Modi Hits Back at Trump on “Dead Economy” Remarks, Says India Rising as Top Economy

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has firmly responded to former US President Donald Trump’s recent comments describing India’s economy as “dead.” Speaking with confidence, Modi declared that India is not only alive and thriving but is on the path to becoming the world’s third-largest economy, driven by strong growth and remarkable achievements across sectors.

Without naming Trump directly in his address, Modi said, “Those who call our economy dead should look at the facts. India is rising, our industries are booming, and the world is acknowledging our progress. The country is waving the flag of achievements in every field.”

India’s Economic Growth Story

Over the past decade, India has emerged as one of the fastest-growing major economies. From infrastructure development and technological innovation to digital transformation and renewable energy initiatives, the country has made significant strides. The government’s push for manufacturing under the “Make in India” campaign, combined with reforms in taxation and ease of doing business, has attracted global investors.

Modi highlighted how India’s GDP has continued to grow despite global economic challenges, including the pandemic and geopolitical tensions. International financial institutions, including the IMF and World Bank, have projected India to remain a key driver of global growth in the coming years.

Achievements Across Sectors

The Prime Minister pointed to several achievements as proof of India’s resilience. In the technology sector, India has become a global leader in IT services, digital payments, and startups. The country now boasts the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world.

In the energy sector, India is rapidly expanding its renewable energy capacity, aiming to become a leader in green energy. In infrastructure, record investments are being made in highways, railways, airports, and urban development.

Modi also noted the growth in exports, agricultural productivity, and defense manufacturing, calling them clear signs of a robust and self-reliant economy.

Global Recognition and Partnerships

Modi emphasized that India’s global standing has improved significantly, with stronger trade partnerships, growing foreign investment, and an active role in international forums like the G20 and BRICS. The country’s space achievements, including the success of Chandrayaan-3, have further cemented its image as a rising technological power.

A Confident Rebuttal

By addressing Trump’s “dead economy” remark indirectly, Modi showcased a mix of firmness and optimism. His message was clear: India’s economic journey is one of determination, progress, and vision. “The world sees India as a land of opportunities, and we will continue to prove them right,” he said.

The Road Ahead

The government has set ambitious goals for the coming decade, focusing on innovation, sustainability, and inclusive growth. With reforms in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, along with digital transformation, Modi believes India is on track to become not only the third-largest economy but also a global leader in multiple sectors.

In his closing remarks, Modi urged citizens to stay united and work collectively to maintain the momentum. “This is India’s time. We will not let anyone’s negative words dim our progress,” he said.
