Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referencing the World Bank’s ‘Global Economic Prospects’ report, stated on Monday that India is set to remain the fastest-growing economy worldwide in the coming years. Speaking at the ‘Invest Madhya Pradesh – Global Investors Summit 2025’ in Bhopal, he also underscored India’s growing role as a significant supply chain hub for the global aerospace industry.
“Recently, the World Bank reaffirmed India’s position as the world’s fastest-growing economy. A key representative of the OECD has also acknowledged that India’s future is crucial for the world,” PM Modi remarked, stressing the country’s robust economic trajectory and promising investment landscape.
Discussing Madhya Pradesh’s expanding industrial framework, PM Modi highlighted that the state presents lucrative opportunities for investors. “The pace of Madhya Pradesh’s development has significantly increased under the ‘double engine’ government. With its skilled workforce and flourishing industries, the state is becoming an attractive destination for businesses,” he noted.
He also announced the launch of a deregulation commission aimed at fostering a business-friendly regulatory environment in the state. According to him, the textile, tourism, and technology sectors would serve as major employment generators.
“The world is increasingly resonating with the ‘Heal in India’ vision,” he added, pointing to the nation’s growing influence in the global healthcare industry.
The two-day Global Investors Summit 2025, officially opened by PM Modi, has drawn participation from entrepreneurs representing 60 countries, 13 ambassadors, six high commissioners, and multiple consul generals.
