He said the trade deal will help Indian companies reach bigger international markets and increase exports. According to him, this will support economic growth, create more jobs, and strengthen India’s position in global trade.
Speaking ahead of the Budget session of Parliament, Mr. Modi also talked about the President’s address to a joint sitting of both Houses. He said the address reflected the hopes and confidence of 140 crore Indians and showed the dreams and aspirations of the country’s youth.
The Prime Minister added that India is now focusing on solving problems that have been pending for many years. Instead of short-term fixes, the government is working on long-term solutions for the nation’s development.
He said the government’s policies aim to improve infrastructure, boost industries, and make India a stronger and more self-reliant economy.
Mr. Modi expressed confidence that Indian businesses and manufacturers will benefit from the new trade agreement and play a key role in the country’s progress.
