India stands out as a beacon of stability in a world gripped by uncertainty, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged investors to seize opportunities during the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference (VGRC) in Rajkot on January 11, 2026. Speaking to business leaders, Modi highlighted India’s “unprecedented certainty” with political stability and policy continuity, contrasting it sharply with global flux. He emphasized India’s position as the world’s fastest-growing large economy, steadily advancing toward becoming the third-largest economy globally.
Modi pointed to robust macroeconomic indicators, including controlled inflation, record agriculture production, and leadership in milk, generic medicines, and vaccines. The expanding neo-middle class boosts purchasing power, fueling growth under the “Reform, Perform, Transform” mantra. Global institutions echo this optimism: the IMF calls India the engine of global growth, S&P upgraded its rating after 18 years, and Fitch praised macroeconomic stability.
India leads as the largest consumer of mobile data, with UPI topping real-time digital transactions worldwide. The country ranks among the top three in solar power generation and metro rail networks. Modi spotlighted Gujarat’s Saurashtra and Kutch regions as growth anchors for Aatmanirbhar Bharat, ready with infrastructure, predictable policies, and long-term vision. Over 1,500 MoUs are expected with 110 international buyers from 16 countries, including the US and Europe.
