Jamshedpur in Northeast India was a forest a hundred years ago. It was Jamsetji Tata that set up the first modern steel plant there ever in India. It has thus become a modern city and the base camp of the Tata Group, India’s largest private group with over 90 companies in various sectors. “India will lead the world’s manufacturing industry some day in the future, like the way China does now,” comments B. Muthuraman, the managing director of Tata Steel, confidently. He holds that the manufacturing industry is the actual pair of wings that will let India ascend to the sky. “A resurgence of the manufacturing sector in India is underway,” remarked India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during Hannover Fair’s opening ceremony. “Over the past two years, this sector achieved growth rates of nine to ten per cent. We aim to raise this to 12 per cent in the near future.” During this fair, the Indian exhibitors outnumbered Chinese ones for the first time. The current India is very much like China in the early 1990s. Construction sites and industrial parks are seen everywhere nearlarge cities like New Delhi, Bombay and Calcutta. Lately, the In- dian government set up the High Level Committee on Manufacturing, chaired by the prime minister, so as to boost the development of that sector and to sus- tain a growth rate of 12 percent. The slogan of the committee is “Made in India”. For a decade, “made in China” has been frequently referred to in the global economic and industrial arena. Now, a new player is chasing after China swiftly from the opposite side of the Himalaya. The potential of India will never be ignored.
