India needs to grow at 7-8% annually to become developed nation by 2047: C Rangarajan

14 Feb 2024 Evaluate

In order to become a developed nation with $13000 per capita income by 2047, former Reserve Bank Governor C Rangarajan has said India needs to grow at seven to eight per cent annually. Asserting that innovation cannot be a single solution to reduce inequalities or poverty, Rangarajan who is also the former Chairman of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council said besides faster growth rate, the country may need social safety nets such as subsidies in kind of cash and basic income.

He added ‘I would say that the real growth between 7 per cent and 8 per cent will take it closer to the developed economy, because the developed economy by definition shows per capita income of $13,000 or more. India's per capita income is now at $2700. That means per capita income will have to increase by five times’. 

According to him, if the exchange rate is kept at a lower level or if the prices go up then nominal income will increase, then India can become a developed nation. He added ‘Therefore, I am saying that the calculation of dollar value of the Indian economy depends upon the real growth, the level of inflation and exchange rate’.
