Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told reporters that India is on track to achieve economic growth exceeding 10%.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced that India could record economic growth above 10 percent, a level notably higher than the 7‑8 percent range forecast by many analysts. She made the statement during a press briefing, emphasizing the country's strong macro‑economic fundamentals.
Sitharaman highlighted that robust domestic consumption, ongoing structural reforms, and a resilient export sector are driving the optimistic outlook. At the same time, she reaffirmed the government's commitment to fiscal consolidation and accelerated infrastructure investment to sustain the momentum.
The minister's confidence arrives as India finalises its next fiscal policy framework. She urged both policymakers and the private sector to keep the growth engine running, stressing that translating high growth rates into jobs and higher incomes remains a priority.
