Fadnavis Confident in Economic Trajectory

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday expressed high confidence in the nation's and state's economic trajectory. "Everyone must have observed that our economy performed remarkably well during the final quarter of the last fiscal year. In fact, we witnessed a growth rate that exceeded our initial expectations," Fadnavis said.

Addressing potential challenges, including the impact of the monsoon, Fadnavis maintained a positive stance. "While the monsoon will have some impact this year as well, I am confident that all three of our sectors will grow effectively," he added.
