Against this evolving global backdrop, India continues to stand out as one of world’s fastest- growing major economies, supported by prudent fiscal management, sustained policy reforms, robust domestic demand and a resilient macroeconomic framework.

“One who remains balanced amidst success and adversity, free from excessive attachment, is truly steadfast.”
