Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a meeting of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM) to discuss measures aimed at sustaining India's growth momentum, strengthening economic resilience and addressing emerging global challenges. Officials said the deliberations focused on strategies to accelerate economic growth amid geopolitical uncertainties, supply chain disruptions and weak global demand.
Members exchanged views on policy measures to maintain India's growth trajectory while ensuring macroeconomic stability. Discussions also covered reforms to improve ease of living and ease of doing business through better governance and reduced compliance burdens. A key focus was the impact of the ongoing West Asia conflict on energy markets, trade routes and global stability.
The meeting came as India continued to remain among the world's fastest-growing major economies, recording 7.7 per cent GDP growth in 2025-26. The council's discussions underscored the government's commitment to proactive economic management in the face of external headwinds.
