The Ministry of Heavy Industries has kickstarted the development of the Automotive Mission Plan 2047 (AMP 2047), a strategic blueprint aligned with the Government of India’s ‘Viksit Bharat @2047’ vision. This long-term plan aims to build on the achievements of past automotive missions while charting a progressive path to establish India as a prominent force in the global automotive landscape.
AMP 2047 emphasizes innovation, sustainability, and increasing India’s share in international automotive trade. The first meeting of the AMP 2047 Sub-Committees was recently convened to define key goals and initiate deliberations. Speaking at the session, Additional Secretary Dr. Hanif Qureshi highlighted that the plan is anchored in clear targets and calls for a collaborative effort that transcends individual technologies and corporate interests.
The initiative involves coordination among multiple government ministries, including the Ministry of Power, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, DPIIT, and the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. It also brings together key industry bodies such as SIAM, ACMA, CII, and FICCI, along with academic institutions, research organizations, and testing agencies.
Seven Sub-Committees, comprising members from government, industry, and academia, have been formed to guide the plan, with targets set for 2030, 2037, and 2047. The initiative aims to integrate inputs from various stakeholders, including OEMs, component manufacturers, and users, to address sector-wide challenges such as evolving technologies and infrastructure development.
The Ministry, under the guidance of Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy, has stated that further deliberations will be consolidated and presented to the Apex Committee chaired by Secretary Kamran Rizvi.
