India's Industrial Policy: Can 'Chaebolisation' with Big Three Compete Globally?
Key Ideas
  • India is providing significant support to industrial groups like Tata, Ambani, and Adani in strategic and green sectors to compete globally.
  • The government's industrial policy includes subsidies and tariff protections to aid these companies in high-tech areas like electric vehicles, solar energy, and green hydrogen.
  • Optimists believe that this 'chaebolisation' strategy can lead India to catch up with global giants, following the success stories of Korea and China in economic development.
  • The focus on high-tech industries such as chip fabrication and battery storage systems aims to enhance India's competitiveness in the global market.
India's current industrial policy is centered around supporting key industrial groups like Tata, Ambani, and Adani to enhance their competitiveness on a global scale. The government is offering subsidies and tariff protection to these companies in strategic and green sectors such as electric vehicles, solar energy, and green hydrogen. This approach, often referred to as 'chaebolisation', draws parallels to the strategies adopted by countries like Korea and China in the past to boost economic growth. By emulating the success of 'chaebols' like Hyundai and Samsung, India aims to accelerate its progress in high-tech fields like chip fabrication and battery storage systems. While some critics warn about the risks of endless subsidies and protection leading to uncompetitive investments, optimists believe that India can replicate the economic success stories of Korea and China. The ultimate goal is for India to establish a stronger foothold in the global market, particularly in industries crucial for the future like green energy and technology.
