to Rs 95 lakh crore (US$ 1.30 trillion) and more than three times growth in investor accounts to 130 million by 2025.
India’s attempt to implement reforms to unlock the country's investment potential is expected to improve business
environment, liberal FDI policies, quick solution to corporate disputes, simplified tax structure, and a boost to public and
private expenditure. To achieve the GDP of US$ 5 trillion by FY25, India needs to spend about US$ 1.4 trillion (Rs 100
lakh crore) over these years on infrastructure.
