Good news has come for the Indian economy. Strong domestic demand will revive the Indian economy and Indian GDP will grow at the rate of 6.5 to 6.8 percent in the current financial year. At the same time, in the next financial year (2025-26), the growth rate of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will be slightly higher i.e. between 6.7 to 7.3 percent. Deloitte India has made this estimate. Deloitte India economist Rumki Majumdar said growth in the first half of fiscal year 2024-25 was lower than expected as domestic demand and exports were hit by heavy rains and geopolitical developments following the elections. He said, however, there are some areas in which India is showing considerable combative capability. These include consumption trends or growth of services, increasing share of high-value manufacturing in exports and capital markets.
Government’s emphasis on infrastructure development
Deloitte said continued infrastructure development by the government, focus on digitization and measures to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) will improve overall efficiency thereby boosting growth. Majumdar said that we remain cautiously optimistic and expect the growth rate in the current financial year to be between 6.5 to 6.8 percent. In the next financial year it will be between 6.7 to 7.3 percent. Earlier this month, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had reduced its growth forecast for the current financial year to 6.6 per cent. In June, RBI had estimated the growth rate to be 7.2 percent.
Due to this reason Indian economy is in good condition
Deloitte said manufacturing exports in high-value segments such as electronics, semiconductors and chemicals reflect India’s increasingly strong position in the global value chain. Meanwhile, local capital markets have witnessed stability due to increased participation from retail and domestic institutional investors. However, in the last two and a half months, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have made huge sales in the Indian stock markets. Let us tell you that due to poor performance of manufacturing and mining sectors, the country’s economic growth rate had fallen to a two-year low of 5.4 percent in the July-September quarter of the current financial year. However, India remains the fastest growing major economy in the world. The country’s gross domestic product (GDP) had registered a growth of 8.1 percent in the same period a year ago. Whereas in the quarter of April-June, 2024 it was 6.7 percent.
