"The future of the Indian automotive industry is very bright. Presently, the size of the industry is around Rs 7.5 lakh crore and I'm confident that by the end of 2025, it will be more than Rs 15 lakh crore. The new startups in the sector, in electric vehicles (EV), battery manufacturing, green hydrogen, and the aluminium air technology segments, are performing well in India"

Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways

THE INDIAN AUTO sector, among the older legacy industries, is also one of the fastest in adopting technology, going green, and embracing 'electric' to become future-ready in a sustainable and self-reliant India. Celebrating this transformation, BW Auto World, the auto community of the 41-year-old BW Businessworld group, brought together industry captains and top decision-makers to honour a new generation of trailblazers.
