“The vision for 2047 is not merely aspirational but a strategic roadmap backed by concrete targets for sector growth, exports, and industry advancement. We must think beyond specific technologies or companies and focus on India’s global standing in 2047, aiming to boost our share in global automotive trade through innovation and quality,” said Hanif Qureshi, Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Heavy Industries.

The initiative involves various ministries, industry bodies including the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), as well as academic institutions and testing agencies in an industry-led effort.

An official statement added, “Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and guidance of Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H D Kumaraswamy, the Ministry of Heavy Industries has commenced the formulation of AMP 2047.
