CII lays road map to enhance Karnataka's competitiveness in global market
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Karnataka, on Thursday unveiled its new road map to enhance the State's competitiveness on the global stage. As part of the road map, which is named 'Accelerating Karnataka's Competitiveness: Globalisation, Inclusivity, Sustainability, Trust', the CII would focus on AI-led transformation, sunrise sectors, and capacity building for MSMEs. Other priorities will include simplifying GST and taxation, easing regulatory compliance to strengthen 'Ease of Doing Business', and improving infrastructure and connectivity for balanced industrial development, the trade body said in a press conference. According to the office-bearers, the CII's 2025–26 agenda placed a strong focus on empowering MSMEs through digitisation, ESG adoption, and cluster-based support. Key priorities include emerging sectors like semiconductors, aerospace, and electric mobility, along with energy transition and alternative fuels and Industry 4.0 skills. To drive impact across sectors, the CII plans to strengthen collaborations with the academia, startups, the government and global partners to catalyse investment, foster deep-tech capabilities, and fast-track industrial transformation. Rabindra Srikantan, chairman of CII, 'As we move towards Viksit Bharat, the State has an opportunity to shape India's industrial future through innovation, technology leadership, and sustainability.'' The trade body's focus was to create a resilient and agile ecosystem that empowered industries to lead in strategic areas like semiconductors, design-led manufacturing, AI-powered production, and clean energy. A key pillar of this journey was the expansion of Global Capability Centres (GCCs), which were rapidly evolving from support hubs to strategic innovation engines across sectors, he added. Guruprasad Mudlapur, vice-chairman of CII, said, 'We are committed to accelerating inclusive and future-ready growth by strengthening competitiveness, ease of doing business, and building trust to enable MSMEs across the State.' He said the CII's new roadmap was aligned to Viksit Bharat, and focused on infrastructure, policy simplification, and technology adoption to drive industrial resilience across the State.
