"Everything from chip to ship...": PM Modi calls for boost to Atmanirbhar Bharat manufacturing

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 25 (ANI): Calling for a boost to indigenous production across sectors, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that the government is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the stakeholders, adding that India has to focus heavily on becoming a Swadeshi economy in its upcoming journey.

PM Modi inaugurated the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show-2025. Addressing a gathering here, the Prime Minister said that the government has removed several unnecessary compliances so that businesses can keep thriving in the country.

The government is putting a strong emphasis on Make in India manufacturing. We want everything from chip to ship to be manufactured in India; for this, we are focusing on your ease of doing business. The government abolished more than 40,000 compliances, and more than a thousand laws were decriminalised. We are standing with you shoulder-to-shoulder, said PM Modi while addressing the business fraternity and the traders present at the event.

Despite the global disruptions and uncertainties, India growth is attractive. Disruptions dont hinder us, but even in those circumstances, we look for new directions. Amid all these disruptions, India is strengthening the foundations for the coming decades. Our resolve and mantra is Atmanirbhar Bharat. Nothing can be more helpless than being dependent on others. The more a country stays dependent others, the more its growth is going to stay compromised, he added.

He further demanded that there should be no compromise of the products being produced indigenously. Every citizen is adopting Swadeshi, Garv se kaho hum swadeshi hai, our traders will have to proudly adopt this mantra.
