Media Statement by the President, CII Mr Sanjiv Puri

Mr Sanjiv Puri, President, CII, said "CII extends its unequivocal support to the Government of India and Indian Armed Forces for the decisive and strategic execution of Operation Sindoor. This mission underscores India’s unwavering commitment to national security and sends a strong message that acts of terror will not be tolerated at any cost but will be met with resolute countermeasures.

India’s response to the reprehensible terrorist attack at Pahalgam is a reminder that India will protect its sovereignty, and security of its 1.4 billion citizens.

We, at CII, firmly believe that national peace and security is the bedrock of sustainable economic growth. Industry draws strength from a stable and secure environment, and we welcome the Government’s commitment to safeguarding these fundamental conditions.

The swift counteraction led by PM Modi reassures businesses and investors that India remains a resilient and secure destination for economic activity.

We stand in solidarity with the Government and salute the Indian Armed Forces for their professionalism and dedication. CII will continue working in collaboration with all stakeholders to preserve peace, economic momentum, and national unity", said CII President.
