The Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI), under the Scheme for “Enhancement of Competitiveness in the Indian Capital Goods Sector,” has established four Smart Advanced Manufacturing and Rapid Transformation Hub (SAMARTH) Centres. These centres play a crucial role in enhancing the competitiveness of the Indian Capital Goods Sector by fostering innovation, promoting the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, and supporting the growth of start-ups and MSMEs. The SAMARTH Centres are located at:
| S. No. | SAMARTH Centre | State |

| 2. | Centre for Industry 4.0 (C4i4) Lab, Pune | Maharashtra |

Further, the Centre for Industry 4.0 (C4i4) Lab Pune, Maharashtra, has approved establishing ten cluster industry 4.0 experience centers across India.
The Impact of SAMARTH Centres
The SAMARTH Centres are playing a crucial role in upskilling the workforce in Industry 4.0 technologies. They achieve this by organizing Awareness Seminars/Workshops and knowledge-sharing events on Industry 4.0, training industries to create awareness about Industry 4.0, and providing consultancy (in areas such as IOT Hardware, Software development, data analytics) and incubation support to start-ups, including MSMEs. This emphasis on upskilling is a reassuring sign for the future of the industry.
