Industry body Assocham said that Indian economy is likely grow at 5.8 percent in the current fiscal on back of strong agricultural output, leading to robust rural demand and its multiplier effect on services and manufacturing sectors. Indian agriculture sector will likely get a boost from a strong monsoon and will grow at 5.5 percent in the current fiscal as against 1.7 percent in the previous fiscal.
By adding further, Assocham report said that although the share of agriculture in the country's gross domestic product (GDP) has gone down substantially to less than 14 percent over the years, however, it would put multiplier effect on economy through pushing expansion of activities in manufacturing and services. Establishing relationship between agriculture and industry, the industry body reported that each 1 percent additional growth in agriculture would result in 0.4 percent to 0.6 percent additional growth in industry.
At present, domestic economy is struggling with slowdown as its growth slowed down to four-year low at 4.4 percent in Q1 FY14. Further, country’s macro-economic indicators have also deteriorated with the current account deficit (CAD) widening to a record high of 4.9 percent of GDP in the first quarter of current fiscal. High CAD also remained main cause for the rupee depreciation, which had recently depreciated to a record low of over 68.50 against the US dollar in August.
