In a bid to revive the economy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, last week, gave the war cry ‘Vocal for Local’ and pitched for the use of products manufactured in the country.

The PM highlighted the need to support local manufacturing, the local market, and the local supply chain. As India’s economy reels under a deepening crisis due to the novel coronavirus, encouraging the Make in India programme has become the need of the hour.

Here are some companies riding the wave:
