State of the Indian Economy - CUTS Thought Leadership Event at Jaipur

Jaipur 21st November, 2010. It is well established that Indian economy has gained strengths over the last two decades. The economy has grown at an impressive pace during this period, even during the crisis period of 2007 to 2009. This sustained growth has put India in a better position to consolidate and further sustain the growth momentum as compared to other economies of the world. There are clear pointers to indicate that in the current year 2010-11, the economy will grow by about nine percent, following impressive growth in the manufacturing and services sectors, current slowdown in industrial production notwithstanding.
