15 Jul 2013 Evaluate

A survey conducted by industry body Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has said that the acceleration of the economic reform process by the government will result in the economic growth of the country from the next fiscal. The survey further stated that the GDP growth for the current fiscal may cross 5.5% in the prevailing circumstances. The growth rate of the country slowed to 4.8% in the January-March quarter and fell to a decade low of 5% for the entire 2012-13 fiscal because of the poor performance of the sectors like farm, manufacturing and mining.

The CEOs' survey which was carried out amongst 75 national council members of the CII had majority of the respondents saying that a significant proportion of businesses are looking at capacity expansion in the current year. 44 percent of respondents have plans to increase their domestic investment in the current financial year, while 37 percent saw it increasing during the fiscal.

On measures required to revive growth, 52 percent of the respondents accorded their first priority to clearing 50 large projects worth more than Rs.1,000 crore and 200 large projects worth between Rs 250 and Rs1,000 crore within the next six months.

Around 24 percent of respondents favoured the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) intervention by way of cut in repo and CRR rates, while 17 percent of respondents called adherence to fiscal deficit target as their top policy priority.
