New Delhi, January 9:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday welcomed the latest forward-looking economic data showing India’s real GDP is projected to grow at 7.4 per cent in the financial year 2025–26, reinforcing the government’s optimism about the country’s growth trajectory. Modi said that India’s “Reform Express” continues to gain momentum, driven by comprehensive investment initiatives, demand-led policies, and structural reforms in sectors such as infrastructure, manufacturing and digital public goods. He credited the sustained economic push under the NDA government for reinforcing India’s position as one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies. Modi’s comments highlighted the importance of reform continuity, ease of doing business improvements, and policy measures that support job creation and industrial expansion as key drivers of the projected growth.
The Prime Minister also noted that the services sector, particularly financial and professional services, has recorded robust expansion, while manufacturing and agriculture showed consistent performance, contributing to broad-based growth. Modi’s remarks come at a time when global economic uncertainties persist, making India’s resilient growth outlook a positive signal for investors and policymakers. He underlined that continued reform efforts, including investment facilitation and public-private partnership initiatives, will be critical to sustaining momentum in the medium and long term.
