Synopsis<\/strong>: China + 1 Strategy has emerged as a defining shift in global supply chain management, MNCs are diversifying operations by adding an alternate manufacturing base. India has become the most prominent beneficiary of this strategy, attracting large scale foreign investments, strengthening export capacity and positioning as a critical node in global value chains.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Over the 2 decades, China functioned as the world\u2019s largest manufacturing backbone hub. In 2020 and later, events like COVID-19 pandemic, US China trade tensions, and rising operational risks had exposed the excessive dependence on China. So, the MNCs adopted the China + 1 strategy, a risk mitigation approach that retains China while adding at least one alternative location for production activities. 2025, has evolved China + 1 strategy from a contingency plan into a long term business model where India is playing a leading partner role. <\/p>
