Motivated by higher than expected GDP number in the fourth quarter of 2022-23, Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) V Anantha Nageswaran has said India’s economic growth may exceed the initial estimate of 6.5 per cent in the current fiscal (FY24) and the country can look for another year of solid economic performance.
The real GDP growth for 2022-23 is higher compared to the growth projections by various international agencies, reflecting the strong resilience of the Indian economy. India’s economy grew by 6.1 per cent in the January-March quarter of 2022-23, pushing the annual growth rate to 7.2 per cent on account of better performance by agriculture, manufacturing, mining and construction sectors.
He said India was the fastest-growing major economy over the last fiscal and in the quarter ending March 2023 as well. He added growth in the year was driven by robust private consumption and a sustained increase in capital formation. In the latest monthly economic report released in the third week of May, he said ‘We did say that, while in the economic survey, we mentioned that 6.5 per cent was our target or an estimate of the real GDP growth for this financial year but we also mentioned that the risks to the downside were higher.’
