The Ministry of Heavy Industries has launched the Automotive Mission Plan 2047 (AMP 2047), a long-term strategy aimed at increasing India’s share in the global automotive trade. The initiative seeks to promote innovation, competitiveness, and sustainable growth through collaboration among government bodies, industry stakeholders, and academic institutions.

The first meeting of the AMP 2047 Sub-Committees was held to outline objectives and establish the framework for the initiative. Seven Sub-Committees have been constituted, each tasked with preparing roadmaps to meet key milestones in 2030, 2037, and 2047. These groups include representatives from multiple ministries—including Power, Road Transport and Highways, Commerce, and Petroleum and Natural Gas—as well as industry associations such as the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI). Academic institutions and automotive testing agencies are also part of the framework.

“The vision for 2047 is a strategic roadmap with defined targets for sector growth, exports, and industrial advancement. We must move beyond individual technologies or companies and focus on enhancing India’s position in the global automotive market through innovation and quality,” stated Dr. Hanif Qureshi, Additional Secretary at the Ministry of Heavy Industries.

The AMP 2047 framework addresses sectoral challenges such as emerging technologies, manufacturing capabilities, and charging infrastructure. It will incorporate input from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), component manufacturers, policymakers, researchers, and end-users. Recommendations from the Sub-Committees will be reviewed by an Apex Committee chaired by Kamran Rizvi, Secretary, Ministry of Heavy Industries.

The Ministry plans to continue engaging stakeholders in this industry-led initiative to shape the future of India’s automotive ecosystem.

The Ministry of Heavy Industries is responsible for developing policies related to heavy engineering sectors, including automotive manufacturing, with the aim of enhancing technological capabilities and global competitiveness.
