New Delhi: Digitisation, reforms, financial inclusion are among several factors that have contributed to India’s economic growth over the past decade, economists have said as IMF data, cited by BJP leader Amit Malviya, showed that the country doubled its GDP from USD 2.1 trillion in 2015 to USD 4.3 trillion in 2025.
Pankaj Jaiswal, an economist, said that India has seen significant growth in the last ten years. “Since Prime Minister Modi took office, the country has experienced rapid economic growth,” he said. He also talked of benefits of financial inclusion and contributions of people, who were earlier not part of formal economy, also being counted now due to digitisation.
Sharad Kohli, also an economist, attributed the rapid pace of growth to the policy reforms undertaken by the BJP-led government. “This is the outcome of reforms and policies undertaken by the government. And these reforms have happened across the sectors. Take, for example, agriculture, fintech, governance and why forget manufacturing or infrastructure, which has contributed in a huge way,” he said.
