Rupee lows & global shocks: Can India grow without losing stability? A must-read #exclusive conversation between Dr Sharma @mahimawrites @Indiastats at: indiastat.com/Socio-Economic… @InfomericsR @RBI @NITIAayog @FinMinIndia #IndiaEconomy #RBI #EconomicReforms #InflationVsGrowth

#WATCH | Delhi | Chief Economist at Infomerics Ratings, Manoranjan Sharma, says, "India is expected to grow by 7.4% in FY26. These are impressive numbers. If you place things in a historical and comparative perspective, we find that the global economy is growing by about 2.2%. The advanced economy is growing by about 0.5%. Even in the emerging markets group, India has become an outperformer... This places India in a strong position in terms of nominal GDP. India is likely to achieve 8% growth, and these impressive numbers also provide a strong basis for the Union Budget... This growth rests on five strong pillars: sustained public capital expenditure in infrastructure, transport, and energy; resilient domestic consumption, especially urban demand, which has been impelled by significant relief in direct taxes and, more recently, indirect taxes, as GST rates were slashed. The number of slabs was reduced. So all that gave a significant boost to domestic consumption. The services sector continues to do well, particularly in IT, finance and tourism. There's also strong macroeconomic stability, controlled inflation, and a manageable fiscal deficit. These drivers are real, but their strength and spontaneity need to be constantly monitored to strengthen India's position in the Committee of Nations." (07.01)

Delhi: Chief Economist Manoranjan Sharma says, "The Prime Minister has announced 2025 as a year of landmark reforms. We are moving rapidly on the reform express. There have been several significant reforms focused on reducing structural overheads in taxation, labour, and governance to sustain a high-growth economy. India has been consistently growing at around 8%..."

#WATCH | Delhi | On Repo Rate cut by 25 basis points to 5.25%, Chief Economist, Infomerics Ratings Manoranjan Sharma says, "Most structures of the market had expected that given the lowest rates of inflation for quite several years, a 25 basis point cut was on. Today, the RBI has reduced the repo rate by 25 basis points from 5.5% to 5.25%. There has been a reduction of about 100 basis points in the repo rate in the last year or so. This has been transmitted to the ultimate beneficiaries, the borrowers. RBI's own calculations show that there has been monetary transmission of about 63-65 basis points across all scheduled commercial banks. So, going forward, this policy will also have a welcome effect... Banks are likely to tweak their policies. Lending rates will go down further, which will help industrialists... However, deposit interest rates on deposits will also take a hit, and depositors could lose out... India is on course for steady growth of well over 7.2% at a time when there are global uncertainties, various geopolitical issues and several other issues like the US tariff. So India is poised to do consistently very well..."

Delhi: Chief Economist at Infomerics Ratings, Manoranjan Sharma says, "We have always believed that with GST cuts and the festival season purchases, along with the various income tax reliefs, there would be a positive impact on the economy.

VIDEO | Delhi: Infomerics Ratings chief economist Manoranjan Sharma on GST reforms, says, "This is a very positive development. Now, there are only two tax slabs and most goods fall in the slab of five per cent or 18 per cent but apart from that we also continue with a 'sin tax' - that applies mainly to applies to high-end cars and some tobacco products." #GSTReforms #GSTCouncil (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)

VIDEO | Delhi: Manoranjan Sharma, chief economist, Infomerics Ratings, on India's GDP growing stronger than expected to 5-quarter high of 7.8 per cent in April-June, says, "With this kind of a growth, India consolidates its position as one of the fastest growing economies of the world with 17 per cent of incremental global growth coming from India. All the three sectors of the economy have done well. Agriculture, in this quarter, grew by 3.7 per cent as against 1.5 per cent last year. Industry grew by 7.5 per cent and services grew by 9.3 per cent as 6.8 per cent last year. India is on course of becoming $ 20.7 trillion economy by 2030 and $ 34.2 trillion economy by 2038." #GDP (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)

#WATCH | Delhi: Dr Manoranjan Sharma, Chief Economist, Infomerics Ratings, says, "This evening, President Donald Trump has imposed additional tariffs on India to the extent of 25%, taking the total tariff level to 50%. This will severely hit sectors such as drugs and pharmaceuticals, textiles, electricals and electronics, gems and jewellery. So this is certainly a reason for us in India to be concerned, but no reason for us to be alarmed. It is essential to remember that India, unlike China, is largely a domestically driven economy...We have weathered many storms in the past, like the global financial crisis of October 2008 or even the COVID-19 pandemic. So we are confident this will cause some hit but will be able to weather this shock confidently."
