The Make in India initiative was launched with an aim to empower the Indian manufacturing industry and make India a global manufacturing hub. After more than 7 years, the manufacturing scenario in India has changed significantly and local as well global brands are investing in India to avail this ongoing benefit.
While sharing his views on the overall impact of Make in India programme on India’s manufacturing industry, Vikram Redlapalli, Founder & CEO, RDP said, “GOI is really doing an awesome job on the ground to make India as a global manufacturing hub in electronics (IT Hardware). The leadership team Union Minister Shri Ashwini Vyshnav and MOS Shri Rajeev Chandrashekar are really listening to the industry’s need and they are hands on the job along with MeitY and Industry bodies like MAIT. GOI has released a vision document also for 2026 goal which is 300Bn$ electronics manufacturing from current 75$. Based on the vision document they are driving all the initiatives like PLI and making MII mandatory in GeM.”
RDP Betting Big on Local Manufacturing
Undoubtedly local leading players like RDP in IT Hardware are taking huge benefits because of the govt initiatives. “Because of the Make In India Initiative, we are getting huge demand so we are opening a new manufacturing facility in Hyderabad in 35K sft to capacity to make 3L devices per year. We are planning to take 25% of GeM computer hardware market share by 2024. Because of MII, we are providing an additional employment to 100 people currently and 200 more in the coming quarters. If Indian corporates also make mandatory to buy MII then the dynamics will change completely,” conclude by Vikram.
