Prime Minister Narendra Modi has highlighted renowned global investor Mark Mobius’ ‘love’ for India. PM Modi on Monday emphasized the increasing confidence of global investors in India’s thriving economy, citing the recent comments by Mark Mobius.
In August, Mobius had expressed his strategy of investing equally in the US and India for the next 6 months, 1 year, and beyond 3 years.He emphasized that while conditions may change over time and other countries, such as China, may become attractive, India’s growth path is not short-term but a long-term development that will persist for many years.
“Of course conditions will change over time and there may be a time when other countries begin to look attractive, such as China. But I think it is important to remember that the Indian growth path is not short-term. It is a long-term development that will continue for many years. So, India is the place to be,” Mobius had told ET Now.

PM Modi also mentioned that several agencies have revised their growth forecasts for India upward, attributing this to the swift progress made by his government during its third term.
