Even as the global economy stumbles over sticky inflation, high public debt and high interest rates, the Indian economy looks to be in a sweeter spot. According to RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, the Indian economy grew at 7.6% in 2023-24, its third straight year of 7% plus GDP growth. This year the economy is expected to grow at 7% with the manufacturing sector showing sustained expansion in February and March and well as the services sector witnessing overall buoyancy. A normal monsoon also means recovery in rural demand. The external sector is also looking up which could mean a recovery for Indian exporters.
