Capital Goods & ManufacturingSector in IndiaAccording to the report of the Working Group on Steel, there exist many factors which carry the potential of raising the per capita metal and steel consumption in the country: an estimated infrastructure investment in the capital goods and manufacturing sector of nearly a trillion dollars, a projected growth of manufacturing from current 8% to 11-12%, increase in urban population to 600 million by 2030. In 2015 structural reforms and improving confidence will support a further 6% growth in Indian metal and steel demand but elevated inflation and fiscal consolidation remain key downside risks to the outlook.This given data implies that the manufacturing sector in India is going to grow in future and will be one of the biggest employing sectors of India. Domestic companies are receiving a lot of projects from other countries also, which means Moulder, Machine will have ample career opportunities.
