“Manufacturing Is Key To Aatmanirbhar Bharat”: JSW Chairman Sajjan Jindal At WHEF

He said India’s economy is overly dependent on services, which contribute over 60 percent of GDP, while manufacturing has fallen below 15 percent. Jindal stressed that a strong manufacturing base is essential for long-term economic strength, job creation and global competitiveness. Highlighting India’s young and ambitious population, he said the country has the talent to scale industry rapidly. He also cited JSW Group’s large investments as examples of commitment to manufacturing-led growth.

Aravalli Storm: SC Ruling Sparks Protests, Mining Fears Rise Across North India

The Aravalli, one of the world’s oldest mountain ranges, is now at the centre of a growing ecological and political storm. A new Supreme Court definition has removed protection from nearly 90% of the hills, triggering protests from Gurugram to Jaipur.
