From green energy to cutting edge tech, India’s shift to export driven growth takes center stage.
India has once again proven its economic mettle on the global stage, securing a whopping ₹20 lakh crore ($240 billion) in investment commitments during the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos.
Led by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Indian delegation showcased a bold vision for the future shifting from reducing import reliance to embracing an export-oriented growth model.
Maharashtra and Telangana Steal the Spotlight
The Maharashtra delegation, headed by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, emerged as the biggest winner, raking in ₹15.7 lakh crore ($188 billion) across 61 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs). These projects promise to create 1.6 million jobs, marking a transformative moment for the state.
Telangana wasn’t far behind. With Chief Minister Revanth Reddy leading the charge, the state secured ₹1.79 lakh crore ($21.5 billion) in investments, including major commitments from global giants like Unilever, who plan to set up two manufacturing units. The state anticipates generating 50,000 new jobs as a result.
Meanwhile, Kerala showcased its potential through 30+ meetings at the Invest Kerala Pavilion, while Uttar Pradesh attracted significant investor interest with its bold vision of becoming a $1 trillion economy. Global beverage leader AB InBev also announced a $250 million multi state investment, adding another feather to India investment cap.
Policy Shift: Export Driven Growth on the Horizon
Ashwini Vaishnaw, India delegation leader, emphasized the country transition to an export oriented framework. The push includes integrating domestic industries into global markets, streamlined through reforms like the unified Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the adoption of the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA).
Indias efforts to secure bilateral trade agreements and expand market access through Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) further reflect its commitment to becoming a global economic powerhouse.
The Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative is at the heart of this vision, strengthening local industries while enabling them to compete on an international scale.
A New Era for India’s Economy
From green energy to cutting-edge technology and data centers, the investments secured at Davos signal a new chapter in India’s growth story. As the country shifts gears toward becoming a key player in global markets, this achievement underscores its rising influence and ambitions on the world stage.
