Manufacturing Industry
Producing, Transforming, and Strengthening France–India Value Chains
Manufacturing lies at the heart of strategies for economic sovereignty, reindustrialisation, and global competitiveness. Between 2025 and 2030, France and India are pursuing complementary trajectories: moving up the industrial value chain, modernising production capacities, automation, digital integration, and the strategic reshoring of certain value chains.
India is gradually emerging as a global manufacturing hub, while France is strengthening its position in high value-added industry, advanced technologies, and sustainable production. This complementarity opens up major opportunities for bilateral industrial cooperation.
