During 1990s Economic liberalization opened the nation up to foreign competition. The manufacturing sector opened up, attracting more international investment and advancing technology. With digital transformation being a crucial component of obtaining an advantage in this fiercely competitive sector, technology has presently fostered creative thinking. It is anticipated that increased automation and process-oriented manufacturing will boost efficiency as well as productivity in the nation's manufacturing industry. The manufacturing industry employs about 27.3 million people and contributes 17% of the country's GDP to the Indian economy. The Indian government aims to increase the share of manufacturing in the country's GDP to 25% by 2025 through the implementation of several policies and programs.
