Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar expects India’s economy to grow by at least 7.5 % in 2018-19 on the back of improvement in investment cycle and capacity utilisation.
“The economic environment is extremely positive and optimistic. The investment cycle has certainly turned upwards. The capacity utilisation has risen to 74 %. The inflation is still well under the target
The government should now concentrate on consolidating the reform initiatives undertaken in the last 47 months, he added.
“Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is increasing and I expect the rate of growth to be at least 7.5 % in 2018-19,” Kumar said.
The economy is expected to grow at 6.6 % in 2017-18.
On the reforms that the government should take in the next one year, Kumar said,”The government has taken so many reforms and so many initiatives that I think it is now time to consolidate rather than plan for new initiatives.”
