Vantage | What India must do to be a $7 trillion economy by 2030
FirstpostAs the Indian government gears up to present the annual budget in what is considered the last one ahead of the general election, the focus is on maintaining stability with an interim budget. In the next three years, India aims to secure its position as the world’s third-largest economy, targeting a GDP of $5 trillion dollars. Projections for India’s growth trajectory are optimistic, with the Central Bank of India estimating a 7 per cent growth rate in 2024. The finance ministry’s report identifies three key trends that could shape India’s economic landscape: de-globalization, artificial intelligence, and energy transition. As the budget day approaches, observers await to see if Thursday’s budget will lay the foundation to tackle these issues and set the stage for India’s economic future.
