A centralized factory is going to need to pay for shipping across India which would increase cost. Rather than dealing with such issues himself he can get people to create franchises and supply the first machine and then sell them more after things start to scale. The end result is to create a domestic industry which will then continue to drive costs down and promote adoption though advertising etc. PS: If there is a viable market, I suspect some of those groups will start to grow and you may end up with the type of large company you want him to build.
