India's manufacturing sector — one of the fastest-growing economies of scale globally — crossed ₹32 lakh crore in FY2025 and grew ~14% CAGR since 2020. PLI schemes across 14 sectors (electronics, mobile phones, batteries, solar, textiles, pharma, food processing, medical devices, drones, telecom equipment, IT hardware, white goods) have anchored capacity additions and export competitiveness.
For B2B teams — factory automation SaaS, MES/ERP platforms, industrial IoT, testing and certification services, factory-finance NBFCs, quality-management and PLM solutions — the addressable universe is thousands of listed and mid-tier manufacturers across every state.
