Confident over the improving macro-economic indicators of the country, Plan panel Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said that the worst is probably over for Indian economy and the growth would be better in the second half of this fiscal. Ahluwalia said that the domestic economy has bottomed out as the better than expected core industrial sector in September has revealed some sign of growth recovery. Indian economy’s growth slowed down drastically to a decade low of 5 percent last fiscal after recording an average of nearly 8 percent over the last nine fiscals.
Indian macroeconomic data has started showing signs of improvement with core sector growth at 11 months high of 8% in September against 3.7% growth in the previous month. Further, the government has also asserted that country’s deficits will be contained within the target limits. The government has set target to contain the CAD at 3.7 percent and fiscal deficit at 4.8 percent of GDP in the current financial year.
However, Ahluwalia has expressed concerns over the rising inflation saying that present situation of the country on inflation front is not comfortable. As per Ahluwalia, it is difficult to make balance between boosting growth and taming inflation. The WPI inflation accelerated to 7-month high of 6.46% in the month of September on y-o-y basis as against 6.10% in August and 8.07% during the corresponding month of the previous year.
