Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Economic Times World Leaders Forum (ET WLF) 2026 in New Delhi on Friday, emphasizing India's transition from the 'Licence Raj' era of 'Production Linked Punishment' to a more progressive economic framework.
He highlighted the success of the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme as a testament to this shift.

Impact & Risks

The shift from the 'Licence Raj' to a production-incentive model has significant implications for India's industrial and economic landscape. By fostering a more business-friendly environment, the government aims to attract investments and enhance manufacturing capabilities. However, global economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions could pose challenges to sustaining this growth trajectory. The success of the PLI scheme will be critical in determining India's ability to maintain its position as a bright spot in the global economy.
