(See #9-India, URL below) In 2013, the ability of the government to implement robust economic policies will decline even further, perpetuating India’s “stalling or falling” outlook. As general elections draw closer, political opportunism and obstructionism will increase.

India’s electronic products manufacturing sector could shrink by as much as 6.7% in revenue by 2015 with the increase in consumption being more than offset by imports, according to a report, indicating that government efforts aimed at boosting the domestic industry may not succeed.

Good luck. SF Chronicle business reports today that one year ago Indian government allowed foreign stores selling a single brand to enter a $420B retail market w long-standing restrictions for outsiders. Then in Sept this past year India said multi-bran retailers like Wal-Mart were welcome to open locations w local partners. The number of stores foreign companies have set up independently to date = 0. A fund manager quoted in the article says “There’s too much bureaucracy in India.” – Taina Erajuuri w FIM Asset Management.

India will only be taken seriously when you see it buying banner placements on wsj.com, ft.com, forbes.com promoting regional development and financial incentives aimed at influential tech business leaders.

Infrastructure is an issue. Getting reliable deliveries of raw materials to factories without excessive road tolls and pot holes, also reliable power. More privatization is needed and fewer ‘schemes’. The word itself should be warning something else is in the works.

Some say there is an underlying distrust among the few influential groups and people able to make of India’s prominence a reality in industry. Players are more intent on grabbing their part of the resulting payout. The previous SMTA chapter failed because contributing local chapter leaders were more interested in progressing their privately held business interests than bringing together industry leaders and doers. Also private industry is unwilling to carry too much risk because they understand the corrupt policies of government better than outsiders (who are being courted to do some of the heavy investment lifting with public sector promises of special economic zones and R&D tax breaks) Government also lacks adequate or disciplined oversight to enforce a strategy and execute it to a plan. Many of the organizations like those mention in the question are also competing for members and member dollars/rupees. Special interests needs to be dealt with before true progress can be made.
