Raghav T.V., President – Makino India, and DMI Industry Influencer 2022 presents the ways in which Makino India has contributed to the growth of the Indian manufacturing industry leveraging its legacy of 25 years of operations in India.
Industry Vision
Machine Tools have a critical role in shaping the manufacturing industry and the economic growth of any country. India’s machine tool industry has consistently worked on enriching its products – through better productivity, quality, design, product development and aesthetics.
The government has announced the “Make in India” campaign, which will definitely boost manufacturing sector of India with a vision for the country to emerge as a global manufacturing hub. The key drivers of the industry are rapid growth of the automotive industry and favourable initiatives by the government. It should encourage global R&D houses to set-up shop in India in partnership with Indian companies. India, making its presence felt in the global market, faces stiff competition from countries like China and Taiwan on cost competitiveness and countries like Japan and Germany in technology.
To increase its focus on R&D activities, the industry needs to create a suitable environment for technology transfer from developed countries and increased investments through manufacturing-focused initiatives from the government.
The outlook for the Indian machine tools industry looks positive in the years to come. Efforts on developing sophisticated tools to empower the high-end manufacturing sectors, can help the machine tools industry enter an era of significant growth.
