India economy showed a an enormous growth rate of 8.4% in the quarter 3 for the year 2024.
In the third quarter of FY24, India economy surpassed expectations, sprinting ahead at a remarkable 8.4% growth rate. What backs this growth? It’s a combination of two key factors: robust tax collections and efficient subsidy management.
The National Statistical Office (NSO) took a fresh look and revised the FY24 growth estimate upward to 7.6%. How did they do it? By making some adjustments based on the previous fiscal year (FY23).
India’s nominal GDP projection is at a whopping US$ 3.732 trillion. Impressive, right? This optimistic outlook sets the stage for the government’s ambitious goal: a revised fiscal deficit target of 5.8% of GDP for FY24.
What’s behind this surge? Despite a slight dip in farm output, the manufacturing and services sectors flexed their muscles, showing robust growth. Manufacturing even managed to maintain double-digit growth for two consecutive quarters.
Private consumption remained a bit sluggish while the government tightened its belt, leading to a contraction in government spending. Moreover, exports contributed well, showing positive growth.
In short, the sudden surge in India economy is because of proper fiscal management and strategic investment.
