Times Drive Green Conclave & Awards 2024: Times Group's prestigious 'Times Drive Green Conclave & Awards 2024' got off to a great start. On this occasion, Union Road and Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, while launching the new digital platform of Times Drive, said that India has become the third largest country in the world in the automobile industry. Now India ranks after America and China. The Union Minister said that four months ago India overtook Japan. India's automobile industry is currently worth Rs 22 lakh crore, and this industry has immense potential for growth in this industry.

Gadkari said the automobile industry in India has become very important for the central government's Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative. The minister said the automotive industry is one of the largest generators of jobs, GST, and exports.
