CAPITAL GOODS SECTOR
( Fitter – Mechanical Assembly | Fitter – Fabrication )

Sector Overview – Capital Goods

About the Sector:
Manufacturing is a key contributor to the economic development of any nation; adding jobs as well as increasing self-reliance. The National Manufacturing Policy envisaged manufacturing to contribute 25% to GDP and create 100 million jobs.

Capital goods consist of plant machinery, equipment and accessories required, either directly or indirectly, for manufacture or production of goods or for rendering services, including those required for replacement, modernization, technological upgradation and expansion of manufacturing facilities.

The main sub-sectors thus identified as sub-sectors of the capital goods sector are:

S. No Sub Sectors Brief Description
1 Machine Tools Constitutes machines related to metal cutting and forming
2 Power & Electrical equipment Constitutes machines related to power generation, transmission and distribution
3 Process Plant Machinery Constitutes machines such as pressure vessels, evaporators, stirrers, heat exchangers etc. are used in energy, metallurgy, oil and gas, industry etc.
4 Textile Machinery Constitutes machines used in various steps of textile fabrication such as spinning weaving, processing, testing etc.
5 Plastic, Paper & Rubber Machinery Constitutes machinery used in various fabrication steps of paper, plastic and rubber manufacturing
6 Light Engineering Goods Constitutes machines related to roller bearing, process control, instruments, castings, steel forgings, and pipes etc used in oil & gas, power, automotive etc. industries

The Capital Goods sector is a critical element to boost manufacturing activity by providing critical inputs, that is, machinery and equipment. The sector also provides direct employment to ~1.4 million people; the sector provides indirect employment to ~7 million people and impact users of capital goods estimated to be 50 times of the direct employment.

The growth and development of capital goods is critical for India to achieve the vision of "Make in India" by increasing share of manufacturing to 25% of Gross Value Added. This in turn will help generate additional jobs, improve India's trade balance and increase domestic self-reliance. Projected Manpower requirement Scope :
