Toh bhai, yeh ₹500 crore ka fund sirf manufacturing badhane ke liye nahi hai. Iska real game plan hai sports equipment ki design, research, aur innovation ko next level par le jaana. Goal hai ki India mein hi top-quality, affordable sports gear bane, jisse hum international market mein dhamaal macha saken.
Aur yeh jo 'Khelo India Mission' aa raha hai na, yeh bhi ek 10-year plan hai jo asli game changer banega. Iska focus hoga talented athletes aur coaches ko develop karne par. Matlab, mast training, sports science ka use, aur competition ke liye zabardast infrastructure taiyar karna. Pure ecosystem ko hi upgrade karne ki planning hai.
Ab growth ki baat karein toh numbers bhi kamaal ke hain! Analysts ka kehna hai ki Indian sports industry ka size 2030 tak ₹3.4 lakh crore tak pahunch sakta hai. Aur sirf sports goods manufacturing market jo abhi around $6.7 billion hai, woh bhi $10 billion tak ja sakta hai. CAGR growth lagbhag 12-14% expected hai FY25 se.
Industry ke log toh kaafi excited hain. Decathlon India ke CEO Sankar Chatterjee ne kaha ki budget ka focus unke goals ke saath bilkul match karta hai. Aur KPMG India ke Prasanth Shanthakumaran ne highlight kiya hai ki sports ab sirf ek passion nahi, balki coaching, sports management, aur sports science jaise fields mein jobs create karne ka bhi bada source banega. Ye sab milkar sports ko ek major economic pillar bana sakte hain.
Toh ultimately, government ka vision hai ki 'Made in India' sports gear poori duniya mein apna naam kare. Isse hum import par depend karna kam karenge aur global supplier banenge. Yeh sab India ki economic growth aur manufacturing ko boost karne ki strategy ka ek important hissa hai.
