Modi noted the number of cars sold annually in India surpasses the population of many countries.
He informed the sale of approximately 2.5 crore cars in a year demonstrates the continuously growing demand in India.
The Prime Minister emphasized that this growth showcases why India is viewed with such high expectations when it comes to the future of mobility.
“India is currently the world's fifth-largest economy and the third-largest passenger vehicle market”, Modi said, adding as India rises to become one of the top three economies globally, the country's auto market will witness unprecedented transformation and expansion.
Encouraging corporates to invest in the sector, Modi said the rising middle class, rapid urbanisation, high quality infrastructure development, and affordable vehicles are going to push automobile sector.
He said, “For many decades to come, India will remain the youngest country in the world.
They (young Indians) are your largest customers, they will generate a lot of demand.
Another customer set (for auto sector) is India’s rising middle class.
Over the last 10 Yeats, 25 crore people came out of poverty.
This neo middle class is buying their first vehicle and as they prosper, they will upgrade and this will benefit the auto sector”, he held.
The endeavour of the government is to develop a complete ecosystem for mobility, the PM said.
The five-day expo which is being held across three venues — Bharat Mandapam and Yashobhoomi in the national capital and India Expo Center and Mart, Greater Noida — is expected to witness over 100 new launches across automobiles, component products and technologies.
The Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, scheduled from January 17-22, will bring the entire value chain of the mobility ecosystem — from automobile manufacturers to components, electronics parts, tyre and energy storage makers, and automotive software firms and material recyclers — under a single umbrella.
