New Delhi, Jun 6 (NVI): Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said India continues to be the world’s fastest-growing major economy despite global uncertainties, attributing the achievement to the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the government’s reform-oriented policies.
In a post on X, Singh said the Indian economy recorded a growth rate of 7.7 per cent in the financial year 2025-26, while growth accelerated to 7.8 per cent in the fourth quarter.
“At a time when many countries are facing economic uncertainty, India continues to stand out as the world’s fastest-growing major economy,” he said.
The defence minister said the achievement reflects the strength of the government’s “Reform, Perform, Transform” approach pursued over the last 12 years.
According to Singh, under Modi’s leadership, India has successfully combined economic growth with stability, confidence, sustainability and credibility.
He said the prime minister’s focus on innovation, infrastructure development and entrepreneurship, coupled with his leadership during challenging global circumstances, has helped transform India into a resilient and globally respected economic power.
“As India moves towards the goal of Viksit Bharat, this growth story is creating new opportunities and strengthening the aspirations of 140 crore Indians,” Singh said. (NVI)
