And recent focus on manufacturing. New govt is heavily pushing local manufacturing(atmanirbhar bharat) for last 8 years. Progress is already being felt in some areas, for example in smartphone manufacturing India went from nothing to #2 in world in those years. They are now targeting more phone phone supply chains like pcb, modems etc. and other consumer electronics too.

To be fair, despite all these efforts, the manufacturing sector has consistently underperformed the rest of the economy. The share of manufacturing as a % of GDP has been trending down for quite a while. Outside of the headline grabbing numbers (such as the iPhone factory), the reality is different.
