According to World Bank's latest report, India's extreme poverty has fallen from 27.6% to just under 2.6%.
And for Indians living under Rs. 400 a day (lower middle income), it has come down from 57.7% of the population to 16.1%.
Remarkable achievement by India given the rupee depreciated and the inflationary pressure of a fast growing economy.

Toolkit lied that Indian Economy is Collapsing.
Now World Bank Admits that in India, extreme poverty (below $3 per day income) has come down to 2.5% from 27% in 2011, while 49.6 crore people were brought out of Poverty.
PM @narendramodi made it happen

According to latest World Bank report, India's inequality has registered the sharpest decline in the last 5 years in history. It was already declining faster in the previous 5 years.
A Gini index of 23.5 in 2026 makes India one of the low inequality countries in the world. That's the gap between rich and poor in consumption.
For example, China's inequality is 36, United States 42, Most G7 and G20 countries are in the 40s to 50s.

Heartiest congratulations to Captain Smit Machchhar on being conferred the prestigious Order of Zayed II (First Class) by the UAE.
His extraordinary bravery in averting a mid-air tragedy stands as a resounding testament to the valour, skill and calm professionalism of Indian aviation. A true hero and an inspiration to us all!

History of self is important to natives.
Those who consider themselves foreign will naturally look outside for validation.

To Bloomberg, with love from India.
I plotted India's trade in finished phones. In 2014, we imported $7.43B and exported $0.56B. In 2025, imports were down to $0.66B while exports reached $30.15B.
Finished-phone imports fell about 91%. We now make phones here for Indian buyers and sell them overseas. That is a substantial change in where the manufacturing happens.
Bloomberg says taxpayers are "probably" paying over $1 in subsidies for every additional dollar going to workers. Where is the calculation? And even if that ratio holds, why should additional wages be the whole test of what India gained?
Source: UN Comtrade, India-reported trade, calendar years. HS 851712 through 2021; HS 851713 + 851714 thereafter. 2025 preview data may be revised. Graph compiled by me.

Mobile PLI stats as follows:
Government incentive paid: Rs 19,000 Cr.
Direct tax collected: Rs 25,000 Cr.
GST collected: Rs 3,00,000 Cr.
Electronics manufacturing employs 25 Lakh people; mobile manufacturing alone employs 12 Lakh.
Cope harder!!
One in four iPhones is made in India, but imported parts and costly subsidies complicate the success story. @andymukherjee70 takes apart an iPhone to explain why copying China's manufacturing model may not pay off 🎥

in spite of me retweeting it.
Amazon gives 42 percent discount, more than the author gets.
It's only Rs 262 at present.
If you plan to get it, now is the best time.
