​Growth chill: On the economy

The Hindu  

The National Statistics Office has confirmed emerging fears about the economy’s evidently sluggish trajectory through this year in its first Gross Domestic Product estimates for 2024-25. While the election-focused first quarter hit public capital spending, the second quarter was marred by weak demand and still underwhelming public capex, dragging GDP growth to a seven-quarter low of 5.4%. The NSO’s projection of gross fixed capital formation growth slipping to 6.4% this year from 9% in 2023-24 indicates that private capex — that is contingent on domestic and global demand — remains weak while public capex goals are unlikely to be met. The Union Budget 2025-26 needs to move from incremental tinkering to tailoring reforms and fiscal actions that can bring India’s growth back to the 7% mark, if not 8%, at the earliest.
