Government think-tank NITI Aayog is planning to focus on steps crucial to push India’s economic growth, promote e-mobility as well as ensure expeditious implementation of the Modi government’s reform measures in the year 2019. NITI Aayog vice chairman Rajiv Kumar said “India will grow at around 7.8% in the next calendar year and investment cycle that has already started picking up will gather further strength and we will see more private investments.”

Kumar expressed hopes that liquidity crunch which has been effecting non-banking financial company (NBFC) sector would also be addressed and the credit allocation capacity of banks under the Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) would be enhanced. He noted that all of that will contribute to strengthening the investment cycle. He also said that many economic reforms undertaken by the Modi government has laid the foundation for high growth and the low inflation and the time is now to focus on their implementation.

NITI Aayog vice chairman further assured that some more policy reforms may be announced in the sectors such as e-mobility or in reducing import-dependency in energy sector and development of the North East region. He also pointed that “the first time you are getting 7.5% growth, with hardly any inflation. That makes it a very strong macro fundamental. That is the basis for achieving 9% growth by 2022-23.”
