India to be among top three economies by 2030: Rajnath

Dehradun, October 8

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said India would be among the top three economies of the world by 2030 if it kept up its current pace of growth.

“India today is one of the fastest growing economies. We were at number nine in the list of 10 biggest economies of the world, but jumped to the sixth position over the past few years,” the Union minister said while addressing the concluding session of the two-day Investors’ Summit here.

“If it goes at this pace, India will sure be among the world’s three biggest economies by 2030,” he added. Stressing that the time was right for global investors to invest in India, the Union minister said major structural and procedural reforms were underway in the country under the “credible” leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“You will see that the GST will prove to be a boon for the country in the coming times,” he said.

The Home Minister congratulated Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat for organising the state’s first investors’ summit on a grand scale.

Inviting investors to Uttarakhand, he said the state had great potential in tourism and wellness sectors and its sound law and order would never give them a chance to complain.

The investors would have a plethora of opportunities to tap as 1.5 lakh wellness centres were to be set up across the country under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, he said.

“With a renewed interest all over the world in yoga and alternative treatment systems, Uttarakhand holds much in store for investors,” he said.

Pointing out that there are no challenges on the law and order front in the state, he said investors could carry out their businesses peacefully. — PTI
