"Need To Develop Industries For Growth Of Country": Nitin Gadkari

Nitin Gadkari said that we need to develop infrastructure- water, power, transport and communication.

New Delhi:

Union Minister for Road, Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said that India is the fastest growing economy in the world while underscoring the need to develop industries and trade for the growth of the country.

Addressing RICS annual awards ceremony in New Delhi, the Union minister said, "Prime Minister Modi's dream is to make India a five trillion dollar economy. At the same time, we are the fastest growing economy in the world".

While highlighting the strides made in the automoible industry, the senior BJP leader said that presently the turnover in this sector is Rs 7.5 lakh crores.

"This is the industry which is giving maximum Goods and Services Tax to centre and state government. This is the industry that creates 4 crore 50 lakh jobs," the Union minister said.

The Union minister emphasised that it is imperative to develop industries for the growth of the country.

"For the growth of our country, we need to develop industries, enhance trade, business and focus on agriculture," he said.

The minister said that there is a need to develop infrastructure- water, power, transport and communication. "We need more public-private investment in infrastructure," he said.

Barely a week ago, the International Monetary Fund predicted that India's economy will grow at 6.1 per cent in 2023, a 0.2 percentage point upward revision compared with the April projection, reflecting momentum from stronger-than-expected growth in the fourth quarter of 2022 as a result of stronger domestic investment.

North Korea test-fired a new generation of strategic cruise missile on Wednesday. (Representational) Seoul: North Korea fired several cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea on Wednesday, Seoul's military said, the latest in a series of tension-raising moves by the nuclear-armed state.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
