Kant pointed out that the nation has witnessed unprecedented investment in infrastructure, which he considers the backbone of economic progress.

The government's commitment to substantial public and private sector investment is evident, with plans for the creation of world-class infrastructure. Initiatives such as the Gati Shakti framework aim to streamline logistics and enhance connectivity across the country, fostering an environment conducive to business and trade. These efforts are expected to not only improve economic efficiency but also generate employment opportunities, thus boosting consumer spending.

Kant also noted that the government's emphasis on sustainable practices, particularly in renewable energy and green technologies, will play a vital role in shaping India's economic landscape. By aligning growth strategies with sustainable development, India aims to attract foreign investments and enhance its position in the global economy.

Moreover, the anticipated reforms in various sectors, including taxation and governance, are expected to provide a more conducive environment for businesses. The overarching goal is to achieve a balanced and inclusive growth trajectory that will benefit all segments of society.

In conclusion, with a robust focus on infrastructure and necessary structural reforms, India is well-positioned to achieve its ambitious GDP growth target, ultimately leading to a more resilient economy.
