May 2025 Archive – Latest Manufacturing News from Rise Corp India

Looking for a quick catch‑up on what we shared in May? You’re in the right spot. Below is a no‑fluff roundup of the articles that went live last month, grouped by the themes that matter most to manufacturers, traders, and anyone curious about India’s industrial pulse.

Top Export & Trade Insights

First up, we answered the big question: who’s the world’s #1 plastic exporter? The piece breaks down the leading country, the policies that pushed it ahead, and what the numbers mean for buyers sourcing plastic abroad. If you deal with raw material contracts, those facts can save you a lot of guesswork.

On the steel front we ran two eye‑openers. One article checks whether China actually buys steel from the US and explains the tariff dance, shipping routes, and the steel grades that move across the Pacific. The other dives into why Chinese steel often undercuts US prices – from government subsidies to raw material access. Both pieces give you practical angles on pricing strategy and supply‑chain risk.

Manufacturing Ideas & Location Guides

Thinking about starting a low‑cost manufacturing venture? Our "Easiest Manufacturing Businesses to Start" guide lists real‑world ideas, startup costs, and common pitfalls. It’s perfect for anyone wanting to jump in without a huge capital burn.

If you’re scouting a spot for a new factory, the "Best State to Build a Factory" article compares incentives, land costs, and labor pools across India’s top states. It even flags hidden costs so you can pick a location that matches your growth plan.

The textile segment got a lot of love. We highlighted why Surat is still the country’s biggest textile city and how its tech upgrades keep it ahead of the curve. Another post declared Gujarat’s cloth heritage – from bandhani to Patola – as a powerhouse for designers and exporters. And for a broader view, we answered the question of "Textile Capital of India" by drilling down into the city that truly owns the title.

Non‑textile manufacturers also have a place in the roundup. One feature spotlights Asia’s largest earth‑moving equipment maker and why its machines dominate Indian construction sites. Another uncovers the second‑largest chemical industry owner in India, giving you a glimpse beyond the usual Reliance narrative.

We didn’t forget food processing fans. The "Food Processing Levels" article walks you through the four stages of food transformation, showing how each level impacts nutrition, taste, and labeling. It’s useful whether you’re a brand manager or a health‑conscious consumer.

Finally, we cleared up a common misconception: "Is Mercedes owned by Tata?" The quick‑read explains the real ownership structure, where the confusion comes from, and what it means for the Indian automotive market.

All these posts share a single goal – to give you clear, actionable info without the jargon. Bookmark this archive page, skim the headlines that matter to you, and dive deeper into any article that catches your eye. Stay ahead of the curve with Rise Corp India’s monthly insights.
