Infrastructure Experts to Debate Viksit Bharat at Infrastructure Today Conclave in Delhi

Delhi, July 2024 – Leading infrastructure experts are set to gather in Delhi for the highly anticipated Infrastructure Today Conclave, scheduled on July 18-19, 2024. The event will bring together industry stalwarts, policymakers, and thought leaders to discuss the ambitious vision of 'Viksit Bharat' or Developed India by 2047, focusing on transforming India's infrastructure landscape to meet the nation's developmental goals.

Key Highlights:
Viksit Bharat Vision 2047: The conclave will underscore the government's commitment to transforming India into a $30-trillion economy by 2047, marking 100 years of independence. This vision aims to elevate India to the rank of the world's third-largest economy within the next five years, achieving a nominal GDP of $3.4 trillion and setting ambitious targets for infrastructure development across various sectors.
