Question Q.2GS3GS3
Why does India need to transition from a 'build to print' to a 'build to design' model in manufacturing? What steps have been taken by the government in this regard?
Main Body
The National Manufacturing Policy aims to increase manufacturing's share in GDP from ~16% to ~25% to achieve sustainable growth. Need to transition from 'build to print' to 'build to design': - Higher Value Addition - printing adds only a small value (≤20%) - design gives access to IPP & greater value addition (≥50%) Ex Apple's share in China made iPhones is ~80% - Spillover effects - designing boosts R&D which has positive spill-overs to other sectors↑ in productivity across the value chain - Expansion of manufacturing sector - allows a country to transition from low value assembly, testing, packaging ATP to high-value manufacturing - Diversification - manufacturing different kinds of products based on simple changes in designgreater consumer satisfaction Govt Measures: - Design Linked Incentive DLI - sub-component of India Semiconductor Mission - PLI schemes - incentives tied to value addition - Promotion of Atal Tinkering Labs - Skill development Initiatives - Chips to Startup Thus a design-led manufacturing ecosystem would help in creating a sustainable & resilient manufacturing sector
