Reaching $20 trillion in the next decade would require the economy to expand roughly 5.5 times and sustain nominal dollar growth of about 18% a year, significantly above its historical trend of around 10-11%, the brokerage said, according to news agency ANI.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>Services need to drive India&#8217;s next phase of growth<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Equirus said the composition of India&#8217;s growth would be as important as its pace, with services expected to become the main engine of expansion.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Services currently account for about 54% of GDP and would need to contribute more than 65% as India moves towards the $20 trillion milestone. The sector&#8217;s economic output would have to increase from roughly $2 trillion to more than $11 trillion, the report estimated.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Manufacturing, meanwhile, could face constraints from a more protectionist global trade environment, while agriculture&#8217;s share of GDP is expected to decline as urbanisation accelerates.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>India has already recorded a sharp acceleration in its economic expansion. It took the country 67 years after independence to build its first $2 trillion economy, while the economy nearly doubled during the decade after 2014.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>20 reforms target taxes, capital markets and human capital<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>The proposed reform package spans the real economy, capital markets, human capital, services and urban governance.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Among the measures suggested by Equirus are bringing fuel under the GST regime, setting minimum capital-expenditure floors for states, listing the Railways, creating an Indian sovereign fund, expanding private education capacity and reviving private-sector research and development.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>The report also calls for deeper corporate bond markets and measures to reduce tax-related working-capital pressures.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>It estimates that abolishing advance tax could release around Rs 10 trillion of working capital, while moving to a flat 5% TDS could unlock another Rs 13.4 trillion.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>The reforms are intended not only to increase economic activity but also to improve the efficiency with which capital is deployed across the economy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>GCCs, tourism seen as major growth opportunities<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>The report puts particular emphasis on India&#8217;s services economy, including global capability centres (GCCs).<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>A proposed National GCC policy could increase the number of GCCs in India from more than 1,800 to 5,000, potentially generating an economic impact of $470-600 billion and creating 20-25 million jobs, Equirus estimated.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>Tourism is another area identified as having significant potential. Greater promotion of the sector could potentially add around $21 billion a year in foreign exchange receipts, the brokerage said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/>Overall, Equirus estimates that its reform package could generate about Rs 7.9 trillion in annual direct gains, against costs of roughly Rs 3.4 trillion. This would result in an estimated net annual gain of Rs 4.5 trillion.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/>The report cautioned that reaching $20 trillion would ultimately depend on execution across several areas rather than any single policy measure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/>Sustaining rapid growth while improving the rupee&#8217;s external value and expanding high-productivity services would be central to India&#8217;s ability to meet the 2036 target.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
