India’s manufacturing sector has made significant progress, and the government believes that the current flurry of FTAs will help integrate Indian products more deeply into global supply chains. By aligning domestic standards with international benchmarks, the manufacturing sector is becoming more competitive in terms of both quality and pricing. The Prime Minister explained that the strategy is to move toward high-value engineered goods that are less susceptible to global market volatility. This integration is vital for achieving the nation’s long-term goal of $1 trillion in merchandise exports by the end of the decade.
