Seventy-Five Years of Engineering Excellence: EEPC India Celebrates Platinum Jubilee with Presidential Vision

The Business Factors News Desk

New Delhi, September 8, 2025 — The grand halls of New Delhi shimmered with pride and promise today as President Droupadi Murmu stepped into the spotlight to mark the Platinum Jubilee of EEPC India—a celebration not just of longevity, but of legacy, leadership, and a bold leap into the future.

Seventy-five years. That’s how long the Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) has been powering India’s industrial ambitions, bridging continents, and championing the spirit of Indian enterprise. And today, the President’s message was crystal clear:

From $70 Billion to $115 Billion: A Decade of Defying Odds

In a world riddled with trade tensions and shifting global orders, India’s engineering exports have surged—from $70 billion to over $115 billion in just ten years. President Murmu hailed this as a remarkable feat, especially given the headwinds of international uncertainty. 

EEPC: The Bridge Between Bharat and the World

More than a trade body, EEPC is now a strategic conduit—connecting Indian producers to global markets, and Indian ideas to global value chains. With the World Trade Order evolving, the President urged EEPC to scale up its ambition, expand its reach, and empower Indian entrepreneurs to lead the charge.She emphasised that India’s engineering export map has transformed dramatically over the decades, and this momentum must continue—with the mantra of ‘Nation First’ guiding every move.

Innovation Is the New Currency

President Murmu didn’t mince words when it came to India’s next big leap: She spotlighted India’s high-quality, low-cost engineering prowess, and the presence of Global Capability Centres of top multinational firms as proof of India’s rising stature. But she also laid down a challenge—to create an ecosystem that nurtures talent, rewards creativity, and fuels invention.

In a world where innovation economies dominate, India must shift from being a catch-up player to a trendsetter, she said. And EEPC, with its vast network and influence, must lead this transformation.

The Road Ahead: From Exporter to Innovator

The Platinum Jubilee wasn’t just a celebration—it was a call to action. With global trade at a crossroads and technology reshaping industries, India’s engineering sector must evolve from exporter to innovator, from supplier to solution-maker.

President Murmu’s message to EEPC stakeholders was both inspiring and urgent:
