Modi at HTLS 2025: 8% Growth and 2025 Tax Reforms Underscore India 'In a Different League'

He framed the year’s policy moves as a nation‑first strategy that reflects deliberate reform rather than crisis management.

Overview

  • Citing fresh Q2 data of about 8% GDP growth, Modi called the performance a strong macroeconomic signal and positioned India as a global growth driver.
  • He contrasted India’s trajectory with global growth near 3% and G7 economies around 1.5%, describing India as a model of high growth with low inflation.
  • The Prime Minister highlighted 2025 measures, including a next‑generation GST and zero income tax up to ₹12 lakh per year, as examples of purposeful restructuring.
  • Pointing to private‑sector participation in space, he referenced inaugurating Skyroot Aerospace’s Infinity Campus in Hyderabad and its goal of producing a rocket every month.
  • He rejected the 'Hindu rate of growth' label as a product of a colonial mindset, set a 10‑year target to shed that mentality, and praised women’s rising contributions across sectors.
