New Delhi, June 30 (IANS) Driven by sound fundamentals and a resilient economy, Indian firms in nine sectors could collectively generate between $588 billion and $738 billion in revenues by 2030, according to a new report.

In the electric vehicle (EV) sector, revenues are expected increase six-fold to eight-fold to touch $40–60 billion by the end of the decade.

In the space sector, revenues are expected to rise fourfold to fivefold by 2030, according to the report.

Despite an uncertain and challenging global economic backdrop, the Indian economy remains a key driver of global growth, underpinned by sound macroeconomic fundamentals and prudent macroeconomic policies, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

The domestic financial system is exhibiting resilience fortified by healthy balance sheets of banks and non-banks, said the Central Bank. Financial conditions have eased supported by accommodative monetary policy and low volatility in financial markets. The strength of the corporate balance sheets also lends support to overall macroeconomic stability.
