India needs $4.7 trillion investments over next 5 years for 7% economic growth: CII

08 Sep 2014 Evaluate

According to the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), India needs $4.7 trillion investment over next five years in order to achieve an average gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 7% per annum. The CII study suggested that $4.7 trillion is nearly double the sum of $2.9 trillion that was invested in the previous such period and thus monetary, fiscal, trade and other relevant policies should be realigned to help the economy mobilize the required investments.    

The CII projected industrial sector’s growth at 6.3% over the next 5 years up from 5.2% in the previous corresponding period, for which a cumulative investment of Rs 146 lakh crore is required. Industry body noted that Rs 98 lakh crore of the total required investments is to be invested in manufacturing alone as the sector needs to accelerate its growth and create mass employment to absorb the rapidly growing population of job seekers. If manufacturing sector is able to meet the desired investment target, it should automatically lead to greater attractiveness of services sector. The CII estimates the services sector to grow at an average of nearly 8% per annum, same growth as in the previous five-year period and it requires an investment of Rs 98 lakh crore. There is also a vast unexploited potential in areas such as health, education, trade, financial services and tourism and it has become imperative to adopt appropriate policy interventions to provide impetus to these sectors.

Referring to agriculture sector, the CII projected an average growth of 4% per annum for agriculture sector over the next 5 years, requiring a total investment of Rs 36 lakh crore.  The industry body expects infrastructure investments to go up to Rs 64.3 lakh crore ($1,071 billion) during 2014-15 to 2018-19 period from around Rs 24 lakh crore in XI plan period in line with the Planning Commission’s projection of around $1 trillion during the 12th Plan period. Around 40 per cent of the total investment in infrastructure should come from private sector. CII further noted that private sector continued to face multifarious challenges in infrastructure making the task of raising nearly half of investment from private sector quite difficult.
