Amid a slowing and uncertain global economy,

there are still important signs of resilience.

India continues to stand out as one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world.

The International Monetary Fund has recently raised India’s growth forecast to around 6.5%–6.6%,

reflecting strong confidence in its economic momentum.

This performance is being driven by:

Resilient domestic demand

Expanding exports

And a growing, dynamic market

Excellencies,

At a time when many economies are slowing,

India’s growth highlights an important lesson:

Strong fundamentals and internal demand can provide stability even in global uncertainty.

However, this success also brings responsibility.

Sustaining high growth will require:

Continued investment in infrastructure and industry

Job creation that matches the scale of the workforce

And resilience against external shocks

Because rapid growth is not just about speed

it must also be inclusive, stable, and sustainable.

India’s trajectory offers both opportunity and insight

for the global economy.

In a time of uncertainty,

it reminds us that growth is still possible

with the right balance of policy, investment, and vision.
