Modi also said the automobile sector has contributed to the all-round development and growth of the economy through new avenues for employment generation.
“Our government has adopted an enabling approach towards creating a global manufacturing hub by encouraging manufacturers to “Make in India’,” he added.
Be it Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes that boost manufacturing, or the encouragement for Electric Vehicles and hybrid vehicles, or ethanol-blended petrol, the government has taken many initiatives to further empower the automobile industry, Modi added.
The Prime Minister also pointed out that mobility holds the key to the progress of humanity and it is driving every sphere of life in a way that was never imagined before.
