In continuation with the reform measures taken by the government to boost the economic growth of the nation, Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council Chairman C Rangarajan affirmed that the government is prepared to take aggressive policy actions, despite these actions are treated as apolitical and unpopular. He pointed out that recent decisions to raise diesel prices and allow FDI in multi-brand retail have helped to reverse the adverse investment sentiment and has also acted as a stimulant for further accelerating the economic activity.
The government had raised the diesel price by a steep Rs 5 per litre and capped the number of subsidized cooking gas cylinder to six per household a year. He also remarked that the decisions to expand FDI in insurance and pension sectors will take time to fructify. Rangarajan remained confident to achieve financial growth in the range of 6 to 6.5 percent, for the current fiscal year.
Though, International Monetary Fund has recently forecasted India's GDP growth to 4.9% in 2012. He also urged focus on those sectors which are in the public domain and for which public expenditure have already been allocated in budget, so as to trigger the economy. India’s inflation rate has surged to 7.81% in September from previous month’s 7.55%. The Reserve Bank is likely to come out with its policy by October 30.
