Eighteen arenas of growth could yield $1.7 trillion to $2 trillion in revenuesfor India by 2030 | India | McKinsey | Report

McKinsey: A playbook for India to capture value in the arenas India must build on its strong fundamentals, young population, and ongoing structural reforms to sustain GDP growth of 8.0 to 8.5 percent over the next two decades. Indian companies could shape a dynamic market and unlock the full potential of the 18 arenas through adopting a differentiated playbook for each archetype of opportunity.

Some potential ideas of what that playbook could look like appear below:

— Build for India by providing domestic players with patient capital, export-linked incentives, and longterm demand visibility. Modular and open ecosystems can facilitate collaboration among design and manufacturing players in component-heavy sectors such as electronics and power. Applied R&D to address India-specific challenges, through industry-academia consortia, could be incentivized by linking outcomes to commercialization and intellectual-property.

— Pursue accelerated scale-up by investing in infrastructure across logistics, power, and digital connectivityto unlock demand and improve unit economics in sectors like e-commerce, renewables, and tourism.Bundled, arena-specific fast-track mechanisms—such as license clearances, land, and infrastructureaccess—could accelerate scale. These strategies could be even more effective through the mobilization ofinstitutional and retail capital through real-estate investment trusts, infrastructure investment trusts, andIPO pipelines for high-growth infrastructure and technology projects.
