"2025 has given Bharat even greater self-confidence": PM Modi lauds indigenous products sales in 2025

PM Modi's Mann Ki Baat highlights 2025 as a year of greater self-confidence for Bharat, driven by the success of Make in India, Vocal for Local, and Swadeshi campaigns.

"Today, we can proudly say that 2025 has given Bharat even greater self-confidence. - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, December 28

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hailed India's great enthusiasm for indigenous products.

Addressing the nation in the 129th edition of 'Mann Ki Baat', the Prime Minister said that this year has given Bharat even greater self-confidence in terms of Make in India and Vocal for Local campaigns.

"People also showed great enthusiasm for indigenous products. People are buying only goods made with the hard work of an Indian. Today, we can proudly say that 2025 has given Bharat even greater self-confidence," PM exclaimed.

It is worth mentioning that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has time and again promoted the idea of Make in India, Vocal for Local and Aatmanirbhar Bharat.

'Vocal for Local' is a national movement, spearheaded by the Central Government and actively promoted by NITI Aayog, with the aim of encouraging consumers to prioritise domestically produced goods and services. At its core, the initiative seeks to strengthen India's economic foundation by empowering local businesses, boosting employment, and enhancing the country's manufacturing capabilities--thereby advancing the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India).

During Diwali, Praveen Khandelwal, Member of Parliament from Chandni Chowk, Delhi, and Secretary General of Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), stated that, inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for "Swadeshi" (local products), CAIT has resolved to celebrate this year as "Swadeshi Indian Diwali." Under this initiative, CAIT launched a nationwide campaign titled "Bhartiya Samaan -- Hamara Swabhiman" (Indian Goods -- Our Pride), which has received tremendous response across the country.

Traders nationwide have promoted Indian-made goods, while consumers have shown remarkable pride and confidence in the "Make in India" vision.

He further added that major GST rate reductions introduced by the Modi Government have strengthened domestic trade and played a crucial role in promoting Swadeshi products.

As a result, foreign--particularly Chinese--goods have completely vanished from Indian markets this Diwali. CAIT's "Boycott Chinese Goods" campaign, launched in 2021, has since become a national movement, with traders and consumers united in rejecting Chinese products.

While I appreciate the sentiment of supporting local, I hope the focus on quality keeps pace with the enthusiasm. Some Indian products still lag in durability compared to foreign brands. The government should ensure "Make in India" also means "Excel in India" with strict quality standards.

Absolutely true! The confidence is visible. From smartphones to festive lights, the quality of Indian products has improved dramatically. My family consciously chose only Swadeshi decorations this Diwali. "Bhartiya Samaan -- Hamara Swabhiman" indeed! 🙏

The GST reduction was a masterstroke. It made local goods more competitive. My small electronics shop in Pune has seen a 40% increase in sales of Indian brands this year. Customers ask for them by name now. The mood has definitely shifted.

Visiting from the US, I was impressed by the range of Indian consumer electronics available now. The "Vocal for Local" campaign seems to have created real market momentum. It's a powerful economic strategy if sustained.

Self-confidence comes from achievement. Seeing Indian brands succeed where we once depended on imports is genuinely uplifting. Hope this extends to all sectors, especially technology and heavy manufacturing. Jai Hind!
