“…However, increased participation of firms in GVC is a possible channel for stimulating productivity growth of the stagnant Indian manufacturing sector. Since the 1980s, the contribution of the manufacturing sector has hovered around 15% of India’s gross domestic product (GDP) (Bhattacharjee & Chakrabarti, 2013 ), much lower than the newly industrialised Asian economies (Mohanty & Saha, 2019 ). Indeed, in 2010–11, India’s manufacturing contribution to GDP was 15.8%, compared to 30.0% in China, 36.0% in Thailand, 26.0% in Malaysia, and 22.0% in Singapore (PwC, 2012 ).…”

We analyze the role of digital infrastructure in shaping the global value chain (GVC) participation of Indian manufacturing firms. To examine the digitalization and GVC nexus, a rich, firm-level, unbalanced panel of 4875 manufacturing firms from the past two decades is used to detail the rising significance of digital infrastructure in the Indian context and then to examine empirically the relationship between digitalization and GVCs. Employing a logit model, we observe a positive and significant association of digitalization on firms’ GVC participation. Further, subsample results highlight that digitalization promotes the integration of small firms and firms from low-technology industries into the GVC. Moreover, the findings of our analysis are robust to alternate measures of GVCs.
