A recent NDTV analysis outlines twenty structural reforms the country needs to adopt to reach a $20 trillion economy by 2036.
NDTV has published a detailed report that projects India could become a $20 trillion economy by 2036 if a set of twenty comprehensive reforms are enacted. The analysis draws on macro‑economic modelling and compares India’s growth trajectory with other large economies that have undertaken similar policy overhauls.
The recommended reforms span fiscal consolidation, tax administration, labor market flexibility, infrastructure investment, and the ease of doing business. By streamlining regulations and improving productivity, the report argues that India can sustain higher growth rates and attract greater foreign investment.
Economists cited in the study contend that meeting these reform targets would lift per‑capita income substantially and expand the country’s global economic standing. The findings are intended to guide policymakers as they chart the nation’s long‑term development agenda.
While the report does not specify a timeline for each measure, it emphasizes coordinated action across ministries and the private sector. Officials have been urged to prioritize the reforms to keep the $20 trillion goal within reach.
