PPrime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated and addressed the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show 2025 in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh today. Speaking on the occasion, Prime Minister welcomed all traders, investors, entrepreneurs, and young participants attending the UP International Trade Show. He expressed happiness that over 2,200 exhibitors are showcasing their products and services at the event. Shri Modi highlighted that Russia is the country partner for this edition of the trade show, underscoring the strengthening of a time-tested partnership. He congratulated Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, government colleagues, and other stakeholders for organizing the event. The Prime Minister noted that the occasion coincides with the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, who guided the nation on the path of Antyodaya—upliftment of the last person in the queue. He emphasized that Antyodaya means ensuring development reaches even the poorest, eliminating all forms of discrimination. He further remarked that India is now offering this very model of inclusive development to the world.
Citing an example, the Prime Minister noted the global recognition of India’s Fintech sector. He highlighted that its most significant feature is its contribution to inclusive development. Shri Modi emphasized that India has built open platforms that take everyone along—such as UPI, Aadhaar, DigiLocker, and ONDC—offering equal opportunities to all. He underscored the principle of “Platforms for All, Progress for All.” The Prime Minister remarked that the impact of these platforms is visible across India, with both mall shoppers and street-side tea vendors using UPI. He pointed out that formal credit, once accessible only to large companies, now reaches street vendors through the PM SVANidhi scheme.
Citing the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) as another transformative example, Shri Modi recalled that there was a time when selling goods to the government was limited to large players. Today, nearly 25 lakh sellers and service providers are connected to the GeM portal. These include small traders, entrepreneurs, and shopkeepers who are now able to sell directly to the Government of India. The Prime Minister highlighted that the government has procured goods and services worth ₹15 lakh crore through GeM so far. Of this, approximately ₹7 lakh crore worth of purchases have been made from MSMEs and small industries. He remarked that such a scenario was unimaginable under previous governments. Now, even a small shopkeeper in a remote corner of the country is selling products on the GeM portal. The Prime Minister emphasized that this is the essence of Antyodaya and the foundation of India’s development model.
Underlining that India is advancing toward its goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, the Prime Minister emphasised, “Despite global disruptions and uncertainty, India’s growth remains attractive”. He remarked that disruptions do not divert India—they reveal new directions. Amidst these challenges, India is laying a strong foundation for the coming decades. Shri Modi reiterated that the nation’s resolve and guiding mantra is Aatmanirbhar Bharat. He asserted that there is no greater helplessness than dependence on others. In a changing world, the more a country relies on others, the more its growth is compromised. “India must become self-reliant. Every product that can be made in India must be produced in India”, stressed the Prime Minister. Addressing the large gathering of entrepreneurs, traders, and innovators, the Prime Minister noted that they are key stakeholders in the Aatmanirbhar Bharat campaign, urging them to design business models that strengthen India’s self-reliance.
Underscoring that the government is strongly focused on Make in India and boosting domestic manufacturing, the Prime Minister emphasized the vision to produce everything from chips to ships within the country. To support this, the government is continuously working to enhance Ease of Doing Business. Shri Modi highlighted that over 40,000 compliances have been eliminated, and hundreds of rules that previously led to legal cases over minor business errors have been decriminalized. He affirmed that the government stands shoulder to shoulder with entrepreneurs. However, he also shared key expectations, urging that all manufactured products must be of the highest quality. The Prime Minister noted that citizens increasingly expect consistent improvement in the quality of indigenous products and stressed that there must be no compromise on quality. He remarked that every Indian is now connecting with swadeshi and wants to buy local products. The sentiment of proudly saying “this is swadeshi” is being felt across the country. He called on traders to adopt this mantra and prioritize products that are made in India.
The Prime Minister underscored the critical importance of research, stating that investment in this domain must increase manifold. He affirmed that the government has already taken necessary steps to support this expansion. Shri Modi emphasized that private investment in research is now imperative and must be actively pursued. He described this as a demand of the times and called for the creation of a comprehensive ecosystem for indigenous research, design, and development.
Highlighting that Uttar Pradesh is brimming with extraordinary investment potential, the Prime Minister noted that the connectivity revolution in recent years has significantly reduced logistics costs. Uttar Pradesh now has the highest number of expressways in the country and leads in the number of international airports. It serves as a hub for two major dedicated freight corridors. Shri Modi remarked that UP ranks number one in heritage tourism, and initiatives like Namami Gange have placed the state on the cruise tourism map. He emphasized that the One District One Product scheme has enabled products from various districts in UP to reach international markets. In manufacturing, UP is setting new records, especially in electronics and mobile production. The Prime Minister stated that India has become the world’s second-largest mobile producer in the past decade, with UP playing a major role—producing nearly 55 percent of all mobile phones manufactured in the country. He added that UP will also strengthen India’s self-reliance in the semiconductor sector, with a major semiconductor facility set to begin operations just a few kilometers away.
Shri Modi cited the defence sector as another key example, stating that India’s armed forces seek indigenous solutions and aim to reduce external dependence. “In India, we are developing a vibrant defence sector, creating an ecosystem where every component bears the mark of ‘Made in India’”, emphasised the Prime Minister highlighting Uttar Pradesh’s significant role in this transformation, noting that production of AK-203 rifles will soon commence at a factory established with Russian collaboration. He added that a Defence Corridor is being developed in UP, where manufacturing of BrahMos missiles and other weapon systems has already begun. The Prime Minister urged all stakeholders to invest and manufacture in Uttar Pradesh, which boasts a robust and expanding network of millions of MSMEs. He encouraged leveraging their capabilities to produce complete products within the state. He assured that both the Government of Uttar Pradesh and the Government of India stand ready to provide full support.
Affirming that India stands firmly with its industries, traders, and citizens, driven by the commitment to Reform, Perform, and Transform, Shri Modi highlighted that just three days ago, next-generation GST reforms were implemented, describing them as ‘structural changes that will propel India’s growth story’. These reforms will simplify GST registration, reduce tax disputes, and accelerate refunds for MSMEs, benefiting every sector. The Prime Minister noted that stakeholders have experienced three distinct phases—pre-GST, post-GST, and now the next-generation GST reforms—and emphasized the significant difference they have made. He illustrated this with examples, stating that before 2014, the multitude of taxes made it difficult to manage both business costs and household budgets. A shirt priced at ₹1,000 attracted nearly ₹170 in taxes before 2014. After the introduction of GST in 2017, this dropped to ₹50. With the revised rates effective from September 22, the same ₹1,000 shirt now incurs only ₹35 in tax.
Elaborating further, the Prime Minister illustrated the tangible benefits of GST reforms with a relatable example. He noted that in 2014, spending ₹100 on essentials like toothpaste, shampoo, hair oil, and shaving cream incurred ₹31 in taxes, making the bill ₹131. After the introduction of GST in 2017, the same ₹100 worth of goods cost ₹118, resulting in a direct saving of ₹13. With the latest generation of GST reforms, this cost has further reduced to ₹105—yielding a total saving of ₹26 compared to pre-2014 rates. Shri Modi emphasized that this reflects significant monthly savings for ordinary families. He explained that a household spending ₹1 lakh annually on necessities in 2014 would have paid ₹20,000–₹25,000 in taxes. Today, under the new GST regime, the same family pays only ₹5,000–₹6,000 annually, as most essential items now attract just 5 percent GST.
Emphasising the pivotal role of tractors in India’s rural economy, the Prime Minister noted that prior to 2014, purchasing a tractor incurred over ₹70,000 in taxes. Today, the same tractor attracts only ₹30,000 in tax, resulting in a direct saving of more than ₹40,000 for farmers. He highlighted that three-wheelers, a major source of employment for the poor, previously attracted ₹55,000 in tax, which has now reduced to ₹35,000—yielding a ₹20,000 saving. Similarly, due to lower GST rates, scooters are now ₹8,000 cheaper and motorcycles ₹9,000 cheaper compared to 2014. Shri Modi remarked that these savings benefit the poor, neo-middle class, and middle class alike. Despite this, he cautioned that certain political parties are attempting to mislead the public. He criticised the opposition parties of spreading falsehoods to cover up their own governance failures, asserting that during their tenure, excessive taxation burdened ordinary citizens. The Prime Minister stated that his government has significantly reduced taxes, curbed inflation, and increased both income and savings for the people. He noted that by making income up to ₹12 lakh tax-free and implementing new GST reforms, citizens are set to save ₹2.5 lakh crore this year alone. He declared that the nation is celebrating the GST Savings Festival and affirmed that, with public support, the momentum of GST reforms will continue unabated.
The Prime Minister stated that India today possesses strong willpower for reforms, backed by democratic and political stability, along with policy predictability. He emphasized that India has a vast, skilled workforce and a dynamic young consumer base—an unmatched combination not found together in any other region globally. Shri Modi remarked that for any investor or company seeking to elevate their growth, investing in India presents the most attractive opportunity. He asserted that investing in India, and in Uttar Pradesh in particular, is a win-win situation. The Prime Minister concluded by affirming that through collective efforts, a developed India and a developed Uttar Pradesh will be realized. He extended his best wishes to all participants of the International Trade Show.
The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Yogi Adityanath was present among other dignitaries at the event.

==========================================================================================
Maa Tripura Sundari Ki Jai, Beneshwar Dham Ki Jai, Mangarh Dham Ki Jai, Jai Guru to all of you! Ram-Ram! Hon’ble Governor Shri Haribhau Bagade ji, the popular Chief Minister Shri Bhajanlal Sharma ji, former Chief Minister sister Vasundhara Raje ji, my colleague in the Cabinet Pralhad Joshi ji, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat ji and Ashwini Vaishnaw ji joining us from Jodhpur, Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal ji joining us from Bikaner, Deputy Chief Ministers Prem Chand Bairwa ji and Diya Kumari ji, BJP State President Shri Madan Rathore ji, ministers of the Rajasthan government, other dignitaries present here, brothers and sisters,
On this fourth day of Navratri, I have had the good fortune to come to Banswara, the land of Maa Tripura Sundari. I also had the ‘darshan’ of Maa Mahi, who is considered the Ganga of Kanthal and Vagad. The waters of the Mahi River symbolize the struggle and resilience of our tribal brothers and sisters. The inspiring leadership of the great hero Govind Guru ji awakened a new consciousness, and the sacred waters of the Mahi bear witness to that epic saga. I bow with reverence to Maa Tripura Sundari and Maa Mahi.
Friends,
I pay respectful homage and bow to Maharana Pratap and Raja Bansiya Bhil from this land of devotion and valour.
Friends,
We worship the nine forms of Shakti during Navratri, and today such a grand event related to the power of energy, i.e. electricity production, is taking place here. A new chapter of Bharat’s potential in the power sector is being written today from the soil of Rajasthan. Power projects worth more than 90,000 crore rupees have been launched today in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Maharashtra. Launching projects worth more than 90,000 crore rupees simultaneously shows that the nation is advancing at the speed of power, and every part of the country is participating in this pace. Every state is being given priority. Here in Rajasthan too, the foundation stones of clean energy projects and transmission lines have been laid. The Rajasthan Atomic Power Project has been inaugurated in Banswara. A solar energy project has also been launched here. This means that the country is taking its power generation capacity to new heights from solar energy to nuclear energy.
Friends,
Today, the vehicle of development runs only on electricity in the era of technology and industries. If there is electricity, there is light! If there is electricity, there is speed! If there is electricity, there is progress! If there is electricity, distances shrink! And if there is electricity, the world is within our reach.
But my brothers and sisters,
The Congress government in our country never paid attention to the importance of electricity. When you gave me the opportunity to serve and I took responsibility in 2014, there were 2.5 crore households in the country without an electricity connection. Even after 70 years of independence, 18,000 villages in the country didn’t even have an electricity pole. There used to be hours-long power cuts in big cities. In villages, getting electricity for 4–5 hours was considered a big deal. At that time, people used to joke that the news wasn’t when electricity went away, the news was when electricity came. People congratulated each other if there was electricity for even one hour. That was the situation. And factories couldn’t run without electricity and new industries couldn’t be set up. Such was the situation in Rajasthan and across the country.
Brothers and sisters,
In 2014, our government resolved to change these conditions. We brought electricity to every village in the country. We gave free electricity connections to 2.5 crore households. And wherever the wires reached, electricity reached there too, lives became easier, and new industries came up.
Friends,
In the 21st century, any country that wants to grow rapidly must increase its electricity production. And the most successful will be those countries that lead in clean energy. That is why our government has turned the clean energy campaign into a people’s movement. We launched the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. Under this scheme, solar panels are being installed on rooftops in both cities and villages. To provide cheap electricity to our farmers, solar pumps are being installed in fields under the PM-KUSUM Yojana. Today, solar projects have been inaugurated in many states in this direction. These projects will directly benefit lakhs of farmers. That means PM Surya Ghar Yojana for free electricity at home, and PM-KUSUM Yojana for free electricity in farms. Just a short while ago, I spoke to several farmer beneficiaries of the PM-KUSUM Yojana, including farmers from Maharashtra, and the experiences they shared were very encouraging. Free electricity from solar energy is proving to be a huge boon for them.
Friends,
Today Bharat is working at a fast pace to become developed, and Rajasthan too has a big role in this. Today, projects worth 30,000 crore rupees have also been launched here for the people of Rajasthan. These projects, related to water, electricity, and health, will increase facilities for you all. I have also flagged off three new trains, including Vande Bharat. At this time, a major campaign to create new employment opportunities is also underway across the country. As part of this effort, today 15,000 youth of Rajasthan have received appointment letters for government jobs. I extend my best wishes to all these young people for this new journey of their lives. I also congratulate the people of Rajasthan on these development projects.
Friends,
I am happy that today the BJP government of Rajasthan is working with full honesty for the development of the state. The wounds that Congress inflicted by looting Rajasthan are being healed by our government. Rajasthan had become the centre of paper leaks under the Congress government. Even the Jal Jeevan Mission was sacrificed at the altar of corruption. Crimes against women were at their peak, and rapists were being protected. Areas like Banswara, Dungarpur, and Pratapgarh saw a rise in crime and illegal liquor trade during Congress rule. But when you gave the BJP a chance here, we strengthened law and order, accelerated schemes, and launched major projects. Today, highways and expressways are being laid across Rajasthan. Today, the BJP government is putting Rajasthan, especially South Rajasthan, on the path of rapid development.
Friends,
Today is the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya ji. He gave us the principle of Antyodaya. Antyodaya means the upliftment of the person standing on the last step of society. His vision has today become our mission. We are working for the welfare of the poor, Dalits, backward classes, and tribals with a spirit of service. Guided by the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, we are moving forward.
Friends,
Congress has always ignored the tribal community and never understood their needs. It is the BJP government that prioritized tribal welfare and created a separate ministry for it. When Atal ji’s government came, the Tribal Ministry was established for the first time. Before that, decades had passed, great leaders came and went, but no separate ministry was made for tribal communities. It was only when Atal ji came that it happened during the BJP government. During the Congress era, no one could even imagine such big projects in tribal regions! But under the BJP government, all this has become possible. Recently, we launched a huge PM MITRA Park in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, which is also a tribal area. This will greatly benefit tribal farmers, especially cotton-growing farmers.
Friends,
It is because of the BJP’s efforts that today the daughter of a poor tribal family, respected Droupadi Murmu ji, has become the President of the country. It was President Murmu herself who raised the issue of the most deprived tribal communities. Inspired by her, we launched the PM JANMAN Yojana. Under this scheme, even the most marginalized tribal groups are being given priority. Today, tribal villages are being modernized under the Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan. People know Bhagwan Birsa Munda as Dharti Aaba. This campaign will benefit more than 5 crore tribal people. Hundreds of Eklavya Model Residential Schools are being opened across the country. We have also recognized the forest rights of forest dwellers and Scheduled Tribes.
Friends,
You also know that our tribal brothers and sisters have been using forest resources for thousands of years. We launched the Van Dhan Yojana to ensure that these forest resources become a means of their progress. We increased the MSP for forest produce. We also connected tribal products to the market. As a result, there has been a record increase in forest produce across the country.
Friends,
It is our commitment that the tribal community gets the opportunity to live life with dignity. Protecting their faith, their self-respect, and their culture is our solemn pledge.
Friends,
When the life of the common citizen becomes easier, then he himself takes the lead in driving the country’s progress. You may recall, the situation was so bad 11 years ago during the Congress era. And why was it bad? Because the Congress government was engaged in exploiting the very people of the country, looting the citizens of the country. At that time, both taxes and inflation were sky high. When you blessed Modi, our government put an end to the Congress’s loot.
Friends,
And this is exactly the reason why they are so angry with me these days.
Friends,
In 2017, we freed the country from the tangle of taxes and tolls by implementing GST. From the very first day of this Navratri, a major reform has again been made in GST. As a result, today the entire country is celebrating a GST ‘Bachat’ (Savings) Festival. Most of the everyday items used in households have become cheaper. Here, so many mothers and sisters have gathered. When I was coming here in the jeep, all the mothers and sisters were showering their blessings. Household expenses for mothers and sisters have gone down.
Friends,
Before 2014, if you bought everyday items like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, or tooth powder worth 100 rupees, you actually had to pay 131 rupees. The item cost 100 rupees, but you had to pay 131 rupees. I am talking about the time before 2014, when today’s so-called “statement warriors” spread all kinds of lies. The Congress government used to charge 31 rupees tax on a purchase of 100 rupees. In 2017, when we implemented GST for the first time, that same 100-rupee item became available at just 118 rupees. Meaning, compared to the Congress government, people saved 13 rupees on every 100 rupees under the BJP government. Now, after the GST reform we introduced on 22nd September, that same 100-rupee item, which earlier cost 131 rupees, now costs only 105 rupees. Just 5 rupees tax! From 31 rupees tax to only 5 rupees tax! This means compared to the Congress era, today you are saving 26 rupees on every 100 rupees spent. Mothers and sisters carefully manage the monthly budget. By this calculation, you will now be saving hundreds of rupees every month.
Friends,
Footwear is everyone’s need. In Congress rule, if you bought a pair of shoes worth 500 rupees, it used to cost you 575 rupees. That means on a 500-rupee shoe, Congress collected 75 rupees in tax. When we implemented GST, the tax was reduced by 15 rupees. Now, after the new GST reform, you will save another 50 rupees on the same pair of shoes. Earlier, shoes above 500 rupees attracted even higher tax. We removed that 500-rupee slab. Now, instead of taxing only up to 500, we reduced the tax slab up to 2,500 rupees worth of shoes.
Friends,
A normal family dreams of having a scooter or motorcycle. Under Congress rule, even this was out of reach. On a 60,000-rupee bike, Congress charged over 19,000 rupees in tax. Just imagine! On 60,000 rupees, more than 19,000 rupees as tax. In 2017, when we brought GST, this tax was reduced by 2,000–2,500 rupees. And now, after the new GST rates that came into effect on 22nd September, the tax on a 60,000-rupee bike has been brought down to just 10,000 rupees. Compared to 2014, this means a benefit of about 9,000 rupees.
Friends,
During Congress rule, building a house was also very expensive. On a 300-rupee bag of cement, the Congress government used to charge more than 90 rupees tax. After GST came in 2017, this was reduced by about 10 rupees. And now, with the reform we made on 22nd September, the GST on the same bag of cement is only about 50 rupees. That means, compared to 2014, there is a saving of 40 rupees on every bag of cement today. In short, where under Congress there was only loot, under the BJP government today there are only savings. That is why the entire country is celebrating the GST Savings Festival.
