Electricity consumption growth is a good metric to confirm economic growth.

 

[Kabira]

Fake growth rate does that.

Pakistan should help Modi stay in power.

So what ??? I'm expecting the GDP to slip well below 5% and the growth to pick after Q3FY20. Afterall the valuations of almost all top companies are too high, the corrections in both markets and economy was imminent and inevitable.

It's a tiny think tank which does not rank in even the top 30 think tanks in USA.
It was a sonewhat god thinktank but has been on continous decline since 2011.
So nobody important cares what they think

Rather than questioning the ranking of the author is you can challenge the numbers he presented with some facts then your argiment can hold some ground otherwise its garbage. By the way how is the unemployment data ?

That's not a convincing reply I guess. There is an economic slowdown and that is a fact very well acknowledged by our FM publicly. And it's not just this Think Tank, almost all major rating agencies across the globe who cover Indian economy as well as the World bank and IMF had re-rated our economy. So I guess those who really matter does care about all these developments.

We are not in any Panic mode right now. There is enough surplus with most LargCap and MidCap companies. It's just that the economic activities have just slowed down and I think it's cyclic. Every few years this should happen so that the weak hands get out and only competitive businesses flourish. The end result should be encouraging.

That’s the game - market is a gamble, but I’m talking more than just India, for me US market dropping matters more being based here.

I'm unsatisfied with the way the current government is handling it TBH.

They seem to be more focused on other non critical issues such as NRC, their response on various economic indicators has been tepid or deflective.

Hopefully the current measures will help pick up this slump.

And arrogant.

Lawyers did handle better than resident economists.

U.S GDP have been always less than 6%, (3.8% average to be precise) for the last 200 Years. Yet see where they are now ??

Compared to that if any country is able to consistently maintain a GDP growth rate above 5% for half a century or more will be handsomely rewarded I guess. And I don't think India's growth rate will nose dive too drastically so easily and even if that happen, it won't stay there for long. Our population is our blessing in disguise. We were and are always a consumption story.

What we are seeing for sometime now is our bad governance. Under any bad governance India will grow at a rate of 4% plus and under a better/good governance we have a chance to grow above 10% plus.
