Addressing the 188th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das on Tuesday highlighted India’s promising economic trajectory, projecting a robust growth rate of 7.2% for the upcoming fiscal year.Governor Das emphasized that India stands on the verge of a significant transformation in its growth path, underpinned by strong macroeconomic fundamentals and strategic policy initiatives. He noted that while the projected growth rate is optimistic, several external and domestic factors could pose challenges.

Governor Das believes that GST, along with other structural reforms, has significantly contributed to India’s economic resilience and growth. “These reforms have created a more conducive environment for investment and innovation, driving sustainable growth and development,” he added. “Additionally, the implementation of GST has enhanced revenue collection for the government, providing more resources for public investment in infrastructure and social sectors.”Moreover, Das pointed out that the formalization of the economy through GST has increased accountability and reduced tax evasion, further strengthening the fiscal health of the country. “As we continue to build on these foundational changes, our policy framework remains focused on fostering long-term stability and growth,” he reportedly quoted as saying.

On the inflation front, he emphasized at 4 percent inflation, our economy will be far better placed, our financial system will be far better placed our growth drivers will be able to sustain themselves.Das said lower inflation is also beneficial to the farmer

Policymakers always grapple with the dilemma of balancing out between multiple objectives, and keeping the agricultural produce prices low to serve the consumers while depressing the farmers’ incomes is one such conundrum, Das said. “Let us also remember, that the farmer is also a consumer. Apart from wheat, he buys so many other things for his day to day living. It is also in the interest of farmers to have a low inflation,” he said.
