India is going to be the motor and engine of growth in the world, Consul General Sandeep Chakravorty has said as he rang the closing bell at NASDAQ in Times Square to celebrate India's 71st Republic Day.

Chakravorty on Friday said India is poised to become the third largest economy in the world in the coming years.

India is currently an almost three trillion dollar economy and the Narendra Modi government has set the goal of making India a USD 5 trillion economy by 2024, with hopes to see the country become a USD 10 trillion economy as the decade ends in 2030.

"India is going to be the motor and the engine of growth in the world," Chakravorty said on Friday at the NASDAQ Marketsite in the heart of Times Square.

While currently four Indian companies are listed on NASDAQ, he expressed hope that by the end of the decade, more than 150 Indian companies will be listed in NASDAQ, making India not only an engine of world growth, "but India will also be a growth center, engine of growth for NASDAQ."
