The government’s optimism is buoyed by the country’s recent export performance. In the financial year 2023-24, India registered record exports of $778 billion, slightly higher than the previous year’s $776.3 billion.
Several factors have contributed to this growth, including the government’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme across various sectors, aimed at enhancing India’s global competitiveness and integrating the country into global supply chains.
