Chief economic advisor calls out the paradox of India’s private sector investing abroad amid global uncertainties
Live MintNew Delhi: The government’s chief economic advisor V. Anantha Nageswaran called on the private sector that’s been ramping up investments in overseas markets despite global uncertainties to also pour money into a country that’s outperforming several major economies: India. India’s statistics ministry on Friday, presenting its second advance estimates for 2024-25, marginally raised its India GDP growth estimate to 6.5% from the 6.4% pace projected in its first advance estimates in January. India’s presents “a very good economic case” for the private sector to ramp up investments in the country given its strong growth prospects, Nageswaran said at a briefing after the statistics ministry reported its second advance estimates. “So I think there is a case, a very good economic case, for the private sector in India to ramp up its capital formation so that the rate of capital formation to GDP rises from 30% towards the mid-30s.” ‘7.6% growth in March quarter not unrealistic’ The statistics ministry also raised its provisional growth estimate for 2023-24 to 9.2% from 8.3% projected in the first revised estimates. Almost 75% have been expended as of end of January, which is the same as the number or slightly lower than the amount spent in the last financial year.” The Maha Kumbh Mela effect Nageswaran said that after the initial slow start to India’s economic growth in FY25 because of the national election held between April and June last year, the Union government’s capital expenditure had picked up steam.
