing Gross Value Added rose by 11.9 percent, showing renewed strength across factories and new projects. The sector now makes up roughly 17 percent of the national economy and supports more than 27 million jobs — a testament to its growing role in everyday livelihoods.
Local entrepreneurs, small-scale producers, and startups are now joining larger industrial players. Electronics manufacturing alone has grown nearly six-fold in the last decade, creating around 2.5 million jobs and helping India become one of the world’s biggest centres for smartphones and gadgets. Indian manufacturers are earning trust not just through lower prices, but by building quality, reliability, and supply chains that reflect local strengths. Communities are finding opportunity, cities are evolving with new factories, and skilled workers are returning pride to “Made in India.”
This 2025 edition honours those who kept faith in local potential—the makers, innovators, and new-age manufacturers who are quietly redefining what “Made in India” stands for.
