Today the capital goods industry contributes a meagre 12% to the total manufacturing activity in the country. We are greatly looking forward to this partnership at WIN India 2015 to promote the Department of Heavy Industries objectives of boosting the Indian Capital goods sector, and promoting India's focus on Make in India."
