DMII 3.0

This whitepaper, developed in partnership with BCG, provides a sector-by-sector analysis of India's path to manufacturing independence. Each chapter documents current production capacity, import dependencies, policy frameworks, and the specific technical and financial barriers that must be addressed. The focus is on mid-stack depth: the components, subsystems, and materials layers where value capture and supply chain resilience actually occur.
