India to become third largest economy in next 10 to 15 years: Nirmala Sitharaman

 India will become the world's third-largest economy in the next 10-15 years, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman asserted on Friday while attending an event with US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who is on a day-long visit to India.

Sitharaman said India has emerged as one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world.

India has recently surpassed the UK to become the fifth-largest economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers globally over the next 10-15 years, she said.

Earlier in the day, Sitharaman on meeting Yellen noted the importance of the indo-US relationship, saying, “India deeply values its relationship with the US as a trusted partner..."

“Our strong ties have been reinforced, through significant and frequent interactions between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden and their commitment towards consolidating a strategic partnership."

During the meeting, both sides discussed issues of mutual interest, including climate finance, multilateral issues, India-US cooperation at G20 under India's presidency, taxation, supply chain resilience, global economy, and macroeconomic outlook.

India-US economic ties are getting stronger and deeper with time. Yellen is in India to participate in the US-India Economic and Financial Partnership.

India to become world's third-largest economy by 2027: Morgan Stanley

Sitharaman's comments come days after a Morgan Stanley report stated, India is set to surpass Japan and Germany to become the world's third-largest economy by 2027.

"Three megatrends--global offshoring, digitalization, and energy transition--are setting the scene for unprecedented economic growth in the country of more than one billion people", Morgan Stanley said in a report.

"India's gross domestic product (GDP) could more than double from $3.5 trillion today to surpass $7.5 trillion by 2031. Its share of global exports could also double over that period, while the BSE could deliver 11 percent annual growth, reaching a market capitalization of $10 trillion in the coming decade," said the report titled 'India's Impending Economic Boom'.

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil
