Industry Overview

Manufacturing is a key contributor to the economic development of any nation. The Capital Goods sector is critical to the manufacturing sector as it provides the much needed machinery and equipment to various manufacturing sectors such as Engineering, Construction, Infrastructure, Consumer goods, amongst others. The Capital Goods industry contributes about 12% to the total manufacturing activity in India which translates to about 2% of GDP. However, this is far lower compared with other countries such as China where the sector contributes 4.1% to its overall economy, 3.4% in Germany, and 2.8% in South Korea. Quite clearly India is less capital intensive than these nations and as the proportion increases will lead to exponential growth with improved Incremental Capital Output Ratio (ICOR). The capital goods market In India is fragmented with majority of operational units in the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) sector, beyond few large players. These are involved in low-value added fabrication and assembly works and cater to small segments of a sub-sector, often serving domestic demand only. Due to their low scale of operation they are unable to compete effectively with large foreign competitors. The growth of the Capital Goods sector in India has been led by increasing demand. However, the sector is less self-sufficient and depends upon imports to meet its domestic requirements to a large extent. The country meets almost 40% of its demand through imports. In order to reduce dependence on imports and boost domestic manufacturing, the Government of India came up with various measures such as National Manufacturing Plan (2012), Make in India (2014) and National Capital Goods Policy (2016). The National Capital Goods Policy (2016) envisages increasing production capital goods from Rs. 230,000 crore in 2014-15 to Rs. 750,000 crore in 2025. It envisages increasing exports from 27% in 2014-15 to 40% in 2025 of production while increasing share of domestic production in India’s demand from 60% to 80%, thus making India a net exporter of capital goods.
