Expressing optimism over the growth of Indian economy, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary has said that the country will become a $5 trillion economy early in the ‘Amrit Kaal’ on the path to achieve the goal of becoming an advanced economy by 2047. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected India to become a $5 trillion economy with the third largest GDP in 2027-28. Chaudhary noted that the $5 trillion milestone will be crossed with the help of a strong rupee which will result from macroeconomic stability.
At the end of 2022-23, the Indian GDP stood at $3.7 trillion. In 2010-11, India’s GDP jumped to $1.71 trillion, and further increased to $2.67 trillion in 2020-21. Minister of State for Finance said the exchange rate is not an overlooked factor as it ranks India’s GDP size in the world. He said ‘India is a market economy, and the government monitors economic progress through market-determined GDP and exchange rate’. He further said both domestic and international markets are the mechanisms that determine India’s GDP, exchange rate and contribution of various sectors to GDP. Contribution of agriculture, industry and services to nominal GDP in 2022-23 stood at 18.4 per cent, 28.3 per cent, and 53.3 per cent, respectively.
He added the government also contributes to economic progress through policy interventions, including the measures announced in annual budgets. Major initiatives taken by the government in the last 9 years for directly increasing the GDP include, implementation of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy (IBC) Code, recapitalisation of public sector banks, rollout of Goods and Services Tax (GST), reduction in corporate tax, boost in effective capital expenditure, introduction of Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme in 14 sectors, continuous liberalisation of the FDI regime, and building of digital infrastructure.
