  • The economy consolidated its post-COVID recovery, demonstrating resilience against geopolitical challenges.

  • Foreign exchange reserves are substantial.
  • Public investment sustained capital formation, while the private sector increased investment following a decline in FY21.
  • Non-financial private-sector capital formation expanded significantly in FY22 and FY23.
  • Investment in machinery and equipment rebounded after two consecutive years of decline (FY20 and FY21).
  • The banking sector needs to decrease the timeframe between NPAs and avoid short-term profits at the cost of customers. Mis-selling is prevalent in several financial services segments. Reasonable claim settlements and reduced rejection rates in the insurance sector are needed to boost market penetration.
  • Higher demand due to employment and income growth benefits corporates.

Challenges and Opportunities

  • Maintaining growth amidst global trade, investment and climate agreement challenges.
  • Domestic strategies are important for growth sustainability.
  • Ensuring a skilled and healthy working-age population is necessary for gainful employment.
  • Unhealthy food consumption habits are causing environmental and public health concerns. Indian traditional lifestyles offer sustainable alternatives. Businesses need to embrace them.

Emulating other countries' policies may not be feasible or desirable.
  • The country has made notable progress in economic growth, poverty reduction, and human development.

Conclusion

  • Economic transformation in democratic India is a success story, despite flaws.
