Indians must work hard to achieve a $30 trn economy by 2047: Amitabh Kant

Business Standard

Indians must work hard to achieve the ambitious target of making India a USD 30 trillion economy by 2047, former Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has said. Joining the ongoing debate on working hours, India's G20 Sherpa said Japan, South Korea and China have achieved economic success through a strong work ethic and suggested that India must cultivate a similar mindset to build a world-class economy. "I strongly believe in hard work. Indians must work hard, whether it's 80 hours or 90 hours a week. If your ambition is to move from a USD 4 trillion to a USD 30 trillion economy, you can't do it through entertainment or by following the views of some film stars," he said while speaking at Business Standard's Manthan summit.

Dems target Trump's energy emergency after his pro-oil and gas moves

Business Standard

President Donald Trump began dismantling his predecessor's climate change and renewable energy policies on his first day in office, declaring a national energy emergency to speed up fossil fuel development a policy he has summed up as drill, baby, drill. The declaration calls on the federal government to make it easier for companies to build oil and gas projects, in part by weakening environmental reviews, with the goal of lowering prices and selling to international markets. Democrats say that's a sham. They point out that the U.S. is producing more oil and natural gas than any other country and the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act boosted renewable energy at a critical time, creating jobs and addressing the climate change threat 2024 was Earth's hottest year on record amid the hottest 10-year stretch on record.
