India Launches Automotive Mission Plan 2047 to Become Global Automotive Leader.
National
To accelerate its position in the global auto industry, the Government of India has launched the development of the Automotive Mission Plan 2047 (AMP 2047). Spearheaded by the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI), this strategic initiative aims to make India a top global automotive hub by the year 2047.
- The AMP 2047 plan was officially initiated in July 2025 during the inaugural meeting of AMP sub-committees held in New Delhi.
- The session was chaired under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and guided by Union Minister H. D. Kumaraswamy, Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI). The strategy aligns with the 'Viksit Bharat @2047' vision to boost innovation, global competitiveness, and sustainability.
- The Automotive Mission Plan 2047 builds upon the success of the earlier Automotive Mission Plan 2026 (AMP 2026) and sets new phased targets for the years 2030, 2037, and 2047. These targets are aimed at fostering sectoral growth, export expansion, technology development, and infrastructure strengthening across the Indian automotive sector.
Main Point :- (i) AMP 2047 plans to raise India’s share in the global automotive trade by leveraging emerging technologies, building resilient supply chains, and investing in quality manufacturing. The policy framework will also help in advancing the transition to electric and sustainable mobility while expanding India’s manufacturing footprint globally.
(ii) The roadmap aims for the automotive sector to contribute over 12% to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and generate an estimated 65 million new jobs across the automotive ecosystem. These goals include strong integration with Make in India, Start-up India, and export-led growth under Atmanirbhar Bharat.
(iii) To drive implementation, seven specialized sub-committees have been formed comprising experts from government think tanks, academia, and industry bodies. These sub-groups will develop targeted strategies for the years 2030, 2037, and 2047 to boost India’s global position in automotive trade and competitiveness.
