Especially in this government, we have seen the kind of relationship that they have developed, both economically, politically, and in a sense that is helping India&#8217;s economic growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>India is the fastest growing economy and hence &#8220;India cannot be ignored&#8221;, he said.<\/p>\n<p>India&#8217;s manufacturing sector has got a big boost, he said, praising especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi.<\/p>\n<p><!--\/include_growfast.cms?pagename=article&skipcss=1potime:2--><br \/>&#8220;I have to say, the Prime Minister has been very clear, we have to Make in India. And I think the Viksit Bharat growth that he&#8217;s put in for manufacturing, which has been lower, so what we are seeing, manufacturing is getting a lot of traction, EV is getting a lot of traction, renewable is getting traction, and we see the FDI is still holding up. Last year we got USD 46 billion,&#8221; he continued.&#8221;I&#8217;m sure more FDI is coming in many more sectors. Infrastructure as you know is very pivot for our growth and I think a lot of investment is going both private as well as from the government.&#8221;On expectations from the February 1 Union Budget for 2025-26, he suggested that levies on telecom services be rationalised.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On telecom side, definitely we have an expectation that the levies are very high on telecom. If digital India has to be the vehicle for so many things. I think that&#8217;s one ask that the industry has in this budget, that levies must be rationalized,&#8221; he explained. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Generally, I think consumption has to also grow, which means some more money has to be in the hands of the spenders,&#8221; he added. <\/p>\n<p>Mittal also hoping for some tax rebates in the upcoming budget. &#8220;So these are the two things that I would expect the budget to deliver,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency, and what kind of impact it will have on India and Bharti Enterprises&#8217; global operations, Mittal, without saying much, asserted that, &#8220;We&#8217;ll have to see. Eventually the proof of the pudding is in eating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll have to wait and watch. We do expect some blips may come through. But I think India and U.S. relationship is very robust. We will both be, I would say, sensible nations, making sure that we are dealing with each other economically, politically, at a level-based relationship.&#8221; <br \/><!--\/article_liveblog.cms?msid=105115637&pos=botpotime:1--><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/india\/indias-global-image-economically-and-politically-on-the-rise-rajan-bharti-mittal-at-davos\/articleshow\/117428507.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Davos: Rajan Bharti Mittal, vice chairman and managing director of Bharti Enterprises, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos said, India&#8217;s global image, both economically and politically, is on the rise, and the country cannot be ignored.&#8220;I&#8217;ve been coming here for many years, I can tell you with every visit and every [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":220520,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/img.etimg.com\/photo\/msid-117428507,imgsize-12868.cms","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[602],"tags":[22417,138310,116691,377,5928,273,925,23508,13586,5801,572],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220519"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220519"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220519\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":220521,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220519\/revisions\/220521"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.talkwithrattan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
