Has PM Modi Changed India’s Development Story? CII Industry Leaders Decode 12 Years of Governance

As the Narendra Modi-led government completes 12 years at the Centre, India reflects on a period marked by major policy reforms, infrastructure expansion, digital transformation, manufacturing initiatives and an evolving global profile. Supporters view this as a phase of decisive governance and national renewal, while critics continue to debate the pace and impact of these changes. The discussion also turns to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead as India pursues its ambition of becoming a developed economy.

To analyse this journey, we are joined by an eminent CII panel featuring Narayan Sethuramon, Managing Director, Sanmar Matrix Metals and Chairman, CII Taskforce on Building Export Competitiveness and Supply Chain Resilience; Ravi Raghavan, Managing Director, BFW and Co-Chairman, CII National Committee – Capital Goods & Engineering; and Sunil Chordia, Chairman, CII MSME Council. The panel discusses India's manufacturing push, exports, MSME growth, supply chain resilience, investment climate and the roadmap for the next phase of economic development.
