PM Modi with France’s Macron. NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday shared a car ride with French President Emmanuel Macron as the two leaders travelled to the India-France Innovation Forum after holding bilateral and delegation-level talks in Mumbai. Macron posted a picture of the two leaders in the car with the caption “Jai Ho”.PM Modi said that after talks and press statements at Lok Bhavan, they were heading to further engagements, including the Innovation Forum. During the visit, India and France elevated their ties to a ‘special global strategic partnership’, pledging to expand cooperation in defence, trade and critical minerals. Both leaders described the relationship as a ‘force for global stability’ amid rising geopolitical uncertainty. Following the talks, the leaders also virtually inaugurated an assembly line in Karnataka’s Vemagal to manufacture H125 helicopters by Airbus, a move expected to strengthen India’s aerospace manufacturing ecosystem. The two sides signed 21 agreements and documents aimed at expanding collaboration across sectors such as critical minerals, defence, high technology, renewable energy and healthcare. Key agreements included a defence cooperation pact and a joint venture between Bharat Electronics Ltd and Safran to manufacture Hammer missiles in India. Another agreement provides for reciprocal deployment of officers between the Indian Army and the French Land Forces.PM Modi hosted Macron for the talks hours after the French president arrived in Mumbai for a three-day India visit. “The world is going through a period of uncertainty. In such an environment, the India-France partnership is a force for global stability. We are combining France’s expertise and India’s scale,” PM Modi said in his media statement. He described France as one of India’s oldest strategic partners and said both sides have infused their relationship with ‘unprecedented depth and energy’. “Based on this trust and shared vision, today we are establishing our relationship as a ‘special global strategic partnership’,” PM Modi said, adding that the partnership supports both global stability and progress. Referring to the helicopter project, PM Modi said the assembly line reflects deep mutual trust. He noted that the helicopter can operate at extreme altitudes, including near Mount Everest, and will be exported globally. “In other words, the India-France partnership knows no boundaries; it can reach from deep oceans to the tallest mountain,” he added.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday called upon the Indian IT sector to lead not just in service delivery but in building AI products, platforms and solutions that work for India and the world. “India’s IT sector has been the backbone of our services exports and a key driver of economic growth. AI presents both a tremendous opportunity and a challenge for this sector… The fundamental shift is that AI isn’t replacing the IT sector. It is transforming it,” he told ANI.PM Narendra Modi said, “While general-purpose AI tools have become widespread, enterprise-grade AI adoption is concentrated in specific sectors. Incumbent IT firms continue to play crucial roles in solving complex business problems.”Many saw the PM’s remarks as nudging Indian software service players to develop new capabilities and work on products and platforms – something that many Indian IT companies are not known for despite sitting on large cash piles. Global tech giants are also facing challenges from AInative companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic.Modi said India must not only be a technology consumer but a creator too, a foundational pillar of the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ principle. “My vision is that India should be among the top three AI superpowers globally, not just in AI consumption but in creation. Our AI models will be deployed worldwide, serving billions in their native languages. Our AI startups will be valued in hundreds of billions, creating millions of high-quality jobs,” the PM said.The PM also sought to address concerns over the impact of AI on jobs, vowing to arm the youth with requisite skills. “I understand the concern of our youth about AI-driven disruptions in the job market. Preparation is the best antidote to fear. That is why we have been investing in skilling and re-skilling our people for an AI-driven future… We’re not approaching this as a future problem but we’re treating it as a present imperative,” he said.”History has shown that work does not disappear due to technology. Its nature changes and new types of jobs are created. While some jobs may be redefined, digital transformation will also add new tech jobs to India’s economy. History teaches us that whenever innovation happens, new opportunities emerge. The same will be true in the age of AI,” Modi said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosFormer Assam Congress Chief Bhupen Borah to Join BJP, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma ConfirmsPM Modi Invites Bangladesh PM Tarique Rahman to India, Om Birla Hands Over Letter in DhakaIndian Man Accused Of Sexually Assaulting Minor Detained In New JerseyMumbai Hosts Modi-Macron Talks, Rafale In Focus; Bill Gates To Attend AI Summit Under Epstein CloudFrom 1910 To Today: PM Modi Revives Veer Savarkar Saga During Talks With France President MacronWatch Macron’s Diary Unfold: Jog, 26/11 Homage And High-Stakes Meet With PM ModiPM Modi, Emmanuel Macron Vow Strong India-France Anti Terror Front, Signals Big G7-BRICS BridgePM Modi, Emmanuel Macron Elevate India France Ties, Inaugurate H125 Line And Expand Strategic AgendaIndia, France Launch H125 Helicopter Line In Karnataka, Rajnath Singh Sees Export And Jobs Surge‘Targeting People Like Terrorists’: Mamata Banerjee Attacks EC Over SIR, Cites Bangladesh Polls123PhotostoriesSaree shopping in India: 5 must-visit cities for authentic traditional drapesThe 50 Recap: Nikki Tamboli says she hurt her family after a fight with boyfriend Arbaz Patel; Urvashi Dholakia and Arushi Chawla returnRamadan 2026: How to make Mushroom and Soya Kebab for Iftar5 Vastu-approved flowering plants you must grow to attract luck and prosperity8 smart ways to include beetroot in kids’ breakfastHow to make Dahi wale Aloo for dinner at homeIndia’s top 5 states leading residential real estate market in 20267 car maintenance tips every owner should know5 windiest cities in the world and why tourists love visiting themYour gym routine is fixing more than your weight, it’s fixing your body123Hot PicksEmmanuel Macron India VisitGold rate todaySaudi Labour Law ViolationVB-G RAM G schemeIncome Tax CalculatorPublic holidays February 2026Bank Holidays februaryTop TrendingMichael JordanJutta LeerdamLauren KyleElana Meyers Taylor HusbandDarron LeeKayla NicoleCardi BPuka Nacua And Charlotte Flair Dating RumorsTyson FuryJake Paul Fiance
