He said, “We need to see where the challenges are in the global supply chain. Any bottleneck is an opportunity for India to resolve.”
The Prime Minister emphasized that India can become a global data hub, as the world increasingly generates and depends on vast amounts of data. “Storage, security, and sovereignty of data will be critical — and India can lead this transformation,” he added.

Reflecting on India’s digital progress, PM Modi also reiterated his government’s commitment to reforms:
“I had announced from the ramparts of Red Fort that this is the year of big reforms — and we are increasing the pace of reforms.”
