Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated the success of India’s “Make In India” initiative, highlighting its pivotal role in boosting the country’s economy on the global stage. In a social media post on platform “X,” PM Modi shared a MyGovIndia update that underscored how indigenous crafts are making significant global impacts.
According to MyGovIndia, citing various news sources, the “Made in India” campaign has been instrumental in showcasing the remarkable achievements of Indian products worldwide. From bicycles to digital payment systems, Indian goods have gained immense traction globally, demonstrating their quality and competitiveness. The initiative has not only transformed international markets but also captured widespread global attention.
The MyGovIndia post further detailed specific success stories, such as the rising demand for “Made-In-India” bicycles and the adoption of “Made in Bihar” boots by the Russian Army, highlighting the unexpected global reach of Indian products. It also applauded the popularity of Kashmir willow bats and the international expansion of Amul, which has introduced its unique Indian dairy products into the US market.
Emphasizing the impact of India’s Unified Payment System (UPI), the update noted its evolution into a global phenomenon, facilitating seamless digital transactions across multiple countries. Launched on September 25, 2014, the “Make in India” initiative aims to attract investments, foster innovation, and develop world-class infrastructure, positioning India as a manufacturing and design hub.
The Ministry of Commerce & Industry reiterated the government’s commitment to enhancing the manufacturing sector, citing the initiative’s significant milestones and its current focus on 27 sectors under “Make in India 2.0.” Various policy measures, including the Atmanirbhar Bharat packages, Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, and National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), are aimed at bolstering economic growth and attracting investments. Institutional mechanisms like Project Development Cells (PDCs) have been established to expedite investment processes across ministries and departments, ensuring robust economic development.
