Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for a significant boost to indigenous production, inaugurating the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show-2025. Emphasizing the need for a Swadeshi economy, Modi assured that the government stands firmly with stakeholders in enhancing native manufacturing capabilities.

The government, according to Modi, has streamlined business processes by removing more than 40,000 unnecessary compliances. Speaking at the event, he emphasized India's focus on the 'Make in India' initiative, aiming for everything from chips to ships to be made domestically, thereby enhancing ease of business to sustain economic growth amid global challenges.

Highlighting the importance of self-reliance, Modi stated that dependency on other nations hampers growth. He urged citizens and traders to embrace Swadeshi products proudly and stressed the need for an ecosystem supporting innovation and indigenous designs. The trade show showcases sectors like handicrafts, IT, and agriculture to international and domestic buyers, with Russia as a partner country, reflecting strategic bilateral opportunities.
