Amid global uncertainties, Bharat’s economy shines with remarkable resilience. The GST framework has fortified cooperative federalism, while the “Make in India” drive has led many global brands to proudly bear the “Made in India” mark. Small traders — the backbone of the economy — benefit from schemes like the Credit Guarantee Scheme for MSMEs and digital initiatives like Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), which ensure e-commerce inclusivity.    In a span of few years, Bharat has gone from being the world’s 11th largest to the 4th largest recently., and we are moving rapidly toward becoming the third-largest economy in the near future.In less than a decade, Bharat came out of ‘Fragile Five’ economies and has now become the fastest growing economy. Bharat has undertaken major tax reforms.  With GST, the One Nation One Tax system has been implemented. Corporate tax has been rationalized. Thousands of laws from colonial times have been done away with. Along with “Ease of Doing Business,” we have also emphasized “Trust of Doing Business” equally. With more than 150,000 startups, Bharat is now world’s 3rd largest startup ecosystem. Our over  start-ups are not just dreamers—they are delivering solutions.


Modern infrastructure projects are transforming Bharat’s global image.  The “PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan” has been a key driver, integrating planning across various ministries and states.The nation’s first deep-water mega port at Vizhinjam will rank among the world’s top ten ports, while the completion of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link — home to the highest railway bridge on the planet — connects Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Bharat’s aviation sector has doubled its airports in a decade, its metro network has crossed the thousand-kilometer mark, and plans are underway to introduce over fifty thousand electric buses. Cities are being prepared for a future driven by smart, energy-efficient industrial nodes and parks.
