Raipur, October 13, 2026: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, regarding India’s economic growth rate projected by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), said that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, New India is setting new records of economic progress despite global uncertainties.
Chief Minister Sai said that the IMF has projected India’s economic growth rate to be 7 per cent in 2026 and 2027, while the global growth rate is estimated to be only 3.1 per cent in 2026.
This difference underscores the strength, sustainability, and ability of India’s economy to face global challenges, he said.
Sai said that the comprehensive economic reforms undertaken in recent years under Modi’s leadership, historic investments in infrastructure, expansion of the digital economy, promotion of manufacturing, and a conducive environment for entrepreneurship have given new impetus to the country’s development journey.
He said that today, India is not only strengthening its position among the world’s major economies but is also playing a significant role in the growth of the global economy.
The Chief Minister said that India’s rapid economic progress reflects the country’s strong steps towards realizing the resolve of “Developed India @ 2047.” Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the journey towards building a self-reliant, strong, and prosperous India is steadily progressing.
He said that Chhattisgarh is also participating in the resolve of a developed India with all its might. The state government is continuously working to strengthen the state’s economy by accelerating investment, industry, infrastructure, employment, and innovation, in line with the goal of “Developed India – Developed Chhattisgarh.”
