Indian economy will be more modest for a significant time of the following year. “As of now, the current Indian GDP is not exactly USD 3 trillion economy.
The current more substantial level of expansion doesn’t involve genuine concern. Critical to shield the poor from an increase in fundamental wares. On the off chance that this needs to leap to USD 5 trillion every four years, the economy needs to become higher than 13% per annum, by and large,” he said.
Trillion Economy
It is profoundly improbable that India will turn into a USD 5 trillion economy by 2024-25 because of the log jam brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, University of Massachusetts teacher Vamsi Vakulabharanam has said.
Besides, the Indian economy will be more modest for a significant time of the following year contrasted with its size in 2019, Vakulabharanam told PTI in a meeting.

The Prime Minister’s Plan
In 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi imagined making India a USD 5 trillion economy and worldwide force to be reckoned with by 2024-25.
“Indeed, even in the best of situations, this is profoundly impossible,” Vakulabharanam, co-chief, Asian Political Economy Program at University of Massachusetts Amherst (USA) said.

Asked what monetary measures are essential to help families in trouble, he said they have two fundamental requirements: least means and available medical care.
“In the wake of this remarkable emergency in the Indian economy, the public authority ought to have taken up intense measures to help the helpless families on both these checks,” Vakulabharanam said.
He said the current more elevated level of swelling doesn’t involve genuine worry for the economy on high expansion.
“Since a large part of the swelling is emerging from supply log jams and lower limit usage, boosting total interest should be the fundamental worry of the public authority,” he said.
He also added that if this prompts an ascent in expansion in the short run, that ought not to stress the public authority.
Vakulabharanam, in any case, noticed that shield the poor from swelling in fundamental wares, so the public authority ought to embrace proactive measures to guarantee that the poor are not harmed for the time being.
It is highly unlikely that India will become a USD 5 trillion economy by 2024-25 due to the slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, University of Massachusetts professor Vamsi Vakulabharanam has said. Moreover, Indian economy will be smaller for a considerable period of next year compared to its size in 2019, Vakulabharanam told PTI in an interview.
