KUALA LUMPUR: India, long known as a software haven and a market where some Malaysian companies had succeeded in infrastructure projects, is now making a new pitch: to become a manufacturing hub.
“We see the manufacturing sector as the key for growth in India,” Amitabh Kant, chief executive officer of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), told a packed conference room at the Malaysia-India Business Council (MIBC) Invest India Conference and Roundtable 2013, entitled India: The Road Ahead, at the KL Convention Centre yesterday.
