India’s journey to become a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047 is not merely an aspiration but a shared national mission powered by a vision for inclusive, sustainable, and innovation-led growth. Despite the pandemic shock and a banking crisis, our progress over the past decade, anchored in strong macroeconomic fundamentals and steady reforms, gives us confidence and direction for the road ahead. As a result, India has risen from the world’s tenth-largest economy to the fifth-largest, a clear sign of our growing strength and global relevance. - Smt Nirmala Sitharaman during her keynote address on ‘Laying the foundations for a developed India #ViksitBharat by 2047’, at the Hoover Institution in Stanford University in California.

Infrastructure development has been a cornerstone of our policy agenda over the past decade. The Union Government’s capital expenditure has been raised by 4.3 times from 2017-18 to 2025-26 Budget. This significant increase has led to a qualitative transformation in India’s physical infrastructure. The PM GatiShakti National Master Plan is strengthening multimodal connectivity, streamlining trade, and reducing logistics costs. As a result, India’s ranking in the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index has risen from 54 in 2014 to 38 in 2023. Also, the development of public digital infrastructure has been transformative. Over the last decade, initiatives such as UPI, Aadhaar, and the JAM Trinity have revolutionized financial inclusion, formalized the economy, and enhanced efficiency across sectors. The government is addressing concerns posed by challenges of digital revolution through initiatives like Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (DISHA) for digital literacy, Data Protection Laws for privacy and security, and BharatNet for rural connectivity. - Smt.

Some of the works done in India stand out and one such example is that of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and its success. More than a billion digital identities have been created using DPI. Using these digital identities bank accounts of people were created and during Covid-19 pandemic, money was transferred by the government in a click of a button. DPI also came useful in administering vaccine during Covid-19 pandemic. In my interactions with the G20, the World Bank or the IMF, this singular population-scale achievement of India is repeatedly lauded. - Smt Nirmala Sitharaman at the Hoover Institution in Stanford University in California.

A massive push has been undertaken to address infrastructure and logistics bottlenecks. Capital investment has increased from 1.7% of GDP in FY2013-14 to 3.2% in FY2024-25, with effective capital expenditure at 4.1% of GDP. Over the last 11 years, 88 airports have been operationalised, 31,000 km of new rail tracks laid, metro networks expanded over fourfold, port capacity doubled and the National Highway network has extended by 60%. Complementing these efforts, the Centre, under the Scheme for Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI), has sanctioned over Rs 3.6 lakh crore as 50-year interest-free loans to States, and incentivised increased capex, resulting in 22 states recording more than 10% growth in capital expenditure from their own resources. - Smt Nirmala Sitharaman at #CIIGCCBusinessSummit in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.

For working women, maternity leaves has been increased to six months on the insistence of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Two years ago, we came up with a scheme where we increased interest rates on deposits made by women to 7.5% to encourage women to keep their savings in banks rather than keeping that as cash at homes. Property registration in the name of women have tax concessions. Under Poshan Scheme, the nutritional needs of pregnant women and lactating mothers are being met. Under PM Awas Yojana, registration of pucca houses is done either in the name of a woman or jointly with that of a male member. So, India is changing and so are the Indian women. - Smt Nirmala Sitharaman at the Hoover Institution in Stanford University in California. India in San Francisco India in USA

Over the past decade, we have surged ahead, climbing from being the tenth-largest economy to the fifth-largest in just five years. This transformation is a testament to our prudent macroeconomic policies, reforms, and the resilience of our people. As we aspire to become a Viksit Bharat by 2047—a developed nation by the centenary of our independence—the path ahead demands innovation, sustained investments, continued reforms and a firm commitment to inclusive growth. Our growth trajectory remains strong, underpinned by sound macroeconomic fundamentals and structural reforms implemented over the past decade. The Indian Government’s Budget 2025-26 has outlined a clear roadmap, focusing on key priorities, including agricultural productivity, rural development, inclusive growth, manufacturing, MSME support, employment generation, innovation, energy security, and export promotion. - Smt.

We based our approach on a study which showed that capital expenditure has a much higher multiplier effect than revenue expenditure - and that has proven to be correct. The fact that the growth numbers are sustaining at where they are is a clear answer that multiplier is actually doing its role. - Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman

Apple’s decision to expand iPhone manufacturing in India despite challenges shows the growing global confidence in the country's manufacturing ecosystem. Thanks to forward-thinking policies like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme and sustained efforts by the Indian government, India is fast becoming a global hub for high-tech manufacturing. Just a decade ago, over 80% of smartphones in India were imported, and smartphone exports were negligible. Today: 👉 By the end of 2025, about 25% of all iPhones will be made in India, up from virtually zero a few years ago, when China dominated Apple’s supply chain. 👉 Foxconn, a key Apple supplier, has invested Rs 12,700 crore in India, with other partners like Pegatron and Wistron also scaling up operations. 👉 India is well on track to hit $300 billion in electronics manufacturing by 2027, with $120 billion targeted for exports. I’m proud to have played a part in strengthening the India–Apple partnership. This is just the beginning. #IndiaManufacturing #Apple #Innovation #MakeInIndia #iPhone
