Overview
- The Frontier Tech Hub report projects over 100 million new manufacturing jobs and aims to place India among the top three advanced-manufacturing hubs by 2035.
- It cautions that delayed adoption could forfeit an estimated $270 billion in additional manufacturing GDP by 2035 and $1 trillion by 2047.
- It prioritizes AI/ML, advanced materials, digital twins and robotics across 13 sectors, and calls for clearer IP, faster approvals, reliable green energy, sustained funding, and shared R&D and testing infrastructure.
- A three-phase schedule runs FY2026–FY2035, starting with a Global Frontier Technology Institute and large-scale, cluster-based skilling, then servicification, followed by targeted interventions as technologies mature.
- The roadmap was released in Pune with Maharashtra leaders and NITI officials, and the state announced a manufacturing mission and plans to host the Global Frontier Technology Institute.
