Viksit Bharat 2047
Long-termVision articulated 2023 · Economy
A developed India by 2047, the centenary of Independence: economically prosperous, socially inclusive, environmentally sustainable, well-governed. The 25 years from 2022 to 2047 are framed as Amrit Kaal, the decisive window, built on four pillars (Garib, Yuva, Annadata, Nari).
What was promised
- An economy of about US$30 trillion by 2047, with per-capita income of about US$15,000–18,000.
- Sustained growth of about 8% a year for two decades, plus 100% literacy, zero poverty, universal healthcare, 25% manufacturing share of GDP, and 500 GW of non-fossil capacity.
The US$30 trillion figure is an aspiration requiring 8%+ growth sustained for two decades, a feat only China has achieved in modern history. Present as ambition, not forecast.
