The Indian economy has the potential to grow by 8-9% for the next several years, observed Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia. Ahluwalia opined that if India is able to channelize its investments into infrastructure and address its supply side constraints, it could well be on the 8-9% growth trajectory.
The growth prospects of an economy also depend upon the global environment in which operates. This for India is currently fragile because of the euro zone crisis and the US recession. Since these two happen to be major export markets for India, it has to be conceded that the growth in exports will also be slow for while.
Moreover although India is attracting foreign investments, these have come in late. Hence accumulative investment is still lacking. However if we can channelize our efforts into developing the domestic infrastructure and take care of the supply side constraints, we could achieve a good growth rate, observed Ahluwalia.
The Indian economy grew at the rate 7% in the last fiscal. Though it is lesser than the earlier growth rates, it is still high considering the global crisis. The Finance Minister, in the recently concluded budget has projected a growth rate of 7.6% for the next fiscal even though no specific measures to address supply side constraints have been announced by him.
