Lack of requisite infrastructure hurting India's growth potential: Moody's

25 Apr 2013 Evaluate

In view of Indian economy growing only by around 5 percent in the FY13, global rating agency Moody's has said that India's infrastructure shortages have hurt its growth potential as well as the competitiveness of its export and import-competing sectors, contributing to its trade and current account deficits.

Moody’s, in its report has  said that infrastructure shortages are a constraint on India's Baa3 sovereign rating, which indicates investment grade, with a stable outlook. Further, it added that India's recent reforms do not address all the regulatory, financial and pricing constraints on infrastructure investment. 

However, on the positive side, the rating agency has said that the country could attract private investments in the sector over the next 12-18 months despite slowdown in growth, as the demand for infrastructure remains strong and the interest rates are declining. Moreover, to spur infrastructure growth, the government has set-up the Cabinet Committee on Investment (CCI) to accord fast track clearances to mega projects. India's medium term demand for infrastructure remains robust despite the recent slowdown in GDP growth, it added. 

The government has identified the development of infrastructure as a most critical prerequisite to boost the economy’s growth. The pace of development in the infrastructure sector lingers to a great extent on the investments made and timely execution of the projects. For the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17), the government has set the $1-trillion investment target for the infrastructure sector.
