The minister had highlighted that India has received USD 919 billion in foreign direct investment in 23 years till 2023. Of this, 65% (USD 595 billion), came in the last 8-9 years of the Narendra Modi government.

Notably, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said that the goal is to make India a developed country in ‘next 25 years’.

“We have set a target to make India developed by the time India celebrates 100 years of its independence. And hence this 25 year tenure is India’s immortality. This is a period of new dreams, new resolutions and ever-new achievements,” the PM had said.

Currently, India is at a GDP worth USD 3.4 trillion, and is the fifth-largest economy in the world.

The recent estimates by the government has said the economy is projected to grow by 7.3% in the current fiscal.
