In the Union Budget of India 2019 the Finance Minister laid out the Vision 2030 while highlighting India’s transformation in the last five years. India is poised to become a $ 5 tn economy by 2025 and aspires to become a $ 10 tn economy by 2030. 
The foremost dimension of achieving this Vision is to build physical as well as social infrastructure. It visualizes next generation infrastructure of roads, railways, seaports, airports, urban transport, gas and electric transmission and inland waterways. Universal housing, healthcare and education for all and clean environment are envisaged on the social front.
India achieved its highest average GDP growth during the last five years since the economic reforms in 1991. 

  • The construction of rural roads has tripled since 2014. The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) has been allocated a massive INR 19,000 crore in this budget. India is the fastest highways developer in the world with 27 km of highways built each day. 
  • 1.53 crore houses were built between 2014-18 under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), the flagship universal housing scheme of the Government of India. 
  • With electricity having reached every village in India in 2018 itself, by March 2019, all willing families will get electricity connection. 
  • Capital support from the budget of INR 64,587 crore for the railways has been allocated over and above Railways’ capital expenditure program of INR 1.58 tn.
  • The commitment to promote renewable energy through the leadership in International Solar Alliance promises a clean and a responsible path to achieve India’s energy security.

The above initiatives provide a glimpse of India’s development in the last five years and the assertive growth trajectory for the upcoming decade.
