The sector would develop a professional, disciplined and highly skilled workforce and design and manufacture enough products to meet domestic demand, he said.
It would focus on developing a number of sub-sectors like tractors, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, industrial equipment, and electrical equipment, he added.
