New Delhi, 3rd March: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday addressed the Post Budget Webinar on “Sustaining and Strengthening Economic Growth,” asserting that this year’s Union Budget reinforces India’s commitment to long-term, resilient economic expansion.

Calling for decisive action, the Prime Minister reiterated the government’s growth mantra: “Build more, produce more, connect more, export more.” He stressed that as global supply chains are being reshaped, India’s strong and stable economy has emerged as a beacon of hope.

“Our direction is clear, our resolve is clear,” he said, underlining that manufacturing, logistics, MSMEs and urban centres must function as interconnected pillars of a unified growth strategy.

Highlighting global opportunities, the Prime Minister noted that the world is searching for reliable and resilient manufacturing partners. “Today, India has the opportunity to firmly fulfill this role,” he said, urging industry leaders to invest in advanced technologies, scale up production and maintain global quality standards.

Referring to Free Trade Agreements signed with multiple countries, he said these deals have opened “a very large door of opportunities” for Indian businesses. However, he cautioned that India must never compromise on quality if it aims to fully leverage these new markets.

The Prime Minister also pointed to key budget initiatives such as Dedicated Rare Earth Corridors and the Biopharma Shakti Mission, aimed at positioning India as a global hub for advanced manufacturing and next-generation biologics.

On sustainability, he said a major transformation is underway in the global economy, where markets now assess not only cost competitiveness but also environmental responsibility. He described the Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage Mission as a crucial step and urged industries to integrate sustainability into their core strategies.

“Industries that invest in clean technology in time will be able to build better access to new markets in the coming years,” he observed.

Emphasising the need for collective effort, the Prime Minister called upon industry, financial institutions and state governments to actively participate in implementing budget provisions. He also sought suggestions on strengthening Tier-II and Tier-III cities as new growth engines.

Concluding his address, he urged stakeholders to move beyond deliberations and convert ideas into actionable outcomes, saying that every suggestion has the potential to drive tangible results on the ground.
