From 10th to top 5 globally in 11 years, India aims to be third-largest economy soon
Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India’s rapid economic rise and infrastructure growth, including expanding metro networks in 24 cities.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said India is moving fast towards becoming the third major economy in the world and this momentum was achieved through the spirit of "reform, perform and transform."
During the past 11 years, India's economy has grown from the 10th position to the top 5 globally, and is rapidly progressing towards becoming one of the top three economies, he said.
The Prime Minister's comments come days after US President Donald Trump's jibe targeting the Indian economy. On infrastructure growth, the Prime Minister said in 2014, metro rail services were confined to just five cities. Today, metro rail networks span over 1,000 kilometers across 24 cities, making India the third-largest metro network globally.
