Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) V Anantha Nageswaran said that India has to be prepared to take advantage of the conducive global situations to grow at a faster pace to achieve the goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047. He attributed the slowdown in India’s economic growth to global factors. According to the Economic Survey, India needs to grow at 8 per cent for up to two decades to become a developed nation by 2047.
He said the current relative slowdown in the Indian economy should be seen in context and ‘India still remains the fastest growing large economy in the world’. He said whenever the global exports growth picks up, in those years, it contributes another 0.5 to 1 per cent additional growth, which will take it (India’s economic growth) to 7.5-8 per cent, and the agriculture sector itself can contribute one per cent of additional GDP growth.
According to him, Viksit Bharat’s growth rate with respect to the nominal GDP growth rate in dollar terms required is around 10 per cent. He noted that it is not something that is a mechanical number that is applied exactly year after year as the global conditions will influence it in some years positively and negatively in some. He said ‘We have to be prepared to take advantage of it in those conductive years while maintaining a certain minimum level of growth in those years when conditions are not favourable’.
