The target of India achieving the status of a developed nation, or Viksit Bharat by 2047, seems "achievable", consultancy firm Deloitte India said on Friday advocating for a sharp focus on manufacturing and services, and measures to rein in inflation. The Economic Survey 2024-25, tabled in Parliament on Friday, said India needs to grow by 8 per cent on an average for at least a decade to become a developed nation by 2047.

And not in just every sector, but in the high value added segments," said Rumki Majumdar, Economist, Deloitte India. In an interview with PTI, she said 8 per cent could be challenging for some years especially when the
