India’s role in the global economy is undergoing a structural shift. No longer viewed simply as a high-growth consumer market, India is increasingly positioned as a multi-sector operating platform – supporting manufacturing, engineering, digital services, and export-led scale. As global firms rebalance supply chains and prioritize resilience alongside efficiency, India is emerging as a key node in diversified production and investment strategies.

This edition, India’s Next Growth Cycle: Sector Intelligence for Scalable Market Entry, examines how that transformation is taking shape across high-conviction sectors – from electronics and advanced manufacturing to energy transition, electric mobility, and digital infrastructure. It also explores how policy continuity, industrial incentives, infrastructure investment, and India’s expanding network of trade agreements are reshaping commercial decision-making.

Dezan Shira & Associates supports investors with market intelligence, entity structuring, and operational strategy.

Chapter 1 sets the strategic context, outlining India’s repositioning within global value chains and why sector-led entry models now outperform generalized “India narratives.” Chapter 2 provides a data-driven view of where global capital is concentrating, highlighting electronics, renewables, advanced manufacturing, EVs, and digital infrastructure as long-cycle growth corridors. Lastly, Chapter 3 focuses on execution, covering entry models, localization strategies, compliance planning, and how free trade agreements can be leveraged to improve export economics and investment outcomes.

We hope this publication serves as a practical guide for investors and business leaders navigating India’s differentiated operating landscape – helping translate business opportunity into execution advantage.
