Its not suprising that the Indian manufacturers are starting to be noticed. They have world-class engineers and expertise. All we need are capital infusion, better roads and more reliable power situation.
With better power and transport infrastructure, main hurdles for competitive manufacturing will be removed soon. I can't wait for Reliance's KG gas to start delivering a steady, reliable power and ABV's roads providing a smooth transportation of the goods.
If there is a problem area, I would say that Indian manufacturers have really old and outdated equipment. Because of previous restrictions over the last 50 years, we also got into a habit of making do with used machines. I hope this has been changing over the last decade but personally, I have not seen such an attitude change yet.
