New Delhi: The Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the Indians to reduce their dependence on foreign goods and instead use the domestic market on the domestic market to become a developed nation and the third largest economy in the world by 2047.
Modi’s remarks on Tuesday came as a result of a four -day conflict with Pakistan, caused by a fatal attack on tourists in Kashmir terrorists supported by Pakistan. In response, India started targeted strikes against terrorist camps across the border.

Modi, who dealt with the event in Gandhinagar during a two -day visit to Gujarat, said India must become a developed nation by 2047 and the third largest economy through a collective effort and commitment. “We must not use foreign goods (and promote products on the domestic market),” he said. Entrepreneurs should avoid sales of foreign products, no matter how profitable it is, he added.
Turkey, Azerbaijanian boycott
The strong boycott movement movement in India gained strength after Turkey and Azerbaijan allegedly supported Pakistan during the recent conflict. Indian tour operators have withdrawn promotional packages to both countries, social media argue with boycotting calls, and many Indian tourists cancel their travel plans for these destinations. The license of the Turkish company Celebi was withdrawn at Indian airports.
“Sindoor surgery began with the power of our armed forces on the night of 6 May and will now proceed with the power of people,” Modi said. “Every citizen must become a partner in the development of the country,” he added.
Modi said that government initiatives such as “Vocal for Local” and “One District One Product” (ODOP) would lead to domestic products. He added that the Indians should focus on using domestic products, except for those that are not made locally and must be imported.

By 2047, he emphasized the government’s goal from India by a developed nation and said there would be no compromise in this milestone. Indian city centers, including Tier 2 and Tier 3, should become pulsating economic growth and activities centers, he added.
The aim of the “Viksit Bharat 2047” initiative, led by a party led by the party Bharatiya Amber, focuses on the transformation of India on the developed nation of the centenary of its independence. The initiative prefers inclusive economic growth, social justice, environmental sustainability and strong public administration and, according to the government, will place the foundation for prosperous and resistant India. The aim is also robust acceptance of renewable energy, first -class education, improved health care, increased infrastructure, transparent administration and inclusive development.
The Prime Minister said India became the fourth largest economy in the world and meant a proud milestone for the nation. He said that there was extensive excitement, especially among youth, when India advanced from sixth to fifth place by crossing the United Kingdom, which ruled India for 250 years.
“There’s no longer a proxy war”
Modi also said that the recent conflict can no longer be considered proxy war and emphasizes that terrorists killing after 6 May were awarded state ceremonies in Pakistan. He said that it reflected a deliberate war strategy rather than the proxy action and that the opponent received a reasonable response.
He added, however, that India continues to be committed to peace and progress, and its aim is to contribute to global well -being.

Calling Modi to reduce dependence on foreign goods and increasing domestic production also comes against the background of the growing business reliance on China and reported support for Beijing during the recent conflict. His notes reflect growing concerns about strategic risks of economic dependence in the middle of regional security. Indian goods with China touched $ 113.45 billion in FY25, with a record business deficit $ 99.2 billion.
