overview oF economy
Indian economy has weathered many challenges successfully in recent
times and is currently placed on a cyclical upturn, on the back of
strong policies and a whiff of new optimism. In the recent past, the
economy faced testing times with issues like lower growth, high levels
of inflation and widening current account deficit; escalated by an
unsupportive external environment. Growth is back, with its desirable
concomitants of mild inflation and manageable current account balance
with stable rupee and rising foreign exchange reserves, signaling
improvements in macro-economic stability. India is one of the very few
countries for which IMF and World Bank have raised their growth
assessment. The ongoing revival is remarkable against the fact that it
happened despite a highly tentative global economic conditions and a
below-par domestic agricultural season.
The year 2014-15 has witnessed key policy reforms, aimed at aiding
growth revival and surmounting the structural constraints in the
economy. The policy action has combined the needs of short term
economic management with focus on taming inflation and external sector
imbalances with a medium to long-term vision for transformation and
development, manifested in significant reforms aimed at rationalizing
administered pricing policies in petroleum and natural gas, stirring
infrastructure development and de-bottlenecking the economy with
initiatives to unshackle land acquisition for development (along with
rehabilitation requirements therein) and to ensure adequate
availability of key inputs like coal and power. The growth agenda of
the Government has been tethered to the revival of manufacturing,
unleashed in the "Make in India", initiative, accompanied by
liberalization of foreign direct investment, a large array of
investment facilitation measures and steps to improve saving.
