**PM Modi Calls for Boost to Indigenous Production Across Sectors at UP International Trade Show-2025**

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday called for a significant boost to indigenous production across various sectors, emphasizing the government’s commitment to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with stakeholders. He highlighted the importance of India focusing heavily on becoming a ‘Swadeshi’ economy in its forthcoming journey, according to news agency ANI.

The Prime Minister inaugurated the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show-2025 (UPITS-2025) and addressed a gathering of business leaders and traders. He noted that the government has removed several unnecessary compliances to support thriving businesses in the country.

> “The government is putting a strong emphasis on Make in India manufacturing. We want everything from chip to ship to be manufactured in India; for this, we are focusing on your ease of doing business. The government abolished more than 40,000 compliances, and more than a thousand laws were decriminalised. We are standing with you shoulder-to-shoulder,” PM Modi said.

Despite global disruptions and uncertainties, the Prime Minister asserted that India’s growth remains attractive. He explained that challenges have not deterred the nation; instead, India continues to seek new directions and strengthen its foundations for the coming decades.

> “Our resolve and mantra is Atmanirbhar Bharat. Nothing can be more helpless than being dependent on others. The more a country stays dependent on others, the more its growth is going to stay compromised,” he added.

PM Modi also stressed the importance of upholding the quality of products made indigenously. He encouraged citizens and traders alike to proudly adopt the Swadeshi mantra, saying:

> “Every citizen is adopting Swadeshi, ‘Garv se kaho hum swadeshi hai’. Our traders will have to proudly adopt this mantra.”

Highlighting the need for innovation, the Prime Minister called for creating an ecosystem that emphasizes Swadeshi designs and increased private investment in research.

> “In the research sector, private investments will have to come forward; without innovation, the world stops, businesses halt,” he said.
