Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Monsoon Session 2026 of Parliament with remarks highlighting India's recent economic and technological achievements. He reported that India has maintained growth at 7.7 percent, making it the world's fastest-growing major economy despite global energy disruptions caused by the war in West Asia, which affected petrol, diesel, LPG, fertilizers, and chemicals supply.
The PM cited several recent infrastructure milestones including a major oil refinery dedicated to the nation in Rajasthan, the country's third semiconductor plant inaugurated weeks ago, and the world's most powerful and longest green hydrogen-powered train launched recently. He also celebrated space sector achievements, noting that a young Indian startup (Skyroot) with an average team age of 28 years had recently accomplished an extraordinary space feat, placing India among a handful of countries where private enterprises have demonstrated such capability.
Modi emphasized that these achievements result from national reforms that enable youth to take bold steps and succeed. He called for productive parliamentary discussions based on facts and logic, stating that Parliament must function with meaningful discussions and collective resolutions to maintain national momentum. The speech framed these developments as enhancing India's standing as a respected and trusted global partner while instilling confidence in the nation's capabilities.
