India is laying the groundwork for its next growth phase, focusing on governance and bottleneck reduction, termed 'Reform Express 2025'. The nation's nominal GDP surpassed $4.1 trillion, making it the fourth-largest economy, with Standard and Poor's upgrading its sovereign rating to BBB. Reforms are seen as credible due to stable leadership, encouraging private investment.
