Since its independence in 1947, India has transformed from a GDP of US$20 billion to one of the world's fastest-growing economies, with a current GDP of US$3.2 trillion. This remarkable growth, reflecting a 40% increase in the last decade alone, positions India on a path to achieving a US$30 trillion economy by 2047. As part of India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 roadmap, the government has embarked on many strategic development initiatives to make India a completely developed nation by 2047. It has launched the US$1.2 trillion Gati Shakti megaproject to create world-class infrastructure in the country and foster logistic synergy, and actioned Digital India, Startup India, Smart Cities, Skill India, and Make In India, all of which aim to drive economic growth.

A critical component of this growth is the development and modernisation of India’s utilities, power, and water sectors. Significant investments in renewable energy, grid infrastructure, and water management systems are driving the clean energy transition and improving resource efficiency.
