INDIA'S ECONOMY HAS witnessed substantial expansion and transition over the years, positioning the nation as one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. As we move ahead to 2029, it is crucial to identify the key agenda that will shape India’s economic trajectory for the next five years. The nation will envision a transformative path over the next five years, encompassing economic, social, and infrastructural dimensions. Here are a few facets of this vision that are poised for significant evolution.
Accelerating Infrastructure Development
Infrastructure development has always been a critical factor for economic growth. In the next five years, India needs to prioritise the development of robust infrastructure across various sectors. This involves boosting digital connectivity, enhancing transportation networks, and investing in energy and water infrastructure. Such efforts will not only create jobs, but will also boost productivity and attract domestic and foreign investment. In the coming years, the Indian real estate landscape is expected to witness a paradigm shift. The focus will be on sustainable urban development, balancing the need for housing with environmental considerations. With the advent of innovative technologies, the construction industry is likely to embrace ecofriendly practices, ushering in an era of green and smart cities.
