Also, the modern bearings are far more refined as well as technologically advanced as compared to the traditional bearings. There use in the manufacturing of modern powertrains, which are fuel-efficient as well as lead to lesser emissions is rapidly increasing. Hence, growing use of bearing in motors and the demand of automotive electrification is expected to boost the market growth.
Government initiatives to drive the manufacturing industry
Indian government has supportive policies and regulations for ensuring manufacturing of safe products. For instance, the regulatory framework in the country is supported by 3 government institutions - the Bureau of Indian Standards, the Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises, and the Ministry of Labour & Employment. India also has supportive policies, such as the National Capital Goods Policy 2016 and the National Policy on Safety, Health & Environment at Workplace 2009, among others. Such policies and institutions help in setting standards & compliance on health, safety, & environment. Furthermore, they also help to increase domestic production, promote exports, mandatory standardization of machines & equipment by adopting ISO, technology improvement, reduce sub-standard imports through standardization, and skill development. All these factors support the manufacturing sector, hence boosting the market growth.
