Why is it worth investing in production in India?


The Indian manufacturing sector experiences significant capital expenditure (capex) in various critical areas. The country is developing its infrastructure with projects such as high-speed trains, expanding the road network and developing renewable energy sources. Additionally, urban infrastructure is developing rapidly, including metro and airport networks. These initiatives create significant investment opportunities.


Capex trends in the central and state regions


India’s focus on strengthening key sectors such as railways, ports and highways is evident. The government plans to modernize railway infrastructure, including introducing advanced trains such as Bullet and Vande Bharat. Moreover, significant investments are being made in road expansion and digitization to increase efficiency and safety.


Development of Urban Infrastructure


The Indian aviation market ranks third in the world and plans to develop 100 airports by 2024 under the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS). To support this development, the government is committed to investing in new terminals, modernizing existing facilities and strengthening runways.


Green energy initiatives


India is aiming to achieve a target of 500 GW of green energy by 2030, which will entail significant investment in transmission and distribution. This transformation also affects the automotive sector, which is moving towards electric and fuel cell technologies.


Investment expenditure on defense and independence


The Indian defense sector is poised for growth, with significant domestic procurement opportunities worth $100-120 billion over the next few years. The government’s emphasis on self-reliance creates opportunities for domestic producers.
