Abstract	This investigation systematically analyses the role of non-physical capital specifically Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), Human Capital Transformation, and Geopolitical Risk Management in the realization of India's $30.0 trillion economic goal by 2047. Employing a Temporal Decomposition Analysis (TDA) across 5-year intervals, the study establishes that the critical challenge is not capital expenditure alone, but the generation of sustained Total Factor Productivity (TFP) gains, which must accelerate from ≈1.5% in 2025 to ≈3.5% by 2047. The paper demonstrates that DPI acts as the primary TFP multiplier, linking financial inclusion to macroeconomic scaling. Furthermore, it posits that active, phase-specific risk mitigation against external geopolitical shocks is essential to maintain the nominal 7.6% CAGR required for the ambitious trajectory, providing an indispensable framework for policy formulation directed toward national resilience.
