At the 5th Kautilya Economic Conclave, PK Mishra, the Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister of India, addressed the country's current economic trajectory. Mishra highlighted that India has managed to keep its growth rates high even while the global economy faces significant instability and volatility.

During his remarks, Mishra focused on the concept of economic resilience. He noted that while India’s performance has been robust, achieving such stability is not without its challenges. He explicitly stated that maintaining this level of resilience "also costs," suggesting that there are trade-offs or necessary investments required to insulate the domestic economy from international pressures. The conference, which brings together policymakers and economists, served as the platform for these comments regarding the government's economic strategy. While the official emphasized the positive growth metrics, he acknowledged the complexities involved in sustaining these gains in a shifting global landscape.
