The event was also honoured by the presence of the Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, Jitin Prasada.
In his remarks, Goyal emphasized the imperative of transforming India into a prominent centre for engineering exports, aligning with the nation’s vision of achieving a Viksit Bharat (developed India). He called upon the engineering community to demonstrate their commitment to developing resilient supply chains and producing high-quality goods while prioritizing sustainability.
The Minister commended EEPC India as a model for export promotion councils, recognizing its significant contributions across various sectors of engineering, including mobility, capital goods, and the steel industry. He underscored the organization’s ambitious objective of reaching $300 billion in engineering exports within the next six years, characterizing this target as a reflection of the courage and determination exhibited by New India on the global stage.
Citing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Zero Defect and Zero Effect,’ Goyal asserted that the future trajectory of India would be defined by quality, sustainability, and competitive excellence in engineering production.
During the event, EEPC India Chairman Arun Kumar Garodia reaffirmed the council’s commitment to advancing the global footprint of the engineering sector. He emphasized the significance of government initiatives such as Bharat Mobility, the International Engineering Sourcing Show (IESS), and various awards aimed at promoting quality and sustainability within the industry.
Garodia reflected on the council’s numerous achievements over the past 70 years and expressed confidence in its capacity to reach even greater milestones in the future. He noted that EEPC India has played a pivotal role in supporting the engineering sector, which achieved $109 billion in exports for the fiscal year 2024, thereby reinforcing the Make in India initiative across multiple industries, including automotive, electronics, and medical devices. Furthermore, he highlighted the remarkable growth in EEPC India’s membership, which has expanded from just 40 members in 1955 to an impressive 9,500 members in 2024, underscoring the council’s influence and prominence in the engineering export domain.
