Budget opportunity to arrest growth deceleration

India aspires to be a developed country by 2047. According to NITI Aayog's projection, India's gross domestic product (GDP) will reach $30 trillion by that year, assuming an annual real GDP growth rate of over 9%. However, the economy's rate of growth is pegged significantly low at 6.4% in 2024-25 as compared to 8.2% in 2023-24, which will be a four-year low. India cannot afford a deceleration in growth rate as it would cast a shadow on the dream of becoming a developed economy. Poor performance in the manufacturing, mining, major service sectors and sluggish investment have been the main factors responsible for the deceleration.
