TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said Make in India is the need of the hour and appealed to the industry to reduce dependence on imports and boost domestic manufacturing.
He urged the industry to take challenges and make efforts to cut imports of goods that can be manufactured in India.
“Today, the world is looking at India as a manufacturing powerhouse,” Modi said while addressing DPIIT’s webinar on ‘Make in India for the World’.
The Prime Minister added that the industry will have to maintain global standards and compete globally and it is not acceptable that a country like India ends up merely as a market.
He said that the Budget has many significant provisions for Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India. He pointed towards supply chain disruptions during the pandemic and other uncertainties to underline the critical importance of Make in India.
