In 2019 the Indian Prime Minister aimed to achieve a 5 trillion dollar economy by

The correct answer is B) 2024-25. In 2019, soon after his second term began, Prime Minister Narendra Modi set the goal of taking India to a five trillion dollar economy by 2024-25. The core concept here is the government's stated growth target, not a forecast by the IMF or the World Bank.

Why the others are wrong:

• A) 2022-23 is too early. It was never the official horizon set in 2019.
• C) 2026-27 and D) 2029-30 are later dates that some commentators mentioned as growth slowed, but they were not the government's 2019 target.

The deadline has since been questioned. GDP growth slowed after 2019, and the economy is still short of five trillion dollars in the latest estimates, so the target is widely seen as at risk. For Mains, this links to GS-III on growth strategy, investment, and the reforms meant to close the gap.

Trap: aspirants pick a year they remember from a later projection or confuse the target with other dates. Anchor the figure to the 2019 announcement and the 2024-25 horizon.
