As Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third term gains momentum, the Government of India has aggressively pursued its Amrit Kaal vision — an agenda aimed at transforming India into a developed nation by 2047. From infrastructure megaprojects and economic reforms to social welfare campaigns and strategic global engagements, 2025 has been a year of high-impact governance and policy delivery.
One of the standout features of Modi’s third term has been the scale and speed of infrastructure development. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that the Union Cabinet has approved infrastructure projects worth nearly ₹5 lakh crore during this term alone, covering airports, national highways, ports, and railways. Air Connectivity: Major airport development projects at Bagdogra, Bihta, Varanasi, and Kota with a combined investment of ₹7,339 crore aim to enhance regional connectivity.
- Ports & Maritime: A new major port at Vadhavan (Maharashtra) and maritime reforms with investments exceeding ₹1,45,945 crore are underway to boost India’s shipping capacity and logistics efficiency.
- Highways & Roads: The highways sector leads with projects worth ₹1,97,644 crore, including eight national high-speed road corridors and strategic border infrastructure.
- Railways: Approval of 43 new railway projects spanning nearly 5,869 km with an investment of ₹1,52,583 crore is set to improve freight and passenger mobility nationwide.
- In October 2025, the Prime Minister also inaugurated infrastructure projects worth ₹31,850 crore in Maharashtra, notably the first phase of the ₹19,650 crore Navi Mumbai International Airport and the second phase of Mumbai Metro Line 3.
- Urban Transformation: Metro and Mass Transit Growth
The government continued to expand urban mobility networks with approvals for three new Delhi Metro corridors worth ₹12,015 crore, adding about 16 km and taking the overall network past 400 km. These corridors are expected to serve hundreds of thousands of daily commuters while reducing pollution and congestion.
Agriculture remains a priority in 2025, with the government launching two major farm schemes worth about ₹35,440 crore. These programs focus on improving productivity in low-performing districts, enhancing irrigation and storage facilities, and promoting crop diversification. The government has set ambitious targets — encouraging farmers to expand pulses cultivation to 350 lakh tonnes by 2030–31, up from 252.38 lakh tonnes currently.
Alongside, multiple agriculture and allied sector projects — including fish feed plants, cold chains, and livestock infrastructure — were inaugurated and laid with foundation stones across states, reflecting a holistic push for rural prosperity.
Marking his 75th birthday in September 2025, Prime Minister Modi launched Sewa Pakhwada, a nationwide campaign emphasising health, nutrition, and social outreach. The initiative included:
- Over 1 lakh daily health camps across government facilities.
- Expansion of maternal and child health services with tools like the Suman Sakhi Chatbot and distribution of millions of screening cards.
- A massive PM MITRA Park integrated hub in Dhar with investments exceeding ₹23,140 crore, expected to generate about 3 lakh jobs. This campaign reinforced the government’s focus on preventive healthcare, women’s empowerment, tribal development, and rural livelihoods.
In 2025, the government unveiled Mission Sudarshan Chakra, a defence modernisation programme aimed at strengthening India’s defence capabilities with indigenous research, development, and production under the Atmanirbhar Bharat framework. The mission focuses on advanced weapon systems, cyber capabilities, and precision strike technologies to deter evolving security threats.
On the diplomatic front, India continued to expand its global footprint. In December 2025, India concluded a Free Trade Agreement with New Zealand, aimed at doubling bilateral trade by eliminating tariffs on most goods and opening avenues for significant investment flows.
In 2025, under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership in his third term, the government has aggressively pursued infrastructure build-out, agricultural reforms, health and social welfare outreach, and strategic global partnerships. With precise execution, bold investments and an ambitious vision, India’s trajectory toward economic resilience and global stature appears stronger than ever before.
