India’s Industrial Revolution: Amitabh Kant On Six High-Growth Sectors And BRICS Opportunity

Former G20 Sherpa, Amitabh Kant outlines India’s evolving growth story and the sectors that could drive its next phase of industrial expansion. Speaking ahead of the BRICS Summit, Kant highlights areas including space, semiconductors, data centres, electronics, solar and aerospace as important emerging opportunities. He also points to India’s growing focus on technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing and green hydrogen. On BRICS, Kant argues that the grouping should prioritise trade, investment, climate and development rather than becoming primarily geopolitical. With global economic uncertainties and energy-price pressures continuing, he explains why cooperation among BRICS nations and the wider Global South could become increasingly important for future growth.
