What share of GDP does the National Manufacturing Mission aim for manufacturing to reach, and by when?
- A.20 per cent by 2030
- B.25 per cent by 2035
- C.30 per cent by 2047
- D.17 per cent by 2032
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 25 per cent by 2035. India’s manufacturing sector at present contributes roughly 16 to 17 per cent of GDP and employs more than 27 million workers, and the National Manufacturing Mission sets the goal of lifting that contribution to a quarter of the economy by 2035. Options A and C offer rounder, more ambitious-sounding targets and later or earlier deadlines, but neither pair matches the mission. Option D takes the current share of GDP and dresses it up as a target, which is a common trap in data-based questions. The composition of the sector is also shifting: medium- and high-technology industries already account for 46.3 per cent of manufacturing value addition, which is why schemes such as BHAVYA stress ready infrastructure, predictable approvals and reliable logistics for investors.
