India's automotive sector stands as a cornerstone of the nation's economic advancement and its broader vision for a developed and sustainable future under the Viksit Bharat initiative. As one of the leading contributors to industrial growth, the industry plays a pivotal role in shaping the country's economic landscape and global standing.

This upward trajectory is propelled by a growing middle class, rapid urbanization, and a strategic focus on green and clean mobility. India's commitment to sustainable transportation is reflected in its forward-looking policies and ambitious goals, aimed at boosting domestic production, expanding exports, and creating employment opportunities across the value chain.

As the country accelerates toward a low-carbon future, the automotive sector emerges as a key enabler of the Sustainable Mobility Paradigm for Viksit Bharat. It is steadily evolving to balance economic progress with environmental responsibility and technological innovation, positioning India as a dynamic and influential player in the global automotive ecosystem.

In alignment with these objectives, the 65th SIAM Annual Convention is scheduled for 11th September 2025 at Hotel Taj Palace, New Delhi. This esteemed event will convene senior government officials, policymakers, and industry leaders to deliberate on the future of India's automotive sector within the framework of the Sustainable Mobility Paradigm for Viksit Bharat. Recognized as India's premier automotive gathering, the SIAM Annual Convention consistently attracts over 1,000 participants, including prominent figures from both domestic and international spheres. The convention serves as a platform for meaningful discussions on the industry's trajectory, emphasizing sustainable practices and innovative solutions.
