India as a Global Manufacturing Hub: Supply Chain Competitiveness
The world is rewiring its supply chains. China's manufacturing monopoly is fracturing. India stands at the most consequential industrial crossroads in its post-independence history. This book tells you exactly what to do about it.
India as a Global Manufacturing Hub is a rigorous, 250-page academic and professional guide for BBA and MBA students and management professionals who need to understand - and act on - India's manufacturing transformation.
What makes this book different
Most manufacturing strategy books offer data and description. This book offers a method: the Five-Phase First Principles Framework - applied to every chapter - that strips every topic down to its irreducible truths and rebuilds strategy from zero. The result is analysis that goes where conventional thinking cannot reach.
What you will learn
- Why India's geopolitical trust - not just its cost - is its defining manufacturing advantage in the post-2020 world
- How to decode the US-China decoupling, the Quad, IPEF, and BRICS+ expansion as manufacturing strategy variables
- The real story behind PLI schemes, PM Gati Shakti, PM MITRA, the Semiconductor Mission, and Green Hydrogen - what is working and what is not
- Sector-by-sector analyses of electronics, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, defence, textiles, and clean energy
- Why India's implementation gap - not its policy gap - is the binding constraint on manufacturing transformation
- A phased, actionable Manufacturing Vision 2035 roadmap with measurable milestones
- Three scenario analyses (Breakout, Muddling Through, Stagnation) to stress-test any manufacturing strategy
Real cases. Real data. Real recommendations.
Ten detailed case studies - including Apple/Foxconn's India expansion, BrahMos exports, Bangladesh vs India in garments, China's API dominance over India's pharmaceutical sector, and TSMC's concentration risk - are woven throughout to ground the analysis in ground-level reality. All data and policy references are current to 2026.
Who this book is for
- BBA and MBA students in supply chain management, international business, industrial policy, and strategy
- Management professionals making investment, sourcing, and market entry decisions in India's manufacturing ecosystem
- Policymakers and civil servants who need frameworks, not just facts, to drive industrial transformation
- Entrepreneurs seeking the supply chain gaps that represent India's largest unmet business opportunities
