Indian Economy’s Growth Dependent Upon Relaxation In Restrictions

The second wave of COVID-19 will definitely impact the economy , however, its still capable enough to achieve the world’s fastest pace of growth among major economies this year. The growth of the economy was commendable in the January-March quarter from the previous three months. 

As per economists, the improvement in the economy is directly proportional to the relaxation of restrictions imposed in the country along with the willingness of consumers to spend their money.

As per the median forecast for April-June, the economic growth is 21.6%, which is lesser than the  estimate a month earlier of 23%. Additionally, the fiscal year of March 2022 will see a decline to 9.8% from the previous 10.4%.
