Partnering with New India

The Indian Government has set a target of India being a ten trillion dollar economy by 2030 and banking and financial institutions concur on India becoming the third largest economy come 2030. This strategy relies on some of the country’s strategic assets such as its demography and its democratic system, steady progress in critical areas such as infrastructure (including energy and transportation), and administration and governance. It also depends critically on developing strong partnerships with other countries in regions across the globe. ✓ How can the right complementarities and convergence of interests to build strong economic

partnerships and maximize the opportunities in terms of trade, investment, people-to-people exchanges be identified?

✓ What could India and its partners each bring to the table for successful collaborations in key areas such as IT, infrastructure, health, education and technology innovation?

Reforms and De-regulation: Strategies to Boost Investments

India has jumped from the 100th position to 77 from 2017 to 2018 in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business ranking. It is the only country to rank among the top 10 improvers for the second consecutive year- gaining 53 places in two years. This impressive rise reflects how a number of initiatives from the Indian Government and the streamlining of processes is now having an impact on the ground when it comes to starting a business, paying taxes, trade facilitation and obtaining construction permits, among other areas. An extremely auspicious environment for investment is developing not only at the central level but with the active participation of state governments. To continue its climb, India needs to ensure that the pace of reforms being introduced is sustained. ✓ What key additional reforms are needed to put India in the top 50 group of the World Bank’s ranking

and thus even more attractive as an investment destination? ✓ Are there ways for India to integrate into high value manufacturing chains in higher-technology,

higher-value goods? How should India leverage the potential for the App economy in which it has strong assets?

✓ What incentives and policies will help narrow the huge gap among Indian states in terms of their attractiveness to investors?

The Infra Expanse - A Super Imperative for Growth

India needs to invest Rs 50 trillion (US$ 777.73 billion) in infrastructure by 2022 to ensure the sustainable development of its economy, while US$ 92.2 billion have been earmarked in the Budget for 2018-19. The infrastructure developments of the last few years have already had a marked impact on service delivery, contributing to sustain inclusive economic growth in the country. There has also been a major thrust on rural infrastructure development, including rural roads, houses, sanitation, irrigation and water supply. It is, however, clear that government funding and the involvement of international financial institutions will not be able to cover infrastructure financing needs. The challenge remains to find the right incentives and conditions to involve the private sector- domestic and foreign - in a more significant way. ✓ How should India strengthen the policy support for the public-private partnership (PPP) model in

order to revive the interest of investors and contractors? ✓ While the highways and the renewables sectors have been able to generate new PPPs, how could

the government’s emphasis on public housing and Smart Cities generate a new wave of involvement from the private sector?

✓ What success stories could be leveraged in the ports and airports infrastructure sector to create new partnerships between public and private sectors – domestic or foreign?

The Inclusion Dynamics – A Digital Wireframe for All

The Digital India initiative, with its three core components – digital infrastructure, digital delivery of services and increase of digital literacy – is at the heart of the Government’s development and reform agenda. Digital connectivity, demand for digital communications and FinTech are critical success factors for other key initiatives including Smart Cities. Key policy reforms including the use of electronic subscriber activation, paperless certification for mobile base station equipment, centralisation of rights of way policy, and formalisation of spectrum trading and sharing norms have all been steps in a positive direction. More thrust is however required for e-Governance and inclusive digital growth. Moreover, electronic manufacturing needs to be strengthened. ✓ What needs to come next for leveraging the India Stack as a social game changer and a growth

driver? ✓ How can 5G emerge as a national reality soon and contribute to smart manufacturing, IoT, digital

healthcare, enhanced connectivity and economic efficiency? ✓ As India has moved from 118 in 2014 to 96 rank in 2018 in the UN E-Governance survey of 193

countries, what next steps should the central and state governments take to move ahead in concert for continuing to deploy E-governance for the greater good?

✓ With India’s internet population having crossed the 500 million threshold in 2018 and increasing fast, what steps and new measures are required to ensure that ICT infrastructure will keep pace with an expanding and more demanding user base?

Fostering an Innovation-driven Growth

The government has stepped up efforts and initiatives to promote a more buoyant innovation in India. The Atal Innovation Mission launched in 2016 is dedicated to scale up the startup incubation system and create an innovation culture in schools. India’s “innovation diplomacy” aims at expanding investment and international cooperation in the area of innovation, with initiatives such as the India-Israel Industrial R&D and Technological Innovation Fund. India has moved up steadily from 81st in the Global Innovation Index in 2015 to the 57th positioning in 2018. However, the ratio of R&D spending to GDP has remained stagnant over the last twenty years at 0.6% and the private sector is dramatically lagging behind the public sector in R&D spending. ✓ Beyond the strategies developed by the Government, what additional measures or initiatives could

be envisaged to broaden and accelerate a technology innovation momentum? ✓ How should India develop the necessary incentives for private sector companies to devote more

resources to R&D? ✓ How can the potential of frugal innovation be leveraged in a more productive manner? ✓ As more and more MNCs establish R&D centers in India, how can the country benefit from the

innovation resources that this trend is creating?

✓ What kind of synergies should be developed between established companies and startups to generate new technology innovation dynamics?

Shaping the Future of Manufacturing: The Time is Now

The share of manufacturing in India’s GDP has remained more or less flat over the last 25 years at about 16%. Government and corporate policies for moving as fast as possible towards smart manufacturing - Industry 4.0 – would improve companies’ profitability and competitiveness and provide the country’s industrial base and its overall economy with a significant leap-frogging boost. There are however a number of requirements to be met before making Industry 4.0 a big component of the country’s industrial fabric. ✓ How should the country approach the transformation towards Industry 4.0 with the right balance

between enhancing existing production assets and creating new ones? ✓ What initial lessons can be learnt from the first Indian companies having introduced COBOTS

(industrial robots functioning alongside workers)? ✓ How can collaboration between established companies and high-tech startups help expand IOT

and Big Data capabilities as key enablers of Industry 4.0 ?

✓ How can we expand and accelerate the creation of much-needed high- skilled labour and also deal with the fear of job losses?

Giving the Food and Agro sector the much needed Impetus

India’s food processing industry covers 32% of the country’s food market, and is one of the country’s largest industries. While India is the world’s largest producer of many commodities, only a small percentage of production is processed nationally, due to disconnects between different steps of the value chain and infrastructure weaknesses. However, getting the food processing sector to a higher level of efficiency and profitability needs to go in parallel with the acceleration of reforms in the agriculture sector to regroup a large number of small and resource-less farms into sustainable entities, increase acreage yield by the use of modern technologies, address the crucial issue of water scarcity, and review many complex domestic regulations. ✓ How can India expand and improve supply and distribution channels to support the development

of the food processing sector? ✓ What rural education policies are required to spread understanding and use of new agriculture

methods and technology to improve efficiency? ✓ What set of additional policies – including credit allocation initiatives - will boost the penetration of

agro-tech in the rural sector? ✓ What areas of further diversification of production should be prioritized in view of their potential on

the domestic as well as on the international markets? ✓ How should India leverage international cooperation to bring efficient water management systems? ✓ What are the next steps to further expand the reach of ICT to create proper marketing channels,

allowing farmers to sell their produce more profitably?

Healthcare Development as a key component of a Growth Strategy

Healthcare has now become one of the most important economic and business sectors in India, with services and public as well as private expenditures increasing very steadily. Among the country’s assets are a very large pool of well-trained doctors and the international cost competitiveness of the sector. The healthcare sector, growing at a double-digit pace is expected to increase to more than US$ 130 billion by 2022, driven by some government initiatives such as the introduction in September of a scheme of health insurance to more than over 100 million families every year and a planned doubling of healthcare spending to 3% of GDP by 2022. ✓ What are the additional measures required to improve primary healthcare? ✓ What “to do list” will establish India as a preferred platform for medical tourism? ✓ How can India leverage the role that digital healthcare startups can play? ✓ What needs to be done to support the development of the medical devices sector, including the

contribution of foreign investors? ✓ How can India strategize for moving its pharma sector from a global leader in generic low-cost

drugs to a creator of new molecules?

Tourism and Hospitality as a new Growth Driver

The total contribution to the travel and hospitality sector is expected to be close to 11% of GDP in 2018 and the sector employs around 43 million people. 100% FDI in the tourism and hospitality sector under automatic route has been allowed and a number of states are also now setting up their own tourism promotion policies. However, with the number of foreign tourists at between 9 and 10 million, India lags in leveraging the huge potential that its rich cultural and historical heritage and the diversity of its landscapes offers. ✓ What are the critical factors for shaping India’s tourism industry future? ✓ What sustained policies are needed to make India a tourism destination of choice? ✓ What measures could help address the shortage of skilled manpower in the tourism/hospitality

sector?

✓ What can be done to increase India’s international connectivity as a facilitator for tourism development?

Defence & Aeronautics: Fulfilling the Country’s Industrial Ambitions and its Security Imperatives

About 60% of India’s defence needs are now covered through imports. The Government aims to reduce this dependency and develop the domestic defence and aeronautics sector. 100% FDI has now been allowed in the defence sector, with 49% under the automatic route channel, to incentivize private sector companies and global military equipment manufacturers to set up production bases for defence and aeronautics in the country. ✓ What success stories can be built upon in partnership between Indian companies and foreign defence

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)? ✓ How should India boost the technological level of public and private defence manufacturers to make

them global players and partners of choice at the international level? ✓ What should be the complementary actions to the Draft Defence Production Policy (DDPP) 2018? ✓ Are there ways to speed-up the training and skills creation process to provide the sector with the

talent required?

Betting on a Leadership role in Renewables

Renewable energy represents today close to 14% of the total energy generated in India, with wind energy being the largest component. The government targets 175GW of clean energy generation by 2022 – with 100GW coming from solar power - against renewables accounting for about 72GW installed capacity by the end of 2018. The country is now the world’s largest renewables auction market. However, India still depends on coal power for three-fourths of its energy requirements. A number of challenges need to be addressed to fulfill the goals. ✓ What needs to be done to ensure the profitability of the solar energy sector? ✓ What steps to address obstacles and slowing factors such as uncertainties? ✓ How should India capitalize on new renewable generation technologies in terms of cost reduction,

storage, and flexibility of power generation? ✓ With only 5% of the global solar installed capacity, what steps can help create a solid, internationally

competitive, solar panel manufacturing base in India?

✓ What needs to be done to develop further the offshore wind power sector?
