India is undergoing a significant economic transformation fueled by structural reforms, digitization, and increased government spending, according to India's G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant. The country's ambitious goal of achieving sustained 8-9% growth over multiple decades hinges on the performance of its manufacturing and exports sectors. Key highlights include an aggressive infrastructure development phase with the construction of airports, metros, roads, and railway lines. India is also taking a leadership role in energy transition, aiming to become the largest producer and exporter of green hydrogen by 2047. To realize the 'Viksit Bharat' dream of becoming a developed nation, India must achieve a GDP of $30 trillion and significantly increase per capita income. This transformation requires manufacturing to grow by 25 times, a feat achieved by few nations in the world. The call for champion states in India, including Bihar, Jharkhand, and Haryana, to grow at high rates emphasizes the importance of balanced growth across the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's focus on attracting foreign investments and empowering states to drive their development further underlines the comprehensive approach towards economic advancement. The vision for India includes enhanced urban planning, improved education and health outcomes, and increased public engagement to propel the nation into an advanced economy.
