Need to cut imports, revive infra investment to restore economy’s growth: Assocham

25 Nov 2013 Evaluate

As per the industry body Assocham, government measures such as slashing imports, augmenting exports and reviving investment in key infrastructure sectors by offering them tax breaks will help to boost Indian economic growth to over 7 percent. Assocham added that besides giving a boost to economic expansion, these measures will also help to enhance supply of goods and services, thereby taming high inflation. The government should implement these measures before the end of current fiscal, it added. 

Regarding the infrastructure development, the industry has said that the government should revive investment into key infrastructure sectors such as power, road and port by offering them tax breaks. Assocham recommended exemption from levy of MAT (minimum alternate tax) on the profits earned by infra projects to encourage investments. Delighted over the recently set up the Cabinet Committee on Investments (CCI), which has cleared around 100 mega infrastructure projects, the Assocham suggested setting up a body at the state level on the lines of the CCI at the Centre.

Further, the industry body also expressed need to cut current account deficit (CAD) by reducing imports of gold by setting up a Gold Bank adding that the government or the RBI can set up Gold Bank which can procure and retain gold abroad through offshore foreign currency borrowings, linked to Libor rate.

At present, Indian economy is struggling with downturn and its growth has slowed down to four-year low at 4.4 percent in April-June quarter, 2013 mainly due to declining consumption and investment demand. Further, all macro-economic indicators have deteriorated with current account deficit (CAD) widening to a record high of 4.9 per cent of GDP in the April-June quarter, 2013 and rupee value has also depreciated over 15 percent against dollar in 2013, which has become a cause of concern for the country, as India is structurally an import intensive country.
