Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that India's goods and services exports have already crossed $675 billion in the last fiscal year and the country is now aspiring to take international trade to $2 trillion by 2030. He said ‘by 2047-2050 period, when India would be completing 100 years of Independence, we will be at least a $30 trillion economy on a business as usual scenario and possibly a $ 35-45 trillion economy if some of the aggressive plans that the government is putting together work well.’
The minister stated that India, with a GDP of $3.3 trillion, is currently the fifth largest economy in the world only behind the US, China, Japan, and Germany. A decade back, India was ranked 11th among the large economies while the UK was at the fifth position. With a 13.5 percent expansion in the June quarter, the Indian economy has overtaken the UK, which has slipped to the sixth spot.
Goyal said the government has spent the last few years laying the foundation on which the country can rapidly transform, grow its economy, improve its systems, and engage in technology. He said ‘we have recently seen some successes in terms of our international engagement growing to about $675 billion (exports of goods and services) for the first time ever last year. We are hoping to do our international trade to about $2 trillion by 2030’.
