  • India: The Next Big Manufacturing Superpower

    India: The Next Big Manufacturing Superpower

    New Delhi [India], February 25: India has transformed itself in the last 10 years – from being the 5th Largest Economy, having the highest population & having the 2nd Largest Road Network in the World. In the Wake of Escalating Trade Wars between United States & its largest trading Partners – China, Mexico & Canada. Does India have a chance to become the Next Big Manufacturing Superpower? Answer is yes.

    India is a large country by sheer size with abundant availability of land to set up Manufacturing plants.
    It has the highest population in the World, a very large young population that is entering work force, making the cost of labor low as compared to most of the major countries. Government is pushing its narrative of “Make in India” Strategy. Moreover, India has launched a “Production Linked Incentive” or “PLI” Scheme in the last few years to Incentivize factories to increase manufacturing & become more competitive in the Export market. In the latest Budget 2025, India’s Finance Minister Laid Out Initiatives to Increase Funding to the Medium & Small-Scale industries, along with a Boost in spending for Infrastructure – Beneficial to Boost Overall Exports.

    Indian Government is making efforts to Improve its Infrastructure for Logistics. India has now the 2nd Largest Road Network in the World, only after USA, which is a significant improvement in the last decade. It has launched a detailed “Logistics Policy” to modernize Ports & Railway. With the Modernization of Infrastructure, India aims to reduce Logistics Costs from the current 14-18% of GDP to come closer to the Global Average of 8%, making it more attractive in the Export Market.

    Intensifying USA Trade War with China, Mexico, Canada

    With the Trade War intensifying between USA – China, Mexico, Canada – India has now a clear advantage. All US Importers are now looking at Diversifying their Supply chain & reducing their dependence on these countries, while looking to enter New Markets like – India, Vietnam, Thailand, among others.

    India has a definite advantage over others. With its manpower, land & Infrastructure, India can help match the Scale of operations needed to Produce & Export to Countries like US & major EU countries. It also offers an Excellent Infrastructure like a Long Coastline, Deep Sea ports, Growing Number of Airports, Improved Road network & Modernization of Rail Network.

    What are the Commodities that India can focus on?

    • Automobiles, engines, transmissions and other components. GM & a few other Automobile companies including Stellantis, Toyota & Honda make as much as 40% of their North American cars / Trucks in Canada & Mexico.
    • Mobile Phones: China today is the biggest Source of Electronics /Smart Phones Imports into USA. However, the Smartphone Manufacturing in India is growing Rapidly. In 2024, Apple i-Phones manufactured in India accounted for 15% of Apple’s global production capacity.  India is now the 2nd -largest mobile phone manufacturer globally, with over 200 manufacturing facilities.
    • Semi-Conductor/Chips: Several Makers of Chips and Semi-conductor companies like TSMC, Nvidia & ASML are likely to be impacted due to their Global Supply chains include factories in Mexico and China. India has a vision to Grow Semiconductor & has recently launched ‘India Semiconductor Mission (ISM)’ to boost manufacturing.

    To summarize, for India, the Time is Now! India’s Story can be similar to what China’s was in the 1990-2010 decades. If India continues its efforts on improving its Manufacturing Ecosystem & reducing Bureaucracies & Roadblocks, then becoming the Next Big Superpower of Manufacturing will soon be a Reality, rather than just a dream.

This marks a significant milestone for the company as it continues to reshape Ahmedabad’s skyline with modern and thoughtfully designed residential spaces.

    The Sakal Apartment redevelopment will transform the ageing residential complex into a premium high-rise development comprising four buildings of 12 storeys and four buildings of 13 storeys. The project ensures an upgraded lifestyle for the 246 existing residents, who will move into spacious, modern homes.

The development will feature state-of-the-art amenities, including a clubhouse, gymnasium, garden, children’s play areas, and dedicated parking facilities, offering a holistic and enriched living experience.

    Spread over 13,300 square yards, the project is set to be one of the largest private redevelopment initiatives in Naranpura. Upon completion, it will house a total of 376 residential units. The construction is expected to be completed within three years.

    Commenting on the project, Kartik Soni, Founder and Chairman of Swara Group, said, “This project represents our vision of creating modern, well-planned residential spaces that elevate the residents’ lifestyles. We are thankful to the members of Sakal Apartment for their trust in us. It took us one and a half years to convince them for redevelopment and we are thrilled that this project is happening.

  • PS Gahlaut Hails Cabinet Approval for DAP Subsidy and Crop Insurance Overhaul

    PS Gahlaut Hails Cabinet Approval for DAP Subsidy and Crop Insurance Overhaul

    New Delhi [India], February 24: In a recent landmark decision, the Indian government approved a significant financial package aimed at supporting Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertilizer manufacturers and revamping crop insurance schemes. PS Gahlaut, Managing Director of Indian Potash Limited (IPL), offers his insightful perspective on the implications of this policy shift, emphasizing the importance of reducing dependency on fertilizer imports and bolstering domestic production to ensure long-term sustainability. He opines, “This move, which involves a hefty subsidy of ₹3,850 crore for DAP fertilizers and an extended ₹69,515 crore outlay for crop insurance until 2025-26, is a crucial intervention to stabilize the agricultural sector.”

    Dr. Gahlaut acknowledges the immediate relief these measures provide to farmers, particularly in light of rising global fertilizer prices and the increasing volatility of international markets. “The subsidies are expected to lower the cost burden on farmers, enabling them to access essential inputs more affordably. Similarly, the revamped crop insurance schemes aim to offer better risk coverage, safeguarding farmers against unpredictable weather patterns and crop failures. However, while these initiatives address short-term challenges, the need for a more strategic approach to fortify the agricultural sector against future disruptions,” says PS Gahlaut.

    One of the primary concerns Dr. Gahlaut raises is India’s heavy reliance on imported fertilizers, which accounts for over 50% of its total fertilizer needs. This dependency, particularly acute in the case of potash where nearly 90% is imported, leaves the country vulnerable to global supply chain disruptions and price fluctuations. PS Gahlaut argues, “This scenario underscores the urgent need to develop a robust indigenous fertilizer industry. He advocates for leveraging India’s substantial reserves of natural minerals, such as the phosphate rock found in Rajasthan, which remains significantly underexploited.”

    To curb these concerns, Dr. Gahlaut also highlights the importance of enhancing domestic production capabilities through targeted investments in mining and manufacturing. He points to the necessity of advancing research and development (R&D) in the fertilizer sector, which could lead to the creation of innovative, high-efficiency fertilizers tailored to the unique needs of Indian agriculture. These advancements could not only reduce the overall consumption of chemical inputs but also improve crop yields and soil health, contributing to a more sustainable agricultural ecosystem.

    Another critical element in this strategy, according to Dr. Gahlaut, is the fostering of Public-Private-Producer Partnerships. “The development of a vibrant fertilizer industry requires substantial capital investment and technological expertise. By encouraging collaborations between the government and private enterprises, the necessary infrastructure for large-scale production can be established,” opines PS Gahlaut. He also suggests that the government could incentivize this process by offering tax rebates, subsidies for R&D initiatives, and reduced costs for essential inputs like natural gas, which is a key component in fertilizer production.

    Moreover, Dr. Gahlaut underscores the environmental benefits of increasing domestic fertilizer production. Locally manufactured fertilizers would reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change. He also points to the potential for promoting organic and bio-fertilizers, which can enhance soil fertility and reduce the environmental impact of conventional farming practices.

    While concluding, he mentions, “While the Cabinet’s recent financial aid and insurance reforms are laudable steps towards supporting farmers, a long-term vision focusing on self-reliance in fertilizer production is imperative. Such a strategy would not only mitigate the risks associated with global market dependencies but also ensure the resilience and prosperity of India’s agricultural sector.”

  • VIBGYOR Group of Schools: Bringing Cambridge Pathway to India’s Young Learners

    VIBGYOR Group of Schools: Bringing Cambridge Pathway to India’s Young Learners

    New Delhi [India], February 24: In today’s rapidly evolving education landscape, preparing students for a globalised world has become essential. Edupreneur and Founder Chairman Rustom Kerawalla’s VIBGYOR Group of Schools stands at the forefront of this transformation, equipping students with critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities and a broad worldview. The K12 chain has embraced the Cambridge International Education (CIE) curriculum, ensuring students receive a globally recognised and academically rigorous education, setting them up for success on the global stage.

    VIBGYOR’s Commitment to Global Learning

    VIBGYOR Group of Schools has integrated the CIE curriculum into its diverse academic offerings. By integrating, it ensures that students receive a comprehensive education that not only meets international standards but also nurtures critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

    The CIE curriculum is currently available at VIBGYOR High campuses in Airoli, Goregaon, Kolhapur, Marathahalli, NIBM and Vadodara, enabling students across multiple locations to benefit from this world-class education.

    Recently, VIBGYOR also announced VIBGYOR World Academy – first-of-its-kind in Bhopal and Nagpur. These two new schools exclusively offer the Cambridge curriculum by aligning with international standards, high-quality resources and expert teaching that paves a clear path for educational success. These schools have been envisioned keeping in mind our learners and thoroughly preparing them to excel on the global stage.

    Benefits of the CIE Curriculum

    The Cambridge curriculum is gaining widespread adoption in India due to its ability to merge global learning standards with local relevance, aligning with the country’s changing educational priorities. Take a look at its benefits below:

    • Multidisciplinary Approach: Known for promoting critical thinking, problem-solving, and inquiry-based learning, the CIE curriculum complements the multidisciplinary approach of NEP 2020, preparing students for a globalised world while staying rooted in their cultural heritage.
    • Adaptable Framework: Its adaptable framework allows schools to blend local traditions with international content, offering a well-rounded educational experience.
    • Focus on Real-world Skills: It is enriched with co-curricular programmes that emphasise real-world skills and equips students with essential soft skills such as problem-solving, independent research, analytical thinking and communication.
    • Experiential Learning: A hallmark of the CIE curriculum is its emphasis on experiential learning and skill-based education.
    • Globally Recognized: CIE qualifications, including IGCSE and A-Levels, are widely accepted by top universities and employers around the world.
    • Assessment for Learning: The examination system is designed to assess a student’s true understanding through application-based questions rather than relying solely on theoretical knowledge.
    • Seamless Transition to Higher Education: CIE qualifications prepare students for competitive exams and higher studies, equipping them with the skills needed for success in university and beyond.

    Why VIBGYOR? 

    At VIBGYOR, we believe education should be more than just textbooks and exams. With the Cambridge curriculum, we bring learning to life through hands-on projects and technology-driven teaching, helping students build essential skills like communication, teamwork, and digital literacy.
