29 Apr 2013 Evaluate

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), an industry managed organization that works to create and sustain an environment conducive to the industrial development in India, has proposed for a 0.50 per cent cut in lending rates from the Reserve Bank in its monetary policy review which is on May 3, in order to boost domestic investments.

The CII President Kris Gopalakrishnan has said that there is a possibility of a rate cut and that the RBI must consider a 50 basis points cut and then a 100 basis points cut over the next fiscal. While, setting the agenda for current fiscal as accelerating economic growth through innovation, transformation, inclusion and governance, the CII President said that Indian economy could achieve 6.5 per cent growth this fiscal and could go up to a level of 8-9 per cent in next two to three years. Further, the economic growth will also address issues, including job creation, current account deficit (CAD). 

India's economic growth rate is estimated to slip to a decade's low of 5 percent in FY13, pulled down by poor performance of manufacturing, agriculture and services sectors.
