President of India, Droupadi Murmu, attended the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of the Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) India in New Delhi on September 8, 2025. She highlighted India’s historic role in trade and knowledge and urged EEPC to lead efforts in strengthening the nation’s position in the global economy.

The President noted that India’s engineering exports have grown from USD 70 billion to over USD 115 billion in the last decade, despite global trade challenges. She commended EEPC for its role in this achievement and emphasised its importance as a bridge between international markets and Indian producers.

She said, “The challenges of global trade need to be turned into opportunities by utilising the exceptional capabilities available in our country. EEPC should continue this process of change and keep working to make India's economy continuously stronger with the spirit of 'Nation First'.”

The President underscored India’s strength in delivering high-quality engineering services and products at low cost. Stressing the need for innovation, she urged EEPC and stakeholders to work towards making India a global innovation centre by creating a supportive ecosystem for talent and entrepreneurship.
