Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level meeting with members of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council (PM-EAC) on Saturday to review India’s economic outlook and assess the impact of the ongoing West Asia crisis.
PM Modi and the Council members discussed strategies to sustain growth and strengthen India’s resilience amid global uncertainty. The meeting focused on reforms to enhance ease of living and ease of doing business, while addressing challenges posed by geopolitical tensions and trade disruptions.
The Council presented its assessment of the West Asia conflict’s economic implications, including potential risks to trade, fuel prices, and financial markets. PM Modi emphasised the need for self-reliance and proactive measures to safeguard India’s growth momentum.
The Prime Minister reiterated his call for citizens to support economic resilience by reducing dependence on imported fuel and adopting sustainable practices. He urged people to use public transport, carpool, and electric vehicles to curb fuel consumption, and to prioritise Swadeshi products and natural farming.
Officials said the meeting reflected the government’s commitment to maintaining stability and advancing reforms that protect India’s economy from external shocks. The discussion also reinforced India’s long-term vision for inclusive and sustainable growth.
