We must think beyond specific technologies or companies and focus on India’s global standing in 2047, aiming to increase our share in global automotive trade through innovation and quality.”

The meeting was attended by representatives from various ministries, including the Ministry of Power, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, DPIIT, Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change and industry bodies such as SIAM, ACMA, and CII, FICCI, academic institutions, research think tanks and testing agencies, initiating an industry-led effort to shape AMP 2047.
