India set to become world’s third-largest economy by next year: Amit Shah

Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah has expressed confidence that India will emerge as the world’s third-largest economy by the end of next year. He made the statement while addressing a public gathering in his hometown Mansa, located in Gujarat’s Gandhinagar district, after inaugurating and laying foundation stones for development projects worth more than ₹267 crore.

Highlighting the government’s long-term vision, Mr. Shah said India is steadily moving towards becoming a global leader across sectors by 2047. During the event, he referred to the Somnath Temple as a powerful symbol of India’s cultural identity and self-respect. He announced that the government will observe Somnath Swabhiman Parva throughout the year to highlight the temple’s thousand-year-old heritage and inspire future generations with its legacy.

Speaking on sports development, Mr. Shah noted that Ahmedabad is fast emerging as an international sports destination, with efforts underway to bring the 2036 Olympic Games to the city. He encouraged young athletes in the region to make optimal use of the newly developed sports complex in Mansa.

At a separate programme in Gandhinagar, the Home Minister underscored India’s remarkable progress in biotechnology. After inaugurating the BSL-4 Biocontainment Facility at the Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre, he said India’s bio-economy has grown significantly—from 10 billion US dollars in 2014 to 166 billion US dollars by the end of 2024.
