Lok Sabha elections 2024: PM Narendra Modi has highlighted economic growth as one of his biggest achievements in election rallies and has "guaranteed" making the economy the third-largest in the world
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, confident of winning the national election starting this month, has set an ambitious target of roughly doubling the economy and exports this decade, according to a government document seen by news agency Reuters.
PM Modi has highlighted economic growth as one of his biggest achievements in election rallies and has "guaranteed" making the economy the third-largest in the world from fifth now if he wins a third term in a row as polls predict.
He has already asked officials to finalise plans by around May to expand the economy to $6.69 trillion in nominal terms by 2030, from around $3.51 trillion currently, according to the October document. Though short on concrete details of how to achieve that, it has been a basis for officials' meetings.
