India now emerging as factory of world: PM Modi during NXT Conclave

PM Modi highlights India's global success in manufacturing, exports, and innovation, emphasizing the country's growing international presence.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted on Saturday (March 1, 2025) that his “vocal for local” campaign is bearing fruits as Indian products are going global and making their presence felt across the world.

Speaking at the NXT conclave where the NewsX World channel was launched, PM Modi said the world used to look at India as its back office for decades but the country is now emerging as the factory of the world.

Now, India is not the workforce but a “world force”, the Prime Minister added.

PM Modi said the country is manufacturing semiconductors and aircraft carriers and its superfoods like ‘makhana’ and millets, Ayush products and yoga are being embraced across the world.

“India has also become a major automobile producer and its defence export is rising,” he said.

PM Modi said India should be presented as it is, without any colour. It does not need any make-up, he said, adding that real stories from the country should reach the world.
