The Prime Minister also reiterated the government’s commitment to improving governance and creating opportunities. “We shall leave no stone unturned to further ‘Ease of Living,’ ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and increase opportunities for our youth,” he further wrote.

The PM’s remarks followed the release of provisional estimates by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, which showed that India’s economy grew by 7.7% in real terms during the 2025-26 financial year. The January-March quarter recorded an even stronger expansion of 7.8%, signalling continued economic momentum.

The government views the latest figures as validation of its reform-driven approach to growth. Initiatives such as the Goods and Services Tax (GST), production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes, expansion of digital public infrastructure and sustained investment in infrastructure have been cited as major contributors to economic performance.

Officials have also highlighted strong domestic consumption, increased public spending and the resilience of the services sector as important factors supporting growth. With India continuing to rank among the fastest-growing major economies, policymakers see sustained expansion as essential for job creation, higher incomes and achieving the country’s long-term goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047.
