Modi at Davos: World makes way for resurgent India

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Davos visit, in many ways, could not have come at a better time as India's economic growth rate remains impressive as per global standards, with many predicting that India is likely to overtake China's GDP growth rate soon.

During his 36-hour visit, PM Modi plans to showcase 'New India' and the opporunities for global investors in the Indian economy.

As per the Central Statistics Office (CSO) forecast, GDP growth figures for 2017-2018 are expected to be at 6.5 per cent. The Niti Aayog, however, expects that GDP growth will be "more robust" in 2018-2019.

A steady growth rate adds more heft to Narendra Modi's address to investors at Davos.
