Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman addressed a Youth Dialogue after Budget 2026, highlighting India’s growing role in the global economy. Referring to IMF data, Sitharaman said even tech billionaire Elon Musk appeared surprised by India’s contribution to global growth. She pointed out that China contributes 26% and India 17% to global GDP growth, together accounting for a massive 43%. Taking a swipe at the opposition, the Finance Minister stressed that India must recognise and be confident about its rising economic strength and its position as the world’s fastest-growing major economy.
