Expressing hopes that Indian economy will pick up pace in coming quarters, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia is expecting a better economic growth in current year, as compared to last year’s 5 percent growth. India’s growth rate declined to 5 percent, a decade low, in 2012-13 on account of global economic slowdown as well as domestic factors. Ahluwalia said that the nation is expected to see a normal growth process as euro zone will move towards positive growth by 2014.
By adding further he said the country is likely to grow, if not 8 percent then the best is at something about 7 percent, however, the 8 percent is also achievable as it is a long term projection. Though, there has been no change in official estimates of economic growth projection for 2013-14 so far, which was 6.5 percent factored by Finance Minister while presenting budget.
The government in its efforts formed the Cabinet Committee of Investment (CCI) to tackle the domestic supply side problems which are impacting Indian economy.
Earlier in April this year, Ahluwalia had said that India can grow by 6.5 percent in the current fiscal during which big projects are likely to get clearances from CCI and the decision to set up CCI would have a big impact on the economic growth in the current fiscal. He added that nation’s economy will begin to see the turnaround in coming two - three quarters as the government has taken a number of measures recently to revive investment, including the setting up of CCI.
