Deliberating upon the topic ‘Viksit Bharat: The Road to 2047’, Mahindra Group group CEO and MD and FICCI president Dr Anish Shah expressed, “The Union Budget has prioritized economics over politics, adopted fiscal discipline and invested more in capex. The RBI has done a stellar job in containing inflation. Infrastructure is being massively developed to make manufacturing competitive in India. To make this vision a reality, each one of us has to play a role.”
Setting the goals for the industry, Dr Anish Shah, remarked “India envisions to be a 30 trillion economy by 2047 to be a Viksit Bharat. This means manufacturing should be 25 per cent of GDP. We should be more ambitious and make manufacturing grow 16 times and exports grow 11 times.”
