RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das sees India moving ahead towards an 8 per cent GDP growth trajectory on a sustained basis, driven by structural economic reforms such as GST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you look at the average growth India recorded over the three years, the average comes to 8.3 per cent and the current year we have given a projection of 7.2 per cent growth,\u201d Das said at the 188th AGM (Annual General Meeting) of Bombay Chamber of Commerce & Industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India\u2019s growth momentum remains strong and could improve further in the coming months. The country was on a path to achieving 8 per cent growth on a sustained basis, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RBI Governor also said there was clear evidence of private sector capital expenditure having picked up momentum, which should help growth further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also highlighted India\u2019s contribution to global growth amid the worldwide economic slowdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Indian economy in the last financial year 2023-24 contributed to 18.5 per cent of the global growth, i.e., 18.5 per cent of the global growth was driven by India. It is an achievement as it was much lower 7 or 8 years ago and I think the IMF projects this growth to go up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that the major drivers of this growth are the implementation of GST, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, and Flexible Inflation Targeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGST has the advantage of avoiding the multiplicity of taxes. It is one of India\u2019s biggest structural reforms since 1947,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GST collections have touched 1.7 lakh crore in a month and it is in a range of 1.5 to 1.7 lakh crore every month, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also highlighted the fact that India is poised to become the third-largest economy in the world from its current position as the fifth-largest. AGENCIES<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
