This has been India's approach, all through the pandemic. Strong safety nets targeted (thanks to @UIDAI and @India_Stack) at those who need it most, and an iterative approach that adapts to evolving situations.

Macro is strong and stable - even if global conditions worsen from here, India is in a good position to weather storms. #EconomicSurvey2022

Diversification of tax sources and widening the tax base - especially for individual income tax - is critical. #EconomicSurvey2022

What difference is Government e-Marketplace (GeM) gem.gov.in - launched in August 2016 - making for public procurement?

GeM saves public money on a huge scale. #EconomicSurvey2022

Exports going up and sustainably so, as @neelkanthmishra has also written.

Rising merchandise trade balance means India is also expanding its options in the international relations sphere too because of the increased trade.

The #IndiaTech phenomenon. Foreign investment in startups (overlapping with the computer software + hardware sector) has become a significant source of FDI contribution. #StartupIndia

One of the biggest, most important successes of the Modi Govt: the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, which not only restored the credibility of capitalism hindustantimes.com/opinion/how-mo… ...but fixed the banking crisis inherited from UPA 2. #EconomicSurvey2022

Financialization at warp speed.

>@RailMinIndia to electrify its entire network by December 2023. Again, the pace is (pun not intended) electrifying. #EconomicSurvey2022

Railways capital expenditure in 2021-22 will be 5x the capex in 2014. Yes, the ramp up is *5x in 7 years*. Enough capacity to be built up by 2030 so that the rail infra in the country is ahead of demand.

Staggering vision, and excellent execution so far. #EconomicSurvey2022

The internet boom, mainly led by private sector telecom companies.

The telecom story is, in my view, unquestionably the single-biggest transformation catalyst of the post-1991 era. #EconomicSurvey2022

Among the least discussed, but most high-impact reforms - removal of telecom regulations for BPO sector. One of those things that doesn't grab headlines but brings immediate, tangible changes for an industry. #EconomicSurvey2022

e-Shram portal eshram.gov.in/home, a national database of unorganized sector workers, has registered 22.85 crore workers. #EconomicSurvey2022
