Atmanirbhar Bharat
OngoingAnnounced May 2020 · Self-Reliance
Self-reliant India, explicitly not isolation. The framing: turn adversity into opportunity, build on five pillars (economy, infrastructure, system, demography, demand), and make in India for the world, with local products going global (“vocal for local”).
What was promised
- A ₹20 lakh crore special economic package, about 10% of GDP at the time.
- ₹3 lakh crore in collateral-free automatic loans for MSMEs, plus support for people, agriculture, and structural reforms in coal, minerals, defence production, civil aviation, and power.
The ₹20 lakh crore headline bundles RBI liquidity measures and earlier announcements; it is not ₹20 lakh crore of new government spending.
