Modi Touts 8% Q2 Growth at HTLS 2025, Sets 2035 Goal to Shed Colonial Mindset

He casts India as a high‑growth, low‑inflation outlier versus slower global or G7 economies.

Overview

  • Citing fresh Q2 data near 8–8.2%, Modi called the pace a strong macroeconomic signal that India is emerging as a global growth driver.
  • He said reforms are now guided by national goals, highlighting direct tax changes including zero tax on incomes up to ₹12 lakh and plans for next‑generation GST.
  • The Prime Minister pointed to opening the space sector to private firms as proof of results from structural changes, with start‑ups such as Skyroot cited in coverage.
  • He urged a 10‑year push to discard a colonial‑era 'slave mentality' by 2035 and criticised the historic use of 'Hindu rate of growth' as a pejorative.
  • Modi framed progress as broad‑based across the Northeast, Tier‑2 and Tier‑3 cities, villages, women and youth, and described India as a pillar of trust and a bridge‑builder in a fractured world.
