The government celebrated Narendra Modi’s 12 years as India’s longest-serving prime minister on Wednesday. These included tax changes, a push for digitalisation, making it easier for businesses to operate, and progress toward achieving the fastest-growing economy.
Jawaharlal Nehru held the record for the most days as prime minister, which was 4,398. Modi beat that mark.
A booklet released by the Center at the event said that income taxes have declined over the past 12 years, reflecting the government’s vision of Ramrajya. It also said that reforms like GST, faceless tax, and Digital India have helped build trust in the public system, which will help India become a USD 5 trillion economy.
More money has been invested in roads, hospitals, infrastructure, and other projects that will help India’s future because taxpayers are more confident.
India has gone from being one of the Fragile Five economies to having the Fastest Growing Economy. In 2013, India had one of the five weakest economies in the world. However, the report said that strong changes had totally changed the situation around.
A lot of changes to the tax system
Taxation was one of the most important areas of change that the government introduced. The government said it was working to make the tax system easier to understand, more transparent, and technology based.
The Goods and Services Tax was seen as a major change because it eliminated several indirect taxes and unified the national market. The government said that GST made cross state business easier and that digital methods made it easier for people to pay their taxes.
Officials also discussed changes to direct taxes, including measures intended to make paying taxes easier for people and to encourage voluntary compliance. The government’s main goal has been to use technology to simplify tax management, reduce paperwork and make it easier for individuals and businesses to file their taxes.
The government said that these changes have helped India move toward a tax system based on trust while also making it easier to get money.

Investors became more confident
The government’s review of its 12 years in office focused on the rise in investor trust as a main theme. Indian officials said that changes to taxes, the ease of doing business, building up infrastructure and digital government have all made the country an appealing place to spend.
The government talked about how business rules are getting better and how they are trying to make policymaking more open. Officials say that being able to predict policy changes has led both local and foreign businesses to put more money into the country.
Recent policy changes meant to bring in foreign capital were also used as examples of how committed the government is to making India’s business environment stronger. The government said these steps are meant to boost market trust and ensure the economy stays stable in the long run.
Representatives from the government said that rising involvement in areas like industry, infrastructure, technology and financial services shows that investors trust the country.
Changes to digital technology and making it easier to do business
An official document released on Wednesday talked about the successes of the government’s digital push. It said that the price of 1 GB of data dropped from Rs 269 in 2014 to around Rs 8–10, which led more people in rural areas to use the internet and gave them access to new opportunities.
Since 2014, the number of internet users in the country has more than quadrupled. By December 2025, there will be 103 crore people online, up from about 25 crore in 2014. At the same time, the number of internet links has grown from 6 crore to nearly 100 crore, a 17-fold increase.

Pay attention to growth and future progress
As the government celebrated 12 years of Prime Minister Modi’s rule, it also laid out its plans for the future. The government made it clear that changes would continue to speed up growth, create jobs, and strengthen India’s position in the global economy.
The government said that in the coming years, the top goals would still be building infrastructure, expanding industry, developing new technologies, and making rules even easier to understand.
Government leaders said that the progress made so far reflects the results of long term planning and sustained policy changes. They said that India’s economic growth was driven by combined efforts across many areas, along with strong government and decisions geared toward change.
The government also reiterated its commitment to improving the business environment and ensuring that economic growth remains sustainable and benefits everyone. Officials were sure that India would be able to reach its long term growth goals, draw more investment, and become more competitive if it kept up its changes.
As Prime Minister Modi marks the end of his 12th year in office, the government has made tax changes, economic modernisation, and building investor trust the most important parts of its track record. People are still arguing about the effects of different policies, but the government says that its reform plan has set the country up for future growth and made it more competitive in the global economy.
