India Will Soon Be World's Third Largest Economy: PM Modi In Ghana
Accra: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that over the past decade, India has seen a major transformation across the spectrum, and on the foundations of stable polity and good governance, the country will soon be the world's third-largest economy. During his historic Parliament address here, PM Modi said India already contributes nearly 16 per cent to global growth. "Today, India is the fastest growing emerging economy. On the foundations of stable polity and good governance, India will soon be the third largest economy," the Prime Minister told the esteemed house. PM Modi further stated that India's demography is paying its dividend. "India now has the world's third largest start-up ecosystem. India is an innovation and technology hub, where global companies want to converge," said PM Modi in his address. "We are recognised as the Pharmacy of the world. Indian women today lead in science, space, aviation and sports. India landed on the Moon. And, today an Indian is in orbit giving wings to our human space flight mission," he added. The Prime Minister further stated that people of India have resolved to make India a Developed Nation by 2047, when "we celebrate 100 years of Independence". "As Ghana continues to pursue the path of progress and prosperity, India shall walk with you, shoulder to shoulder, on this road," he commented. In 2015, New Delhi hosted the India-Africa Summit. "President John Mahama was one of our esteemed guests. In 2017, India hosted the annual meeting of the African Development Bank. We have expanded our diplomatic presence to 46 countries across Africa," said PM Modi. Over 200 projects across the continent enhance connectivity, infrastructure and industrial capacity. Every year, the India-Africa Business conclave generates new opportunities. "In Ghana, we inaugurated the Tema - Mpakadan rail line last year. It is the largest infrastructure project in this part of the African region. We welcome Ghana's own efforts to accelerate economic integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area. Ghana also holds great potential to become an IT and innovation hub in the region. Together, we will shape a future, full of promise and progress," the Prime Minister emphasised. Earlier, PM Modi was conferred The Officer of the Order of the Star of Ghana, the country's highest civilian honour, by President Mahama. PM Modi thanked Ghana's President for the honour and called it a "matter of immense pride".

CBG plant at Brahmapuram to be inaugurated by July-end
The Kochi Corporation's compressed biogas (CBG) plant at Brahmapuram will be inaugurated by the end of July. The progress of the project came up for discussion at the regional review meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in Kottayam on Thursday (July 3, 2025). The trial run at the plant is currently under way. A tripartite agreement between the Kochi Corporation, the State government, and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), Kochi Refinery, has already been signed to operate the CBG plant, according to an official communication. The meeting observed that the commissioning of the 150-tonne plant, with a capacity to produce 15 tonnes of biogas would resolve the waste management crisis faced by Kochi to a great extent. The gas would be supplied to BPCL through a pipeline. Bio-bins have been deployed in all local bodies in Ernakulam district. Bio-mining at various centres is under way and will be completed in a time-bound manner. 'The CBG plant is intended to serve as a model, similar to the one in Indore. Initially, it will have the capacity to treat 75 tonnes of biodegradable waste per day, which will later be increased to 150 tonnes. While the proposed plant is expected to cater to the waste management needs of neighbouring local bodies in the future, in its initial phase, it will treat waste generated within the Kochi Corporation limits. At present, the Corporation generates over 150 tonnes of waste per day,' the communication said. Besides, a black soldier fly-based waste treatment unit with the capacity to process 100 tonnes of waste per day is also operational at Brahmapuram. Fabbco Biocycle Private Limited, a company that produces bio-manure by treating biodegradable waste using black soldier flies (BSF), exported 80 tonnes earlier this month to a Dubai-based company engaged in sustainable vertical farming, and another 75 tonnes to the local Kerala market. Exports have slowed with the onset of the monsoon due to increased moisture content. The company has since modified its machinery to reduce moisture in the biomanure and to ensure it remains in compliance with international standards in order to further boost its export potential, according to the authorities.
