Indian economy did well in last two months, forecast of above-normal monsoon augurs well: NCAER

30 Apr 2024 Evaluate

Economic think tank National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) in its April 2024 issue of Monthly Economic Review (MER) said that the Indian economy has continued to do well in the last two months and forecast of an above-normal monsoon augurs well for the immediate future. NCAER said a range of high-frequency indicators reveal the resilience of the domestic economy with the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for manufacturing at a 16-year high and UPI, the leading digital payments system, touching the highest volume since its inception in 2016.

According to NCAER, Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections reached Rs 1.8 lakh crore in March, the second best since its rollout in 2017, while UPI recorded 13.4 billion transactions (in volume) in March 2024, the highest since its introduction, registering a growth of 55.3 per cent on a year-on-year basis. NCAER Director General Poonam Gupta said ‘These high frequency indicators, coupled with a more benign global outlook projected by the IMF and WTO bode well for the Indian economy during the current year’.

According to the report, Consumer Price Index (CPI) headline inflation was down to 4.9 per cent in March from 5.1 per cent in February while core inflation came down to 3.2 per cent during the same period. The report said employment indicators again showed mixed trends with an increase in the number of net new subscribers under the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) on a year-on-year basis. However, it added the overall online hiring activities as per the Naukri JobSpeak Index, moderated year-on-year.
