Pining hopes on the recent policy measures taken by the government to revive growth, the Planning Commission’s Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said, ‘by October, we should be able to say (whether) these steps have had some impact. If we cannot say by October that we have done a lot through this monitoring and by taking corrective steps, then there is need to worry.’
According to the data released by the government, economic growth in India has fallen down to a nine-year low of 6.5% during 2011-12 while the manufacturing sector growth slumped to 5.3% during the January-March quarter of last financial year. On the other hand, industrial production growth fell 0.1% in the first month of new financial year as compared to 5.3% in the previous year around the same time.
By adding further Ahluwalia said, the Commission has been monitoring the performance of seven core infrastructure sectors including road, power and aviation, and would send a report for April-June quarter to the Prime Minister by July 20. The commission will also try to solve the discrepancy and will bring into notice of the Prime Minister’s office for further action.
