“During the last nine years, India has become the world’s fifth largest economy, thanks to our ‘reform, perform and transform’ mantra of works since 2014,” Modi said.

The meeting was held as part of upcoming G20 Summit in Delhi from September 8-10.

Outlining the Indian economy, the PM said that the global optimism and confidence in the Indian economy has increased with the massive rise in competitiveness and enhanced transparency. “India, because of sustained efforts, has moved away from the red tape to red carpet and liberalised its FDI flows. Initiatives like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atma Nirbhar’ have given a tremendous boost to the country’s manufacturing potential,” Modi said.
