Expressing optimism over India’s economic growth, Niti Aayog Vice-Chairman Rajiv Kumar has said that the country’s economy is likely to grow by more than 10 per cent in the current fiscal (FY22) supported by a record kharif crop and bright rabi prospects. He added that this will boost rural demand and spur the revival in the manufacturing sector with improving capacity utilization. Though, he cautioned that inflation is emerging as a key risk to sustainable global economic recovery with supply chain constraints and rising energy prices.
According to Kumar, significant increase in exports will also boost economic growth and employment generation. He said ‘gradual pickup in contact-intensive services sector is further likely to support the growth momentum. India achieved the landmark milestone of administering 1 billion Covid-19 vaccine doses on 21 October’. He also noted that the rapid vaccination drive across the country will ensure that the risk of future wave is minimised.
The Niti Aayog Vice-Chairman pointed out that India sustained its pace of economic recovery in September 2021 as reflected by acceleration in manufacturing PMI at 53.7 (52.3 in August 2021) offset by a modest deceleration in services PMI at 55.2 (56.7 in August 2021). He said ‘Other key high frequency indicators -- power consumption, railway freight, GST collections, e-way bills, etc. -- also show continued pickup in economic activity’.
