In recent discussions surrounding Industry 4.0 in India, significant emphasis has been placed on the potential benefits of adopting advanced manufacturing technologies. A report released by the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) and Capgemini highlights how embracing Industry 4.0 could propel India’s manufacturing sector to contribute 25% of the nation’s GDP by FY26, targeting a $1.1 trillion industry.
The report advocates for enhanced investments and improved technological readiness to create smart, interconnected factories that drive efficiency and innovation. Key recommendations include scaling up foundational technology and enhancing workforce capabilities to fully leverage digitalization. This transition is seen as crucial for meeting national growth objectives while also addressing global competitive pressures.
As companies in India begin to adopt these advanced technologies, the focus will not only be on immediate gains but also on long-term sustainability and innovation in manufacturing processes.
