Which manufacturing jobs are booming in India amidst industry growth?
Indeed reports more job openings in the sector, highlighting the need for additional skills.
India's manufacturing industry has seen a 40% growth between June 2022 and June 2024, driven by rising domestic consumption, government support, increased foreign investments, and growing global demand for Indian-made products.
This surge in manufacturing activity in June led to the country's fastest hiring rate in 19 years, according to HSBC India's global economist Maitreyi Das.
Indeed's data shows substantial growth in roles such as CNC operators, production supervisors, and machine operators, reflecting the sector's modernisation and the demand for specialised skills.
Strong communication skills are now a top requirement in 17% of jobs, followed by CNC skills at 10%, manufacturing skills at 9%, English proficiency at 8%, and CNC programming at 6%.
