Jammu – November 15, 2026: Delivering a keynote address at a high-level regional economic symposium in Jammu, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha declared that unprecedented capital expenditure in physical and digital infrastructure has firmly established India as the most resilient and fastest-growing major economy in the world.
Drawing attention to national macroeconomic indicators, the Lieutenant Governor highlighted that while developed economies grapple with sluggish expansion and stubborn inflation, India’s robust domestic consumption, expanding manufacturing output under Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) frameworks, and record foreign direct investments have created a virtuous economic cycle.
Sinha detailed how Jammu and Kashmir has directly benefited from this national industrial surge, attracting over ₹90,000 crore in private industrial investment proposals across pharmaceuticals, food processing, logistics, and tourism hospitality. He noted that modern multi-lane highway corridors, the world’s highest railway bridge over the Chenab, and expanded air connectivity are transforming the Union Territory into an attractive investment hub.
The Lieutenant Governor urged local trade chambers and young entrepreneurs to leverage national economic tailwinds, adopting advanced digital technologies and green energy solutions to build competitive, world-class enterprises.
