India needs to grow at around 8 percent a year through the next few decades to become a developed nation by 2047. This is an ambitious goal given the track record of other countries in this regard and India's own historical growth rates.
In the past, only a few countries such as China, South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore have managed to sustain a growth rate of over 8 percent for a 25-year period. India's own growth rate has been 6.3 percent per annum between 2001-02 and 2023-24 and 6.7 percent excluding the Covid period.
Continuous reforms can help unlock India's growth potential and place it firmly on the required 7.5-8 percent growth trajectory. India's focus on reforms even during the tumultuous pandemic has been one of the key drivers of the nation emerging as the fastest growing major economy for three consecutive years in a row.
