PM Modi pitches for purchasing indigenous products
PM Narendra Modi, amidst pitching for purchase of indigenous products, appealed to traders and shopkeepers in India to abide by the mantra of ‘Vocal for Local’ and buy Indian products, stressing that this will benefit the country and the money spent on such goods will stay within India.
Speaking at a launching event in Delhi, PM Modi voiced to have faith in Indian goods. If an Indian, buy only goods made in India and decide to choose only those items made in India, by Indians.
The PM also appealed to the fellow traders and shopkeepers to please support him in following the mantra of ‘Vocal for Local’.
His pitch for ‘Vocal for Local’ comes following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of tariffs totalling to 50% on India. These include an additional 25% duty on Indian purchases of Russian oil, set to come into effect from 27 August.
India, reportedly,has strongly censured the move, terming it “unjustified and unreasonable”.
Adding that the people of the peopleĺ country embraced khadi with the mantra of Vocal for Local. In the same way, the nation also placed its trust in Made in India phones. Eleven years ago, we used to import most of the phones we needed. Today, the majority of Indians use Made in India phones. Every year we are producing 30–35 crore mobile phones, and we are also exporting them.
In the midst of his address to the nation on Independence Day, Prime Minister Modi stressed the ideals of “Atmanirbhar Bharat” calling for self-reliance in from defence to energy, with initiatives underway in solar, hydrogen and nuclear power amid global trade uncertainties.

The Prime Minister made it aptly clear that India will never compromise when it comes to the interests of its farmers, livestock rearers and fishermen.
He also announced the creation of a dedicated Reform Task Force to drive next-generation reforms. Its mandate: accelerate economic growth, cut red tape, modernise governance, and prepare Bharat for the demands of a $10 trillion economy by 2047.
