The Impact Of Indian Manufacturing In India

Improved Essays
When some people think of manufacturing in India, they imagine people working in crowded wooden huts, building largely outdated products, and lacking any sort of technological aid. However, what many fail to realize, is that this idea of Indian manufacturing is as outdated as India 's near century old labor laws. Indian manufacturing has progressed immensely in recent years. Even with India being projected to become a major worldwide manufacturing power by 2025, some still believe that the aforementioned labor laws and government restrictions are limiting international interest and investment in India 's manufacturing sector. But, this is simply not the case in modern day India. Recent amendments to the most outdated government restrictions …show more content…
Manufacturing in India has averaged a 9% growth in output annually over the past few years. In 2014, Indian manufacturing had a record growth of 12.3% (Manufacturing Companies in India). This growth in manufacturing output is one of the highest seen since the American Industrial Revolution, and this can be generally attributed to international companies investing in Indian manufacturing. Within the past twelve months, twelve different international manufacturers have pledged over 45 billion U.S. dollars in investments to Indian manufacturing projects, planned to add over 50,000 jobs within the next year, and promised over twelve new, large-scale manufacturing plants throughout India (Manufacturing Sector in India). These companies are coming to India because they see the advantages of India’s highly skilled workforce and relatively cheap labor. They are not being deterred by the strong government interference in …show more content…
The point of this program is to have the Indian government work in conjunction with major international manufacturers, and help international companies through the government restrictions. At this point, this program has successfully secured over seventeen international manufacturing projects from various industries, and it has reformed several labor laws to make them more accommodating to modern day businesses (New Initiatives). Because some of the stricter government regulations have been relaxed by this program, it eases companies’ minds that they can be free to grow in India without government interference. And, it further proves that international interest in Indian manufacturing has not been deterred by government red

    In 1991, India adopted free market reform policies propelling the nation into a period of rapid economic growth, rising GDP (gross domestic product), and in turn classifying the nation among the largest economic powers. Yet, despite these apparent successes India still struggles with deeply rooted inequality and extreme levels of poverty that threaten the notion and triumphs of free trade—a policy in which countries can trade with other nations without the installment of government quotas or restrictions. In The Age of Milton Freidman, Andrei Shleifer makes the case for free trade, stating that it has significantly helped countries decrease poverty and improve quality of life. The argument presented in An Uncertain Glory by Jean Drèze and Amaryta…

While it is too early to analyze the effects of Trump’s protectionist policies, the IT world remains apprehensive partly due to Trump’s anti-trade campaign rhetoric. “With the value of IT-related exports now surpassing $100 Billion annually,” Arup Roy, an analyst at Gartner argues that if Trump’s campaign promise transpires, the IT industry, particularly Indian companies will face a dampening effect on growth prospects. The newly elected president promises to take a tougher stance on offshore service companies.…

    Both sides of the capitalism rift often express disdain for the other, each side firm in their beliefs on what is best for the global economy with the focus being primarily on developing economies. Pro-capitalists have gone so far as calling capitalist critics a “ragtag army of save-the-world crusaders” (Meredith and Hoppough), and pro-capitalist economists have been accused of being guided by “badly flawed models” and missing real-world problems by anti-capitalists (Tverberg). This long-standing rift will continue until developing countries’ economies finally rival those of developed countries and developing countries are on equal footing in the new world economy. Until then, each side will continue to advocate their stances by using poor…

    Brazil and India have adopted policies in order to fit themselves snuggly into the Golden Straitjacket in order to emerge into the international market. The first tenet for fitting into Friedman’s Golden Straitjacket is “making the private sector the primary engine of its economic growth” (Friedman, p. 61). India and Brazil have both privatized industries that were once strictly controlled by the government. Brazil’s 1988 federal constitution consolidated the state’s monopoly over oil and gas production but a constitutional amendment in 1995 liberalized the country’s oil and gas regime (Sennes & Narcisco, p. 40). The Oil Law of 1997 reduced the government’s participation in the state owned natural gas and oil production company Petrobras to…

    At least half of the global population live in poverty with half of this population living in complete destitution, living on a dollar a day and at risk of death by starvation or disease. One billion people live without access to safe drinking water and two billion people live with no sanitation. (Ukpere, 2014) Global poverty is an increasing problem in the world and the goal of ending poverty is elusive. Solutions to poverty cannot be based exclusively on economic policies as there are both monetary or monetary plus non-monetary components of poverty such as hunger, disease, lack of education, government corruption or natural disasters which contribute to the problems that make the lives of those living in poverty more difficult than those…
