This Special Report examines India’s economic trajectory and its evolving role in the global value chain. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw outlines the nation’s path to becoming the world’s third-largest economy, citing a ‘Goldilocks phase’ of high growth and moderate inflation. The strategy focuses on four pillars: infrastructure investment, inclusive growth, manufacturing innovation, and legal simplification. Vaishnaw confirms the removal of 1,600 antiquated laws and 35,000 compliances to improve the ease of doing business, projecting a nominal growth rate of 10% to 13%. Complementing this perspective, Ingka Group CEO Jesper Brodin discusses IKEA’s long-term commitment to the Indian market, including investments in retail and renewable energy. The discussion, featuring IMF’s Gita Gopinath and Sunil Bharti Mittal, analyzes India’s resilience against global tariffs and its leadership in AI and sustainability. The report highlights the transition from traditional supply chains to strategic value chain partnerships, driven by digital infrastructure reforms and simplified regulatory processes for international investors.
