The government is working to make India a developed country by 2047, Sitharaman said on Thursday while presenting the interim Budget 2024-25.
“This is an interim Budget. But this interim Budget that she has presented is very encouraging and raises hope for the way ahead also. And the size of India’s economy at this time... I am assured that whatever indications we have received from this Budget, the size of our economy, which is in top five counties right now, will grow to more than USD 5 trillion by 2027. By 2030, it will grow to more than USD 7 trillion,” Singh told reporters outside Parliament.
