    ISSUE 39 | VOL 11 | 26 DECEMBER 2020 Vedanta Newsdesk $5 TRILLION ECONOMY FOCUS ON POWER RACE FOR COVID-19 CURE THE 7-POINT PRESCRIPTION FOR A $5 TN ECONOMY India is on course to become a $5 trillion economy and the natural resources sector will play an important part in this journey. Vedanta has already taken the lead in building India’s self-reliance in natural resources. Weeks ahead of the Union Budget, Vedanta Resources Executive Chairman Anil Agarwal has laid out his blueprint on what Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman should focus on to accelerate economic growth for India. RESTART SHUT MINES Around 500 mines in the country are currently not operational due to various disputes and restarting them would be a big step towards achieving India’s target of becoming a $5 trillion economy. “India gets maximum revenues from the natural resources sector, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Let the production go on. Let the existing owners restart production and double the output. If the production is doubled, there is no question we will not have our $5 trillion target,” Mr Agarwal said. ACCELERATE DISINVESTMENT India needs to step up the pace of disinvestment. “Right now, one or two disinvestments are taking place in a year. We need to have at least 20 disinvestments in a year. The kind of wealth that will get created will be phenomenal,” Mr Agarwal said. Anil Agarwal, Chairman, Vedanta “Govt. has taken a bold step towards disinvestment. As the stock market is at an all-time high, the government should make the most of this opportunity to divest selected PSUs which can be turned around by private players.
