From 14% to 25% of GDP:
Join India’s National Mission for Smart Manufacturing

from 14% to 25% of GDP
The goal is now revised to 25% by 2030
But while smart factories rise, engineers lack readiness in AI, IoT, and automation to run or scale them.
By 2026, India will face a shortage of over 250,000 AI-skilled professionals, with gaps in predictive analytics, industrial IoT, and factory cybersecurity (NASSCOM).
Globally, only 19% of manufacturers have fully integrated AI,hiring struggles, not tech, are the key barrier (McKinsey).
That’s why India’s First MTech in AI-Powered SM & Intelligent Systems is launching—at IIT Mandi
