Little under a fortnight ago, the NITI Aayog shared a sneak peek of the vision document for India@2047. The big headline was the target of $30 trillion set by the institution for the country’s economy — which means growing the economy nearly ten times from the present level of $3.4 trillion.

To answer all this and more we spoke to Dharmakirti Joshi, Chief Economist, CRISIL Limited.
