Addressing a post-Budget webinar on infrastructure and investment, he said that this year’s budget imparts new energy to the growth of the infrastructure sector in the country.
“We consider infrastructure development as the driving force of the economy; India will achieve the target of becoming a developed nation by 2047 by following this path,” Modi said.
He said that now there is a need to increase the pace of this development and move in top gear, and in this, Prime Minister Gati Shakti national master plan would play a critical role.
