NITI Aayog (in collaboration with knowledge partner CRISIL Intelligence) released the landmark report titled “Key Sectors to Position India as a Global Manufacturing Hub (Volume-I)”. About NITI **Aayog Report **on Key Sectors to Position India as a Global Manufacturing Hub: The report establishes an evidence-based roadmap to help India transition from a domestic consumption-driven market into a globally competitive manufacturing powerhouse by Viksit Bharat@2047. Targeting High Manufacturing GVA: Aims to raise the manufacturing sector’s contribution from its stagnant 17.5% of GVA to support India’s USD 30 trillion economy vision by 2047. Additional Context: A recent study by Centre for Social and Economic Progress (CSEP) and IMF estimates India needs USD 467 billion by 2030 to decarbonize its power, steel, cement, and road transport sectors, which contribute over 50% of CO2 emissions.
Prelims: Economy — institutions, terminology and factual features connected with the development.
Mains: GS-3 — contemporary application of the relevant syllabus theme.
Current-static link: Revise the underlying institution, policy or concept together with this development.
Context: NITI Aayog (in collaboration with knowledge partner CRISIL Intelligence) released the landmark report titled “Key Sectors to Position India as a Global Manufacturing Hub (Volume-I)”.

The report establishes an evidence-based roadmap to help India transition from a domestic consumption-driven market into a globally competitive manufacturing powerhouse by Viksit Bharat@2047.
Out of an initial universe of 62 sectors mapped on a market size-growth matrix, 12 high-potential sectors were shortlisted across a 4-phase evaluation framework.
Targeting High Manufacturing GVA: Aims to raise the manufacturing sector’s contribution from its stagnant 17.5% of GVA to support India’s USD 30 trillion economy vision by 2047.
Harnessing the Demographic Dividend: Leverages India’s young median age (~28 years) to create formal, high-productivity jobs across industrial ecosystems.
Global Benchmarking Approach: Benchmarks domestic manufacturing capabilities against global industrial leaders (such as China, Vietnam, Singapore, Germany, and South Korea).
Chemicals Sector Expansion: Targets expanding the domestic chemical market from $200–220 billion in FY25 to $290–310 billion by FY30, aiming for a 5–6% share in global chemical consumption.
India needs USD 467 billion by 2030 to decarbonize its power, steel, cement, and road transport sectors, which contribute over 50% of CO2 emissions.
Decarbonising steel, cement, and power sectors alone could mitigate about 6.9 billion tonnes of CO₂ by 2030.
India has already achieved 2.29 billion tonnes of carbon sinks by 2021.
India has already achieved 36% reduction in emissions intensity by 2020.
India aims to create 2.5–3 billion tonnes of carbon sinks by 2030.
