Certain sub-sectors within manufacturing will continue to do exceptionally well. High-tech electronics manufacturing, critical minerals, recycling, materials, etc. will continue to see strong growth in the foreseeable future. Regulatory tailwinds, ‘Make-in-India’ program, large domestic market, and focus on supply chain diversification are accelerating the growth in this sector.
