Perhaps this is why, the death of the renowned industralist has struck a chord with the entire nation and beyond. The Maharashtra government also declared a day of mourning today in Ratan Tata's honour.

Let us take a look at some reactions. Industrialist Gautam Adani hailed Tata as a “giant” and a “visionary” who redefined modern India’s path. “He wasn’t just a business leader; he embodied the spirit of India with integrity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to the greater good,” Adani said. His words echoed the sentiment of many who admired Tata for his values and leadership, which transformed the Tata Group into a global enterprise while maintaining its deep connection to Indian society. Google CEO Sundar Pichai also expressed his grief over Tata’s death, noting his deep commitment to India’s progress. “Ratan Tata deeply cared about making India better,” Pichai wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Reflecting on his last meeting with Tata at Google, where they discussed advancements in Waymo, Pichai added that Tata’s vision was inspiring. “He leaves an extraordinary business and philanthropic legacy, having mentored and developed modern business leadership in India.” Anand Mahindra, Chairman of Mahindra Group, shared his sorrow over the loss of a mentor whose guidance he believed was invaluable, particularly at a time when India’s economy is poised for significant growth. “Ratan’s life and work had much to do with our current position on the global stage,” Mahindra noted. “His example will continue to guide us, and legends like him never die.” Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani expressed personal grief over the loss of a “dear friend.” Ambani described Tata as a visionary who took India to the world and brought global innovations to India. “With his passing, India has lost one of her most illustrious sons. His contributions will continue to inspire future generations,” Ambani said, adding that Tata’s legacy of humility, integrity, and compassion was one that would remain etched in memory. RPG Enterprises’ Harsh Goenka also paid tribute to Tata, describing him as a beacon of ethical leadership. “The clock has stopped ticking for the titan of Indian industry,” Goenka wrote, underscoring the indelible mark Tata left on both business and society. Other prominent figures, including Finance Minister <keyword id="19916618" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nirmala-sitharaman" source="keywords">Nirmala Sitharaman</keyword> and Commerce Minister <keyword id="19895367" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="piyush-goyal" source="keywords">Piyush Goyal</keyword>, also expressed their sorrow. Sitharaman lauded Tata as a leader whose deep resolve for innovation and social responsibility transformed industries and uplifted communities. Goyal, meanwhile, referred to Tata as a “true nationalist” who brought immense pride to India through his global achievements. Apart from celebrities, politicians and business tycoons, Ratan Tata is also being remembered by millions of Indians on social media. Various people have shared heartfelt posts on platforms like Instagram and X, mourning the death of the Tata Group chairman. Tata, born in 1937 in Mumbai, led the Tata Group as Chairman of Tata Sons from 1991 until his retirement in 2012. He was instrumental in expanding the group’s global footprint while staying true to the company’s founding principles of ethical business practices and social responsibility. His leadership extended far beyond the boardroom, as he dedicated much of his life to philanthropy, focusing on education, healthcare, and rural development. As India mourns the loss of a corporate icon, the tributes from business leaders paint a portrait of Ratan Tata as a visionary who transcended his role as an industrialist to become a symbol of India’s aspirations and values. His legacy, built on integrity, innovation, and a commitment to the greater good, will continue to inspire future generations. Tata’s mortal remains will be kept at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Mumbai for the public to pay their respects, before his final rites are performed later in the day.

Speaking on Wednesday, Goyal talked about the key milestones achieved since the initiative’s inception, especially the dramatic decline in mobile phone imports and a surge in domestic production. Goyal said how there has been the near-total localisation of mobile phone manufacturing. He noted that prior to the launch of 'Make in India' in 2014, India’s mobile phone imports stood at a staggering ₹48,609 crore. However, in 2023-24, that figure has plummeted to just ₹7,665 crore, marking an impressive 85% reduction. But the transformation goes beyond the mobile industry. <keyword id="22266334" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="manufacturing-jobs" source="keywords">Manufacturing jobs</keyword> have also seen a staggering 200% increase between 2022 and 2024 according to Goyal, providing livelihoods and boosting the industrial workforce. Goyal praised this growth, underscoring that 'Make in India' has become a national movement, driving India closer to its goal of becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse. In a post shared on X, the minister expressed his pride in the initiative’s achievements: "Today marks #10YearsOfMakeInIndia, a transformative initiative launched by PM@NarendraModiji in 2014, which has revolutionised India's manufacturing landscape and strengthened our economic growth. Over the past decade, @MakeInIndiahas become a national force, paving the way for our country to emerge as a Global Manufacturing Hub," he wrote. Launched in 2014 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the ‘Make in India’ initiative was conceived to transform India into a global manufacturing hub, reduce import dependency, and create jobs.

He highlighted that the leather and footwear industry has the ability to expand its market domestically and abroad. "We have the world market to capture. We need self-confidence, open mind to accept change" said Goyal. The minister also added that the implementation of Quality Control Orders (QCOs) will help prevent substandard, low-cost leather product imports and help save the Indian Footwear industry from unfair competition. He stated QCOs will help inculcate a spirit of quality among the domestic manufacturers, enabling India to become a world-class manufacturer of quality footwear. On liberalising the QCO guidelines, Goyal said that the Centre will give retailers two years to dispose of the existing footwear stock post application of the order. He also noted that fashion footwear manufacturing up to 72,000 pairs will not have to go through QCOs. Minister Goyal asserted that India is poised to become the market leader in the world. He also expressed hope for the footwear industry to become the world's largest manufacturer. Currently, India is the 2nd largest manufacturer and 9th largest exporter of footwear. The Minister also said that a target of USD 50 billion in exports by 2030 is achievable. He pointed out that QCOs don't apply to exports but the exporters have to meet the quality requirements of their clients. The Minister urged the industry to leverage the Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), especially with ASEAN and European countries and work towards making Indian brands global. Earlier the minister also highlighted that micro and small units under <keyword id="19990810" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="MSME" source="keywords">MSME</keyword> would continue to be exempted from the purview of QCOs.

He added India is in dialogue with the European Union (EU) on the tax or Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (<keyword id="20367525" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="CBAM" source="keywords">CBAM</keyword>). The minister said he feels the CBAM will hurt the EU "very" badly, as infrastructure, cost of living, industrial and consumer products will become expensive. The EU's economy will also face further distress that is "my reading of CBAM", Goyal said. "They (EU) are very keen to pursue that and they have offered that India could instead of paying CBAM tax to the EU, devise its own mechanism. We will consider their suggestion and come up with whatever is good for the Indian industry and for the people of India," he told reporters here. As per reports, an EU delegation has suggested to New Delhi that India could implement its own carbon tax and reduce carbon emissions. The EU has decided to impose a CBAM, or carbon tax, which will come into effect from January 1, 2026, but from October this year, domestic companies from seven carbon-intensive sectors, including steel, cement, fertiliser, aluminium and hydrocarbon products, would have to share data with regard to carbon emissions with the EU. India has strongly criticised the move and is in dialogue with the EU on the issue.

Production Linked Incentive scheme for drones to kickstart industry, not permanent subsidy: Piyush Goyal

New Delhi, <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="keywords">India</keyword> does not 'rush' into any Free Trade Agreement (<keyword id="20000557" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="fta" source="keywords">FTA</keyword>) if the pact is not equitable, balanced, and fair for the country, Commerce and Industry Minister <keyword id="19895367" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="piyush-goyal" source="keywords">Piyush Goyal</keyword> on Friday said. He said that the ground realities in India have changed now and the offers made by partner countries in these agreements are "not at all" comparable to what India is offering to the world. At present, negotiations for FTAs with the UK, Oman, and the four-nation European Free Trade Association (EFTA) are nearing conclusion. EFTA members are Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. The minister also said that India should never rush for trade negotiations as they are going to impact the country for years and years to come. "We enter into negotiations with our eyes wide open, we do extensive stakeholder negotiations...we do a lot of inter-ministerial consultations. We crystal gaze into the future and see that India offers the best business opportunities. "Sometimes trade negotiations take time because the other sides take time to understand what really is happening in India, how the India story is panning out, how new India is emerging. And some people also live in a colonial mindset of the past, so it takes us some more time to get them to understand that ground realities have changed. What is on the offer on their side is not at all comparable to what we are offering to the world and therefore unless it is a very equitable, balanced, and fair trade agreement, India does not rush into trade agreements anymore," he said. <keyword id="19895372" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="goyal" source="keywords">Goyal</keyword> said this at the Raisina Dialogue 2024 here. He was replying to a question about why trade negotiations with the UK and the EU (<keyword id="19895384" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="european-union" source="keywords">European Union</keyword>) are proving more complicated. He added that some free trade agreements signed by the previous government have issues as adequate due diligence was not followed. In some cases, a little bit of rush to enter into an FTA was also there earlier, he said. India and the UK launched the talks for an FTA in January 2022 with a view to boost economic ties between the two nations. There are 26 chapters in the agreement, which include goods, services, investments, and intellectual property rights. The bilateral trade between India and the UK increased to USD 20.36 billion in 2022-23 from USD 17.5 billion in 2021-22. The seventh round of India-European Union talks is underway here. In June 2022, India and the EU restarted the negotiations for the long-pending trade and investment agreement after a gap of over eight years.
