Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday spotlighted India’s accelerating economic growth and rising role in the semiconductor industry while inaugurating Semicon India 2025 at Yashobhoomi in the national capital.
“The world trusts India. The world believes in India. The world is ready to build the semiconductor future with India,” Modi said, noting that India’s innovation capacity and youthful talent pool are driving global confidence.
GDP Performance Beats Global Expectations
Modi highlighted India’s better-than-expected economic results, stressing resilience at a time when other economies are grappling with uncertainty. “Just a few days ago, the GDP numbers for the first quarter of this year have come. Once again, India has performed better than every expectation, every assessment. At a time when there are concerns in the economy of the world, there are challenges created by economic selfishness; in that environment, India has achieved a growth of 7.8 per cent,” he said.
He underlined that growth was broad-based across manufacturing, services, and agriculture. “Growth across sectors – manufacturing, services, agriculture – everyone is excited. India is growing at an extremely fast pace,” the Prime Minister noted.
