Why India
A double engine of growth
India is today the fourth largest economy in the world and is on track to become the third largest by 2030. It represents an unprecedented opportunity for Italian manufacturing companies: on one hand, a rapidly expanding domestic market, and on the other, a strategic industrial platform for serving Asia.
Domestic market
1.4 billion consumers with a rapidly expanding middle class. Domestic demand is growing by double digits every year, driven by urbanization and rising disposable income.
Asia Hub
Strategic industrial platform to diversify global supply chains and serve the entire Asian continent. The "Make in India" program offers concrete incentives to foreign manufacturing companies.
Structural growth
GDP is growing at an annual rate of +71% year-over-year, the highest among the world’s major economies. A strongly pro-industry government agenda and a young, skilled workforce ensure stability and a promising future.
