The manufacturing sector of the Indian economy has been one of the key contributors to the nation's GDP and has been particularly burdened with overarching expectations of rapid growth which could change the fortunes of India, yet historically remains one that has not been able to deliver on those high expectations. In this paper, secondary research has been used to understand the structure of India's manufacturing sector, major contributing industries, regions, and other factors which have contributed to the growth or stagnation of the manufacturing sector in various regions. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities which lie ahead for the Indian manufacturing sector.
