Exactly what I was thinking. With population not slowing down anytime soon, what are the next steps?

> what are the next steps?

I'd say huge investments in improving things like infrastructure (roads, water, sewage, electricity), quality of housing, etc. China has a lot of experience in this regard with huge, admittedly failed projects of building entire cities from scratch (failed because nobody actually lives there).

Build it and they will come.

What? India has a TFR of 2.01. Population growth is over.

Population growth isn't quite over because people also live longer than before. But yeah the days of rapid growth are quite gone.
