ABB Survey Highlights Need for Digitalization in Indian Manufacturing
What happened
ABB conducted a survey of Indian industrial businesses, finding that India could unlock a 1 per cent GDP opportunity by reducing productivity losses from equipment breakdowns and inefficient asset management. The survey found that 88 per cent of Indian industrial businesses experience an unplanned outage at least once a month, costing a typical business nearly Rs 70 lakh per hour. Industry leaders are calling for greater adoption of AI-based predictive maintenance and digital technologies.

Why it matters
The findings underscore a significant need for investment in reliability and digitalization within India's manufacturing sector. Reports indicate that AI could unlock an additional USD 85-100 billion in value for the sector by 2035. This shift away from reactive maintenance is supported by the NITI Aayog report on AI for Viksit Bharat.
