**PM Modi Calls for Boost to Indigenous Production, Emphasizes ‘Swadeshi’ Economy at Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show 2025**
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while inaugurating the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show (UPITS) 2025 on Wednesday, called for a significant boost to indigenous production across various sectors. He reiterated the government’s commitment to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with stakeholders and emphasized India’s focus on becoming a ‘Swadeshi’ economy in its upcoming growth journey, according to reports by ANI.
Addressing the gathering, PM Modi highlighted the government’s efforts to remove unnecessary compliances to foster a conducive environment for businesses to thrive 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,” the Prime Minister said while addressing the business fraternity and traders at the event.
Despite the global disruptions and uncertainties, PM Modi said India’s growth remains attractive and resilient.
> “Disruptions don’t hinder us, but even in those circumstances, we look for new directions. Amid all these disruptions, India is strengthening the 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.
The Prime Minister also urged that there should be no compromise when it comes to products made indigenously.
> “Every citizen is adopting Swadeshi, ‘Garv se kaho hum swadeshi hai’ — our traders will have to proudly adopt this mantra,” he stressed.
Highlighting the importance of innovation, PM Modi emphasized the need to create an ecosystem that prioritizes Swadeshi designs. He pointed out the critical role of private investments in the research sector.
> “Without innovation, the world stops, businesses halt,” he said.
