Speed of India's Economic Recovery a 'Pleasant Surprise': Niti Aayog Vice Chairman

News 18  

Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar on Friday termed the speed of India’s economic recovery as a “pleasant surprise” and said manufacturing shows a positive growth that confirms a rebound. India’s economy recovered faster than expected in the September quarter as a pick-up in manufacturing helped GDP clock a lower contraction of 7.5 per cent and held out hopes for further improvement on better consumer demand. The gross domestic product had contracted by a record 23.9 per cent in the first quarter of the 2020-21 fiscal as the coronavirus lockdown pummelled economic activity. Manufacturing clocked a surprise 0.6 per cent growth in July-September after it had shrunk by a massive 39 per cent in the preceding quarter.
