Addressing global investors and business leaders, Goyal said that India is recognized as the world's fastest-growing economy and expressed confidence that the country will continue to maintain this position for over two decades into the future. He noted that India has consistently converted crises into opportunities by reorienting processes and business strategies to suit changing geopolitical and economic circumstances while continuing to remain an attractive destination for trade, business, manufacturing and investments.

The Minister said that his recent engagements with investors and business leaders in Canada and the United States demonstrated strong global confidence in India's economic prospects. Referring to his visit to Canada with the largest business delegation ever to travel from India, he highlighted the positive response received for a proposed India-Canada Free Trade Agreement and the strong investor interest from pension funds, insurance companies and other institutional investors. He further stated that discussions with leading investment firms and around 50 companies in New York reinforced the perception of India as the only credible alternative manufacturing hub, a trusted partner and a safe investment destination backed by democracy, rule of law, decisive leadership, technological capabilities and a vast consumer market of 1.4 billion people.

Goyal observed that long-term global capital is increasingly looking towards India. Referring to interactions with leading investors from New York and Toronto, he said that every discussion reinforced confidence in India's future growth trajectory. He remarked that the question for investors is not whether to invest in India, but how quickly they recognize and participate in the India growth story.
