Make in India: How Automation is Driving Manufacturing Growth
The Make in India initiative, launched to transform India into a global manufacturing hub, has been a catalyst for industrial automation adoption. As India attracts manufacturing investments from companies diversifying their supply chains, the demand for automation infrastructure and skilled engineers is reaching unprecedented levels.
Several factors make automation indispensable for Make in India success. Global manufacturers expect Indian factories to meet international quality standards, which requires automated quality inspection systems. Export competitiveness demands high production efficiency, achievable only through automation. And increasingly strict regulatory requirements for documentation and traceability are best met through SCADA systems with comprehensive data logging.
The sectors seeing the highest automation investment under Make in India include electronics manufacturing, semiconductor fabrication, electric vehicle production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, aerospace and defence, and textile production. Each of these sectors is establishing new manufacturing facilities in India with cutting-edge automation systems.
This creates a virtuous cycle: more manufacturing investment leads to more automation demand, which leads to more job opportunities for trained automation engineers. EDWartens is actively partnering with companies establishing manufacturing operations in India to provide them with well-trained automation professionals through our placement programme.
