Speaking at the India Economic
Conclave hosted by Times Network, Goyal also
highlighted that India’s exports are set to exceed USD 800 billion this
year, reflecting the nation’s growing global trade footprint.
Goyal emphasized the recognition India has garnered
worldwide as a favorable investment destination.
“Exports will cross $800 billion this year, and about a trillion dollars
in the next two, two and a half years. Across the world today, there is a
recognition that the best investment opportunity is in India” he remarked.
The minister
underlined the government’s multi-faceted approach to driving economic growth. This includes large-scale infrastructure rollouts, social welfare
programs aimed at empowering citizens, and initiatives that particularly focus
on women-led development. “As more women
participate in the formal economy, they will play a leading role in ensuring
inclusive growth. The government is committed to ensuring no child in the
country is deprived of basic amenities like food, clothing, shelter, and
healthcare,” he added.
Highlighting India‘s rapid strides in
infrastructure development, Goyal noted
that the length of roads and expressways has nearly tripled over the past
decade.
He also praised India‘s technological advancements, pointing out the swift rollout of 4G
networks, even in remote areas, and the ongoing deployment of 5G at an
unprecedented pace.
