• Trade tensions and high tariffs on Chinese and Bangladeshi goods have prompted global retailers like Walmart to shift sourcing to India, which offers moderate tariff rates and policy stability.

• PLI schemes across 14 sectors, the National Manufacturing Mission (2025), PM Gati Shakti, and Startup. India are driving investment, improving logistics, and supporting industrial clusters.
