Economist Surjit Singh Bhalla, speaking at the ABP Network India 2047 Conclave, outlined three key reforms India must implement to achieve developed country status by 2047: restoring the pre-2015 bilateral investment treaty framework, committing to no retrospective taxation, and opening the IAS and IFS to external talent. He criticized institutional accountability, noting bureaucratic stagnation and the limited evolution of NITI Aayog, which he believes has not fulfilled its intended role as an independent think tank for policy innovation.
