India’s ICAT signs deal with UK’s Millbrook to promote 'Make in India'

New Delhi, Jun 14 (UNI) To boost Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call to ‘Make-in-India’ campaign, a leading UK engineering giant Millbrook and India’s International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) have inked an agreement to promote each another’s services, facilities and capabilities in both the countries. The agreement is the first of its kind to be signed by Millbrook Proving Grounds with an international partner. This will allow vehicle manufacturers from both countries to get their vehicles tested and certified with relative ease prior to entering the two markets, Millbrook said in a statement. The partnership will lead to considerable skill-sharing and knowledge transfer between the two companies, with engineers and staff from each country learning from their counterparts, it added. Alex Burns, CEO of Millbrook said, “We are very keen to increase our activity internationally and particularly in India, and this is a fantastic opportunity for us to build on existing relationships and create new contacts within the automotive industry in India. We are hopeful that automakers of both the countries would leverage this collaboration to increase and improve their business.” “We are pleased to have signed this agreement with Millbrook Proving Grounds and look forward to working together to create a long and successful relationship that is mutually beneficial. With Millbrook’s extensive laboratories, more than 45 years’ experience in automotive testing and development and unique test tracks we’re sure that it will be a great asset to ICAT and its customers,” said Dinesh Tyagi, Director of ICAT. The first showcase ‘GREAT Collaboration’ was the partnership between UK’s BP plc and India’s Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) in developing and producing much needed energy in India. At the launch of the ‘GREAT Collaborations’ in January 2015 British Prime Minister David Cameron had said, ‘’I am proud of the depth and breadth of the UK’s links with India. British companies such as Standard Chartered, GSK, Hindustan Unilever, BP and Vodafone have been making in India for decades. And companies such as Tata, Mahindra and CIPLA are operating in the UK and India, benefiting both of our countries.’’ At the launch Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi described UK-India collaboration as an ‘unbeatable combination’ and said ‘’I am pleased that British industry, supported by its government is responding enthusiastically to our call for ‘Make in India’. UK has been one of our strongest economic partners and a leading investor in India. UK is known for its strength in technology and innovation.’’ India offers vast opportunities through its markets, skilled human resources, competitive economic environment and location. ‘’Our businesses also operate in the familiar context of democratic polity, rule of law, language and management practices. This creates an unbeatable combination to forge successful partnerships that can bring immense benefits to both countries,’’ he said. UNI ASH ABI PR 0941
