The President of India, Smt Droupadi Murmu, graced the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of the Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) India in New Delhi today (September 8, 2025).

Speaking on the occasion, the President said that in ancient times, India led the world in both spirituality and trade.

Making India once again a leading centre of knowledge and trade should be the resolution of all citizens.

Being an important stakeholder in the economic sector, EEPC should take this resolution with great determination.

The President was happy to note that in the last 10 years, India's engineering exports have increased from 70 billion dollars to more than 115 billion dollars.

She said that this growth in exports seems even more impressive when we consider that there have been many challenges in the field of international trade during the last decade. She appreciated EEPC for its contribution to this achievement.

The President said that EEPC acts as a bridge between the international market and Indian producers.
