New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said holistic steps are being taken for the value chain associated with automobile manufacturing so that the industry becomes more productive and sustainable. In a message to the auto industry body Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) on its 61st Annual Convention, the Prime Minister also stated that India remained firmly committed to move forward with the goal of clean and modern mobility, while lauding the role of the industry in the country’s progress.
He reassured the auto industry that “all the stakeholders have an important role in our government’s steadfast efforts to transform India into a global manufacturing hub”.
Presence of manufacturing units of global automobile manufacturers in India is reflective of a thriving ecosystem, Modi added.
He further said “It is also crucial to protect our environment, resources and raw materials. India is not only emphasizing on exploring new possibilities but also encouraging a circular economy. Recently launched National Automobile Scrappage Policy exemplifies this vision.”
The Prime Minister said as India celebrates the 75 years of Independence, the next 25 years are very important for the country.
“We have to work together for the next generation infrastructure, world class manufacturing and new age technology. India is committed to providing its citizens with global standards in terms of quality and safety,” he asserted.
