“We welcome the interim budget announced by FM Nirmala Sitharaman, and commend the Government of India’s consistent efforts in ensuring inclusive growth as well as recognizing the pivotal role of women in economic transformation, through a diverse array of initiatives. The country’s phenomenal growth trajectory and economic prowess in the past decade, has been nothing short of extraordinary, particularly the surge in FDI, which witnessed two-fold increase over the past two decades. As we celebrate the golden era, we would like to applaud PM Modi’s commitment and vision for fostering a thriving economic landscape. The ‘First Develop India’ (FDI) initiative, geared towards encouraging foreign partnerships, exemplifies a collaborative spirit towards economic progress.
