Niti Aayog, under the leadership of CEO B.V.R. Subramaniam, has set forth ambitious plans to elevate cities like Vizag and Mumbai into economic powerhouses.

These efforts align with India's aspirations to achieve a $30 trillion economy by 2047, with a focus on urban development as a key driver.

CEO Subramaniam emphasized the pivotal role cities play in economic growth and announced comprehensive economic plans aimed at propelling targeted cities to "developed economy" status.

The collaboration with Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde underscores the commitment to transform Mumbai's Metropolitan Region into a $300 billion GDP entity by 2030.

Additionally, Niti Aayog is expanding its vision to encompass 20-25 more cities, recognizing urban growth as vital for national economic progress.

The initiative, which involves analyzing over 10 lakh suggestions from young Indians, underscores a growing emphasis on urban development as a catalyst for inclusive and sustainable growth.

Transforming key cities holds immense potential to attract investments, create jobs, and enhance living standards.

Niti Aayog aims to leverage the energy and innovation of the youth to achieve holistic and sustainable economic progress.
