India and the Regionalization of Supply Chains

In an interconnected and uncertain world, the role of regionalization in supply chain management is gaining prominence. A survey reveals that 30% of supply chiefs have shifted from a global to a regional model due to disruptions like natural disasters, geopolitical unrest, trade battles, and cyberattacks.

India's advancements in supply chain management, driven by initiatives like Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliance) and Make in India, highlight the benefits of regional manufacturing. These efforts, such as the Supply Chain Resilience Initiative and electronics manufacturing schemes, position India favorably for economic growth.

To enhance supply chain resilience, businesses can expand their supplier network, maintain strong ties with regional vendors, invest in technology for efficiency, and create robust backup plans. Regional supply chains have also been shown to reduce carbon footprints by up to 35%, promoting sustainability.

• fostering innovation
• attracting investment
