The period covered in the chapter is the post 2000 period which is characterized by the enunciation of a large number of policies that impact on the S&T performance of the country. These policies range from a new IPR policy to financing of R&D to a number of specific technology policies dealing with a variety major emerging technologies. Further, it maps out the inputs to S&T policy in terms of human resources development in science and engineering, financing of essentially R&D in industry and the policy support for the emergence of technology-based start-ups, etc. Finally, the chapter surveys the progress of the country with respect to adoption of new technologies such as Industry 4.0 basket of technologies, automation and its potential effects on manufacturing employment, the growth of domestic manufacturing in certain high technology industries such as cell phones, electric vehicles and the diffusion of a cashless economy in India.

The efforts of the US and the OECD governments are examined to show how they are articulating proactive public innovation policies.

It demonstrates that TML is a market leader in India’s fast-growing automotive industry. TML fulfils the three market-leadership conditions – market share, global reach and innovation – exceptionally well. The sources of this leadership are described through a series of firm, sector and country level factors. However, maintaining leadership on a continuous basis for a reasonably long time must not be taken for granted. Leadership positions may be easily challenged in a globalized market and potential new leaders may emerge to challenge what is currently presumed to be an unassailable leadership position. For this reason, a leader must continue to be vigilant from the innovation point of view. In this respect, for TML, continued innovation is the accepted corporate strategy.

Currently she is attempting to raise the share of her manufacturing sector to at least a quarter of her GDP by 2022 through variety of proactive industrial policies. This has led to a debate of sorts on the role of industrial policies when the economy is moving towards a free market economy where the discretionary role of government is reduced to a minimum. India's small manufacturing sector, although now sixth largest in the world, is slowly moving towards high and medium technology industries, both in terms of manufacturing value added and in terms of share of manufactured exports. India is now slowly becoming an important player in selected high and medium high technology sectors such as aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and automobiles while her attempts at developing a telecommunications equipment manufacturing industry has failed. The paper identifies the vertical policies that have been crucial for the development or lack of it of each of these four high tech industries. While these vertical policies are shown to be one of the necessary conditions for the growth of these high technology sectors, the sufficient conditions depend on the existence of firm strategies that can take advantage of these proactive vertical policies. The paper thus underscores the importance of specific vertical policies be it is the case of the offset policy in the case of the aerospace industry, the patent policy in the case of the pharmaceutical industry and so on.

For this the government has announced a series of policies both at the aggregate level and across specific sectors. The chapter undertakes a survey of various policies and focuses its attention on two specific policy instruments, enunciated first to subsidize R&D and second to improve the articulation of intellectual property rights so that firms are able to improve their R&D efforts. Analysis of the policy outcomes shows us that investment in R&D has been concentrated in a few industrial sectors, and there is ambiguous evidence regarding the improvement of R&D performance.
