The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has emphasized India's growing significance in global manufacturing supply chains, despite the country's lower levels of government support compared to China. The report highlights that Chinese firms receive three to eight times more subsidies than their Indian counterparts, which impacts their competitive edge. However, India is making strides in various sectors, particularly in aerospace and defense, where it is emerging as an important player alongside other Asian nations. The OECD also points out India's increasing role in industrial materials manufacturing, where it is gaining ground against traditional leaders like Europe and the United States. Additionally, India is recognized as a significant producer in the heavy machinery sector and shares the steel market with China and OECD countries, although China remains the global leader. Overall, while China benefits from substantial state support, India's position in global supply chains is steadily improving across multiple industries.
