Nirmala 'Don’t take India’s growth story for granted'

Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday said India has performed reasonably well on the economic front, but cautioned against taking the country’s growth story for granted, stressing that continuous innovation, reforms and institutional strengthening are essential to sustain long-term momentum.

Speaking at Mindmine Summit 2026, the finance



minister said economic growth alone is not sufficient and must be supported by robust institutions, effective policies and strong support systems to ensure durable and inclusive development.

“I know that our country is doing reasonably well, but we must continue to evaluate our performance carefully and identify areas where further improvement is needed,” FM Sitharaman said.
