He noted that it took 58 years for India to achieve its first trillion dollars of GDP, followed by 12 years for the next trillion, and merely five years for the third trillion.
Reflecting on these achievements, Adani expressed confidence in India’s potential to sustain this rapid pace, driven by robust governmental reforms and social policies.
“If current trends continue, we are well on our way to becoming a $30 trillion economy by 2050,” Adani remarked, adding that he anticipates India’s stock market capitalisation to soar beyond $40 trillion during the same period.
India’s stock market, which currently stands at over $5 trillion, is to experience substantial expansion in the coming decades.
Adani however emphasized the transformative impact of India’s infrastructure sector, describing ongoing developments as unprecedented in scale.
He underscored the pivotal role of governance in fostering this growth, highlighting the tight linkage between infrastructure development and government policies globally.
“Investments in infrastructure lay the groundwork for sustained growth over several decades,” Adani asserted, portraying the current phase as a cornerstone for India’s future economic landscape.
Meanwhile, he urged stakeholders to recognize the profound implications of these changes, poised to redefine India’s economic standing globally.
Adani further asserted, “There has never been a better time to be Indian,” emphasizing India’s unique position on the global stage and the vast opportunities ahead.
As the nation gears up for transformative growth, Adani’s projections underscore a future brimming with economic promise and potential.
