Tata Strategic Management Group has recently unveiled a strategic report titled ‘Redefining Brand India: Value through Innovation and New Product Development - A strategic report for the Pump, Valves & Process Equipment industry' in collaboration with FICCI. The report was released in the ‘PVPE Expo 2016', the largest and unique platform for the Pumps, Valves & Process Equipment companies to showcase their capabilities.
The report highlights that developing an ecosystem that fosters innovation and new product development (NPD) is the only way Indian manufacturers can break free from the image of low cost manufacturers.
