India@79: Reimagining Economic Nationalism For A Future-Ready Bharat
The India of tomorrow is one that doesn't depend on global goodwill — it commands global respect As we mark India's 79th year of Independence, the nation stands at a critical inflection point—one where economic nationalism is no longer just a political sentiment, but a powerful strategy to reclaim our place as a global manufacturing, innovation, and supply chain powerhouse. India's journey from being a consumer economy to becoming a creator, builder, and exporter of world-class products is well underway—and at the heart of this transformation are bold policies, digital technologies, and homegrown, innovation-led companies driving structural change. In a world recalibrating supply chains and resetting economic priorities, India's assertive push toward economic self-reliance—backed by initiatives like Make in India, Aatmanirbhar Bharat, PM GatiShakti, and PLI Schemes—signals a new era. This is not protectionism, but purposeful, pragmatic, and progressive economic nationalism—one that strengthens India's domestic capabilities while deeply engaging with global trade and investment ecosystems. From PM GatiShakti's National Master Plan for multi-modal logistics to the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme and National Logistics Policy, India is rewriting the way economies are built—from the ground up. These aren't just infrastructure upgrades—they are economic enablers. Seamless logistics, greenfield smart industrial cities, plug-and-play facilities, and technology-driven platforms like the Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP) are reducing project delays, improving supply chain resilience, and enhancing India's global competitiveness. In this transformation, Parashar Future Technologies and similar tech-led Indian companies are playing a catalytic role. Leveraging AI, automation, and data analytics, we're creating solutions that reduce costs, improve precision, and empower MSMEs to participate in global value chains with confidence and scale. Production-Linked Incentives Perhaps no initiative illustrates India's economic reorientation better than the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes. Spread across 14 strategic sectors—from electronics and automobiles to pharmaceuticals and white goods—PLI is more than a fiscal tool; it's a confidence statement to the world. With over Rs 1.76 lakh crore in realised investments and more than Rs 16.5 lakh crore in production output, PLI schemes have generated over 12 lakh jobs, revitalised industrial clusters, and drastically reduced import dependence across critical sectors. Consider this: India's mobile phone exports have surged nearly 775 per cent in the last four years, making the country a key global manufacturing hub. Similarly, under the PLI for medical devices, high-end products such as MRI machines, CT scanners, and heart valves are now being made in India. This not only reduces costs and saves foreign exchange but also positions India as a resilient alternative to traditional global suppliers. Smart Nationalism Today, true nationalism lies in building capabilities that serve our people and place India on the global map as a trusted partner. By mandating Quality Control Orders (QCOs), regulating Minimum Import Prices, and decriminalising archaic business regulations through Jan Vishwas, the government is sending a strong message: India is open for business—but on fair, future-ready, and high-quality terms. The growing use of data-driven decision-making, simplified digital platforms like the National Single Window System, and investments in warehousing standards and infrastructure are strengthening the business environment. These moves aren't about isolating India—they're about protecting its interests, unlocking its potential, and amplifying its voice globally. Innovation-Driven Enterprises As a founder deeply embedded in the tech-manufacturing landscape, I see an incredible shift. Indian companies are no longer merely service providers—they're solution architects, product innovators, and global collaborators. We're seeing a surge of science-backed startups, med-tech ventures, and AI-driven manufacturing solutions—all working in sync with national priorities. Tech-enabled and innovation-led enterprises like Parashar Future Technologies are aligning with government initiatives to build IP, create jobs, strengthen MSMEs, and boost exports. The focus is not just on 'Make in India" but 'Design, Engineer, and Innovate in India"—creating a virtuous cycle of growth that benefits every layer of our economy. Nationalist Economy, Global Respect India's economic strategy today is a blend of aspiration, alignment, and agility. Our recent signing of the Supply Chain Resilience Agreement under IPEF, negotiation of strategic FTAs, and expansion of logistics and industrial infrastructure are positioning us as a formidable pillar of the global economy. Importantly, this strategic nationalism is inclusive and forward-looking—with deliberate efforts to enhance ease of doing business, strengthen women's entrepreneurship, and build a skilled, future-ready workforce. The cumulative impact? A nation that is both self-reliant and globally relevant. Political Freedom to Economic Sovereignty As we celebrate India@79, our freedom must now be measured not only by political independence, but by economic sovereignty, innovation-led growth, and the strength of our domestic capabilities. Economic nationalism today is about ensuring that the products we build, the technologies we export, and the opportunities we create serve every Indian—while making the world take note. The India of tomorrow is one that doesn't depend on global goodwill—it commands global respect. By combining visionary policymaking, resilient infrastructure, quality regulation, and the ingenuity of our tech ecosystem, we are building a Viksit Bharat that is homegrown, high-quality, and globally competitive. The message is clear: India is not just rising—it is redesigning the rules. And we, as proud partners in this journey, must innovate, invest, and lead from the front.

HSL delivers ICGS Sarang after complex life extension refit
Visakhapatnam: Hindustan Shipyard Limited successfully delivered the 27-year-old vintage vessel ICGS Sarang on August 14 (Thursday) after completing a complex life extension refit three days ahead of schedule. The vessel was docked at HSL on April 19. During execution, an unexpectedly large volume of additional work, about 35 percent more than the original scope, emerged, along with the need to source numerous additional spares. Ensuring strict adherence to timelines, the tasks were undertaken on a war footing in close coordination with the Indian Coast Guard and with the business partners Asha Engineering Works. Key works included replacing stern tube and 'A' bracket bearings, renewing shaft tunnel hull boss plates without propeller shaft removal, and installing nine new pumps with successful trials. Routines covered machinery, AC and refrigeration, fire-fighting, and fuel systems along with renewing 12 tonnes of steel, overhauling 140 motors, 300 valves, 46 pumps and replacing 3-km of pipelines. Delivering ahead of schedule showcases HSL's prowess in complex refits, powered by skilled manpower, efficient project management and seamless coordination with ICG and business partners.
