Indian companies can unlock $9.82 trillion in gross value added by 2035: Report
As per the PwC India study, one of the most significant domains contributing to the GVA calculus will be the 'Make' domain, which includes manufacturing and industrial production, among other sectors.
The report estimates that this domain alone will expand from $945 billion in 2023 to nearly $2.7 trillion in GVA by 2035.
The PwC India's report, 'Navigating the value shift', said mega trends such as climate change, demographic shifts and technological disruptions are creating new avenues for value creation that transcend traditional industry boundaries.
Amid this scenario, businesses are rapidly diversifying to capitalise on the evolving landscape.
'However, to navigate this transformation effectively, they require a fresh approach to identify where and how to diversify in order to seize value in motion. To support this need, PwC has developed a domain-based framework designed to guide strategic-decision making in this new era,' the report mentioned.
Domains represent markets where businesses go beyond traditional sector boundaries to address fundamental human and industrial needs.
'India CEOs are already responding to these shifts. In PwC's 28th 'Annual Global CEO Survey: India perspective', 40 per cent of India CEOs stated that their companies have entered at least one new sector in the past five years, with half of them generating up to 20% of their revenue from these new ventures,' said Sanjeev Krishan, Chairperson, PwC in India.
But to sustain momentum and unlock full value, businesses must move beyond ad hoc diversification.
'A domain-led lens that goes beyond the sector-led approach provides a powerful way to reimagine capabilities, collaborate across ecosystems, and build future-ready business and revenue models,' he mentioned.
With India's economy projected to reach $30 trillion by 2047, domain-based innovation could play a pivotal role in driving the nation's inclusive, sustainable and tech-powered growth.
'Consider another domain, 'how we build.' As technology continues to reshape the way we construct and manage built environments more efficiently, traditional sectors such as real estate, construction and building management are being complemented by innovation spaces,' the report noted.
These include smart, sustainable buildings; building tech and data solutions; and smart city infrastructure. Together, they represent a shift towards a more efficient, intelligent and integrated approach to the 'Build' domain.
On the other hand, the telecommunications sector illustrates a range of cross-domain possibilities. The value pools emerging in these new growth domains represent exciting growth opportunities, said the report.

Indian stock market: Sensex, Nifty 50 remain volatile ahead of trade deal uncertainty. Key technical levels to watch out
Indian stock market: Indian benchmark indices began Monday's session on a weak note amid uncertainty, following signals from U.S. officials about a delay in planned tariffs without providing specific details. At around 9:18 am, the BSE Sensex had fallen by 131 points, or 0.16%, to 83,301, while the Nifty50 was down 37 points, or 0.15%, at 25,425. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States is nearing the completion of multiple trade agreements, which are expected to be finalized in the next few days. He added that the U.S. will inform other nations of increased tariff rates by July 9, with the new rates set to take effect from August 1. " Concerns surrounding a US-India trade deal and the fallout of SEBI's report on Jane Street will be influencing market movements today. There are reports of a possible interim trade deal between US and India before the July 9th tariff deadline. If that happens, that would be a positive. The regulatory action on Jane Street and its implications will be closely watched by the market. The volume of derivative trading is likely to take a hit impacting stock exchanges and some brokerages. This has implications for their stock prices, too. The short-term issues are unlikely to have any long-term impact on the market. Short-term dips can be used by long-term investors to buy high quality stocks, preferably in fairly valued largecaps. Q1 results expectations are modest. So watch out for the outperformers," said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited. Last week, markets wrapped up the week on a positive note, even though trading remained largely rangebound. The Nifty settled at 25,461 with a gain of 55.7 points, while the Sensex rose by 193 points to close at 83,432. According to brokerage firm Choice Broking, the Nifty has resumed its upward trajectory after breaking out of its recent consolidation range. ' The index is currently in Wave 5 of an Elliott Impulse structure on the weekly chart, indicating a continuation of the bullish trend. As per Fibonacci extension, the next major upside targets are seen at 27,300 and 28,600. On the downside, key supports are placed at 25,000 and 24,500, where buying interest is likely to emerge,' the firm said. Support Levels: 25200-25000 Resistance Levels: 26000-26200 The Bank Nifty index ended the week at 57,031.90, down 0.72% compared to the previous week's close. While the weekly chart shows selling pressure at higher levels, the index has managed to stay above the important 57,000 level. The brokerage firm said that the Bank Nifty index is likely to face significant resistance in the 57,300–57,500 range. If the index continues to move higher, ICICIBANK from the private banking sector is expected to support the uptrend. Similarly, in the public sector banking space, SBIN and CANBK are anticipated to show strength. ' On the weekly timeframe, Bank Nifty is trading above all its key moving averages, including the short-term 20-day, medium-term 50-day, and long-term 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), indicating an overall upward trend. However, selling pressure at higher levels suggests that a consolidation phase is underway, with the index attempting to hold above the crucial 57,000 mark. Key downside support is seen in the 56,700–56,500 range. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 65.39, indicating a sideways move. This consolidation phase may lead to either a time-wise or price-wise correction as the index awaits fresh triggers for the next directional move,' it said.

China Launches Global Campaign To Discredit French Rafale Fighter Jets Following India-Pakistan Conflict
Following India's Operation Sindoor military action against Pakistan, China orchestrated a systematic campaign through its diplomatic network to damage the reputation of France's premier Rafale fighter aircraft, according to French intelligence sources. The operation involved Chinese defense attachés stationed at embassies worldwide actively working to discredit the combat effectiveness of these advanced military jets. French intelligence officials, speaking anonymously to the Associated Press, disclosed that Beijing instructed its diplomatic missions to question the Rafale's battlefield performance and discourage potential buyers from purchasing the aircraft. This coordinated effort aimed to undermine France's lucrative defense export business and weaken Paris's strategic partnerships, particularly in Asia where China seeks regional dominance. The disinformation campaign gained momentum after Pakistan's controversial claims regarding the four-day military engagement in May. Islamabad alleged it had successfully shot down five Indian Air Force aircraft, including three Rafale jets, during the conflict. India acknowledged suffering losses but has not disclosed specific details about the number or types of aircraft lost during Operation Sindoor. French Air Force Chief General Jerome Bellanger presented evidence suggesting only three Indian aircraft were lost: one Rafale, one Russian-manufactured Sukhoi, and one Mirage 2000 from an earlier French generation. If confirmed, this would mark the first combat loss of a Rafale fighter jet since its operational deployment. The Pakistani claims created significant challenges for France's defense industry, as existing and prospective Rafale customers began questioning the aircraft's combat capabilities. French intelligence identified this vulnerability and discovered that Chinese officials were actively exploiting these doubts to influence potential buyers away from the Rafale program. The Rafale fighter jet represents a cornerstone of French military exports and serves as a diplomatic tool for strengthening international relationships. Sales of these advanced aircraft generate substantial revenue for France's defense sector while enhancing the country's geopolitical influence, making them a strategic target for Chinese interference. Despite extensive intelligence gathering, French authorities have been unable to establish direct links between the disinformation campaign and Beijing's government. China has categorically rejected these accusations, with the Ministry of National Defense dismissing them as "groundless rumors and slander." Chinese officials maintain their commitment to responsible military export practices and claim to support regional stability. The revelation highlights the intersection of military technology, international arms sales, and information warfare in contemporary geopolitics. As nations increasingly compete for defense market share, the use of diplomatic channels to undermine competitors' products represents a new dimension of economic and strategic rivalry. France's allegations come amid broader concerns about Chinese influence operations and disinformation campaigns targeting Western military technologies and defense partnerships. The incident underscores the vulnerability of defense contractors to reputation-based attacks, particularly when their products face real or perceived battlefield setbacks. The situation continues to evolve as France works to counter the alleged disinformation while maintaining its position in the competitive global fighter jet market. The outcome may influence future defense procurement decisions and shape how nations approach military technology marketing in an era of increased information warfare.

Next step in development of Indian aviation should be bigger airports: IndiGo CEO
New Delhi: As IndiGo launches long haul flights to the United Kingdom (Manchester) and Europe (Amsterdam), Pieter Elbers, chief executive officer (CEO) of India's largest airline, says in an interaction that the next step in the development of Indian aviation should be not adding new airports but having bigger, better and smoother ones. Edited excerpts: The CEO said that aviation benefits from a level playing field and equal opportunity. (AFP photo) How do you see the domestic market developing for IndiGo as you already have 65% market share? Don't you think some of the routes are already at saturation level? I look at a key metric-- seats per capita -- and compare it with the US, Europe, or China. All of them have significantly higher numbers. Even China, despite its lower seats per capita, has four times more seats than India. Given that, and considering projections that the Indian market will double between 2023 and 2030, a compounded annual growth rate of 10-11% doesn't seem unrealistic. We've committed to doubling our fleet in the same period. Whether you look at seats per capita or GDP-related metrics, it all points in the same direction. Of course, we see seasonal fluctuations; for example, last May was muted due to heatwaves and elections. But I don't focus on monthly DGCA numbers; we are on a long-term mission. Past growth confirms the trend. So, the long-term outlook is robust. For us, market share is an outcome, not an objective. What is your game plan in terms of addressing the Indian market? We operate four types of services. We operate out of the metros. One could argue that our hub operations, connectivity and metros are a significant part of the GDP of the country and that is both metro-to-metro as well as metro-to-non metro. So that's one bucket: metro to metro. The second bucket is the metro to non-metro. I would say metro-to-metro (connectivity) probably there's already so many flights that growth will be somewhat slower than the average. Where we have seen a lot of growth is the metro to non-metro. The third one is non-metro to non-metro. So these are Tier-II/III cities and we'll connect them. And the fourth one is the regional connectivity scheme, which are these ATR connections. As a percentage, that's relatively limited, but in terms of giving wings to the nation, connecting smaller communities is there, we'll continue to focus on these four areas going forward. And, I would say, the largest growth we have seen is from the metro to non-metro areas. Do you see scope for further expanding your regional aircraft fleet? Well, that's a constant process of evaluation. Today we have 46-47 ATRs out of the order of 50, so it's almost totally consumed. Some routes that used to be operated by ATRs have now matured and can operate with A320s, which frees up some ATRs to do other routes. There's a certain set of airports which are ATR-only, and we're evaluating what could be the next step. Again, I think the Indian landscape in terms of the number of airports is evolving. Today, IndiGo operates 91 domestic airports. We have added four recently and will add another four this year, taking it to 95. Today, 90% of the Indian population lives within 100 kilometres of an IndiGo-served airport. Of course, 100 kilometres in a hilly area isn't the same as between two metros, but the coverage is still quite good. So I think the next step in Indian aviation development is not per se many more airports. It's perhaps bigger, better and smoother airports. So I think perhaps a lot of emphasis will be on increasing the capacity of existing airports. With international expansion enabling both better connectivity for Indian consumers and progress towards India becoming a global aviation hub, what policy changes would you like to see from the government, such as improved visa regimes or incentives for stopovers on Indian carriers to support this ambition? I would be hesitant about stopover regimes linked specifically to Indian carriers, as I wouldn't want reciprocal restrictions abroad. Aviation benefits from a level playing field and equal opportunity. I believe our product and costs enable us to compete with others. For India, the next step is improving transfer connection facilities. IndiGo has been on a premiumisation journey -- introducing Stretch class or the business class -- for the past 7-8 months. How has been the response to the offering in terms of occupancy domestically? I wouldn't call it a premiumisation journey, because that would suggest our entire product portfolio is moving in that direction and that's not what we're doing. We have a foundation with 130 destinations, 500 domestic routes, and 100 international. On top of that, we introduced the Stretch product on a selective number of routes. Unlike some US airlines that introduced premium products across the network, we have kept it limited. For us, it's about catering to a select group of Indian consumers aspiring for that product, and preparing for long-haul operations. The response is dynamic. Some days loads are very good, others are low. Customers aren't yet sure if a flight will have Stretch or not. The Indian market is extremely price-sensitive, with many bookings coming at the last moment.
