INDIA: THE LAND
OF GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES
The Indian
economics is booming day by day because of Engineering
Industry, India has great future due to swift
expansion in manufacturing Industries. The growing
super power has finally emerged as a force to
reckon with.
India’s
Strength at a Glance
- World’s largest pool of
skilled manpower
- Second largest purchasing power
surrounded by emerging and rapidly booming economies.
- Diverse Industrial base –
over 2,00,000 private sector factories and 2
million cottage and small scale Industries
- High priority to Infrastructure
development
- Rapid economic, fiscal and monetary
reforms
GUJARAT: THE INDUSTRIAL
POWERHOUSE
Situated in
the western coast of India it has a positive business
climate for MNCs and big business houses. Gujarat
is Entrepreneurs’ paradise having attracted
the highest amount of foreign Investment during
Vibrant Gujarat announcement as India’s
fastest rising state.
Gujarat is
the focal point of Engineering Commerce. All the
industries have been given a tough competition
by its sector. Infrastructure and resources have
attracted most of the global players in this industry
to incorporate India on their own maps.
Ahmedabad
at one stage has known as Manchester of India
due to its massive textile production. It lost
its prime position in Late 80s & 90s due to
Government policies and distortion in labor laws.
Now with liberalization and abolition of quota
system once again it is back towards the lost
glory As far as petrochemical and petroleum products
are concerned Gujarat it gifted with huge fossils
resumes which has created massive petrochemical
complex at Hazira Vadodara and Now at Jamnagar
where Asia’s large RIL Refinery is set up
with second phase of RIL net growth
will have pride to be # 1 refinery center. Gujarat
has extremely done well in Dye, Chemical and now
it produces more than 50% of drugs. On flip side
Gujarat is not doing well in upcoming technologies
such as IT, Bio, Nano and even Hi-tech electronics
it is not performed destinationation for MNCs
due to inadequate technical main power with English
language is major barrier. To some extant social
infrastructure is not up to the mark e.g. Education
and partly prohibition policy has its major role
is not attracting talent from national institute.
Gujarat has
fully utilized the post liberalization era of
economy. It has improved infrastructure and has
created industry friendly atmosphere by reshaping
by its policies. Also it has developed linkages
between NRGs through events like vibrant Gujarat,
Kite flying etc. The state offer excellent infrastructure
like roads connected to almost each & every
metro cities, Electricity (comparatively better
than neighboring states
Law, order and thrust on improved social infrastructure
Industrial
Automation (Instrumentation) and
Its
New Technology Information
Industrial automation can
and will generate explosive growth with technology
related to new inflection points: nanotechnology
and nanoscale assembly systems; MEMS and nanotech
sensors (tiny, low-power, low-cost sensors) which
can measure everything and anything; and the pervasive
Internet, machine to machine (M2M) networking.
Real-time systems will give way to multifaceted
adaptive systems and multi-processing. The prospect
belongs to nanotech, wireless everything, and
complex adaptive systems.
Major new software applications will be in wireless
sensors and distributed peer-to-peer networks
– tiny operating systems in wireless sensor
nodes, and the software that allows nodes to communicate
with each other as a larger complex adaptive system.
That is the wave of the future.
Automated factories and processes are too expensive
to be rebuilt for every modification and design
change – so they have to be highly configurable
and flexible. To successfully reconfigure an entire
production line or process requires direct access
to most of its control elements – switches,
valves, motors and drives – down to a fine
level of detail.
The vision of fully automated factories has already
existed for some time now: customers order online,
with electronic transactions that negotiate batch
size (in some cases as low as one), price, size
and color; intelligent robots and sophisticated
machines smoothly and rapidly fabricate a variety
of customized products on demand
The assumption has always been that the US and
other industrialized nations will keep leading
in knowledge-intensive industries while developing
nations focus on lower skills and lower labor
costs. That's now changed. The impact of the wholesale
entry of 2.5 billion people (China and India)
into the global economy will bring big new challenges
and amazing opportunities.
Beyond just labor, many businesses (including
major automation companies) are also outsourcing
knowledge work such as design and engineering
services. This trend has already become significant,
causing joblessness not only for manufacturing
labor, but also for traditionally high-paying
engineering positions.
Innovation is the true source of value, and that
is in danger of being dissipated – sacrificed
to a short-term search for profit, the capitalistic
quarterly profits syndrome. Countries like Japan
and Germany will tend to benefit from their longer-term
business perspectives. But, significant competition
is coming from many rapidly developing countries
with expanding technology prowess. So, marketing
speed and business agility will be offsetting
advantages.
The winning differences
In a global market, there
are three keys that constitute the winning edge:
- Proprietary products: developed
quickly and inexpensively (and perhaps globally),
with a continuous stream of upgrade and adaptation
to maintain leadership.
- High-value-added products: proprietary
products and knowledge offered through effective
global service providers, tailored to specific
customer needs.
- Global yet local services: the
special needs and custom requirements of remote
customers must be handled locally, giving them
the feeling of partnership and proximity.
Instrumentation
industry is an integral part of Engineering Industry.
GUJARAT: GETTING
EQUIPPED FOR THE FUTURE
- Extensive
Infrastructure facilities.
- Least man-days
lost amongst all major Industrial states.
- The most
supportive and flexible state government
- Highest
flow of foreign direct Investment
- Largest
number of infrastructure projects under implementations
- A Progressive
Industrial Policy
