Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian, highlighting India’s economic strength has said that the country’s inflation is totally under control and is also within the target of the Reserve Bank of India and not at 2 or 1 per cent or so. He further stated that India’s inflation had come down and is not at the levels of the US and China. The Reserve Bank has targeted an inflation level of 5.8 per cent by January 2016, lower from its earlier projection of 6 per cent.
The retail inflation for the month of October, surging for the third straight month, rose 5 percent, from a 4.41% in September and 4.62 percent in October last year, on the back of costlier pulses and other food items. Higher demand for consumer durables and food items during the festival season beginning in October also contributed to inflation.
Subramanian however said that the India needs to boost its growth with public spending and as well as private investment. In the budget it was announced that the private investment is going to be weak due to legacy issues and hence India need to work to have a growth. He further added that 'Not just by boosting government consumption, but actually by increasing public investment because that will crowd in private investment. And also, it is related to the Make in India supply side'.
