India’s chief economic adviser calls for deregulation to spur growth

Live Mint  

New Delhi: India’s chief economic adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran emphasised the need for several measures including deregulation and a focus on key structural reforms after the country’s economic growth slowed for a second consecutive quarter. Nageswaran attributed the slowdown in India’s GDP growth during the second quarter to a combination of global factors, including excess manufacturing capacity in other regions and import dumping in India. “Urban demand slowdown could have been influenced by factors like reduced footfalls due to monsoon activity and the observance of religious events.” Addressing a press conference after the release of the GDP data for second quarter, Nageswaran said geopolitical risks, particularly surrounding the US presidential election, intensified during the quarter, further contributing to economic uncertainties. India’s economic growth slowed by 270 basis points year-on-year to 5.4% in the second quarter of FY25, slightly below the 6.5% forecasted by a Mint poll of economists.
