The manufacturing sector in India is emerging as a powerhouse sector since the dawn of Industry 4.0. Government initiatives like "Make in India", "Smart Cities Mission" and "Digital India" are playing catalyst in the development of this sector, leading India and its manufacturers through a revolutionary change in the way they function. India's manufacturing sector has the potential to touch USD 1 trillion (INR 65,000 crore) by 2025*. To sustain this kind of progress India needs combined efforts from all the industries, the government and use of best in class set-ups by manufacturers. Driven by this objective, the organisers have launched a dedicated pavilion on Smart Manufacturing - Future Factory at the Smart Industry Solutions India (SIS India) to be scheduled from 13 - 15 December 2017 at Bombay Convention and Exhibition Centre, Mumbai.
