New Delhi [India], June 25 (ANI): Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal emphasised that the government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is committed to achieving transformative change rather than merely incremental improvements.
Piyush Goyal made these remarks while speaking at a webinar hosted by the Merchants’ Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI) on ‘India’s March Towards a $5 Trillion Economy: Navigating Global Challenges’.
The Commerce and Industry Minister said that his government has focused on achieving growth calibrated for the Indian story and believes in Seva, Sushasan, and Navachar–service, Good Governance, and Innovation, as stated in the release.
Goyal stated that India is well on track to achieve a 5 trillion dollar economy and that this milestone is expected to be reached within the next three years.
“By 2027, we hope to become the third largest economy in the world,” he said.
He added that all stakeholders–government, business community, industry, trade, and 140 crore Indians–are deeply aligned with the Prime Minister’s vision for Viksit Bharat 2047.
The Minister highlighted that MCCI will continue to play a very important role during Amrit Kaal in achieving this goal. He said that such dialogues help the government better understand what needs to be done to support industries, even in the face of global volatility, turbulence, and uncertainty.
“History reminds us that great economies are not built in calm waters. Great economies are built in turbulent seas,” Shri Goyal emphasised, adding that this is India’s time to seize the moment and that the opportunity must not be missed.
He praised MCCI’s 124-year journey, calling it a bridge between the government, stakeholders, and industries. “MCCI can be called Mobilising Commerce and Connecting Industries because that is exactly what MCCI does,” he said.
The Minister noted that India has successfully defended its interests wherever issues are sensitive and secured benefits in sectors where Indian industry has a comparative advantage and can compete fairly with the world. He added that India’s international standing today is at an all-time high. “The Indian passport today is a guarantee of safety and security,” he said, citing Operation Sindhu as a recent example of the government’s commitment to the safety of Indian citizens abroad.
On India’s economic strength, Goyal stated that the country has moved from being part of the fragile five to becoming one of the top five economies in the world. “We have a strong macroeconomic foundation. Our banking system is strong and robust, with a high ability to lend. Our inflation is among the lowest India has ever seen — down to 3 per cent again,” he said.
The Minister concluded by saying that 140 crore young Indians, with big aspirations and dreams, are striving for a quality life, and the government is committed to supporting this through decisive leadership and a resilient economy. (ANI)
