Can India Become The World’s Manufacturing Hub? DP World CEO On The Opportunity Ahead

Can India capitalise on the global shift in supply chains and emerge as a major manufacturing and trade hub? In a conversation with Siddharth Zarabi, Group Editor, Business Today, Yuvraj Narayan, Group CEO of DP World, discusses India's opportunity to capture a larger share of global trade as companies diversify their manufacturing beyond China. He explains how changing supply chains could reshape trade flows across Asia and why India must act quickly to secure its place. Narayan also weighs in on the China Plus One strategy, Vietnam's growing role in global manufacturing, India's multimodal logistics infrastructure and the need to attract greater global investment. With diversification from China becoming a reality, he poses a critical question: why is the capital that helped build China's manufacturing dominance not flowing into India at the same scale?
