GST, Infrastructure Projects and Self‑Reliant India Mark Milestones of Modi Era

On his 76th birthday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was celebrated for completing 25 years in public service. Industry leaders in Mumbai praised his role in fostering a "think big" attitude across the nation.

The introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was highlighted as a revolutionary step that altered the way trade is conducted, enabling larger warehousing facilities, easing tax compliance, and reducing logistics costs.

Infrastructure reforms received equal attention. The construction of numerous ports, airports, and highways under Modi’s tenure has revitalized Indian industry, cutting transportation costs and improving supply‑chain efficiency.

Dr. Ranjit Mehta, CEO of PHDCI, emphasized achievements in digital ecosystems, startup support, and youth empowerment, while also underscoring the "Atmanirbhar Bharat" campaign’s success in expanding domestic manufacturing.

WTC Mumbai President Vijay Kalantre added that India’s global reputation has grown, with flagship schemes such as Jan Dhan Yojana and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao delivering direct benefits to citizens.
