More than 75 executive directors of manufacturing companies in India participated in the survey. The report was released on the eve of the 12th Manufacturing Summit organised here by the ! CII.

“It is necessary for manufacturing companies to step back and filter out the structural trends effecting manufacturing from the noise of day-to-day fire-fighting,” Jamshyd N. Godrej, chairman and managing director, Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing, said in the report.
