India will aim to become a developed nation within 25 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a national day address, with policies to support domestic production in power, defence and digital technology.
Wearing a flowing, cream-coloured turban printed in the colours of the Indian flag, Modi on Monday addressed the country from New Delhi’s 17th-century Mughal-era Red Fort to mark the 75th anniversary of India’s independence from British rule.
