Version 0.31 (2024-05-25 23:54:12.300000)

updates: The Finance Ministry is banking on stronger external support for domestic manufacturing in the upcoming months and greater focus by an increasing number of organisations in the US and Europe on enhancing supply chain resilience to benefit India’s manufacturing firms as part of the China Plus One strategy. The ministry expresses optimism over the Indian economy closing FY24 strongly with its growth surpassing market expectations. Early indications and emerging robust trends in important high-frequency indicators of growth suggest a continuation of the economic momentum during the first quarter of FY25. The GST collection recorded a 12.4% year-on-year growth driven by strong increase in domestic transactions of 13.4% and imports of 8.3%, jumping to a high of Rs 2.1 lakh crore in April 2024. India’s transportation sector has seen a significant increase in activity recently, with a 15% increase in domestic air passengers in March 2024, rail freight traffic also increased by 4.9% year-on-year, vehicle registration went up by 27% year-on-year to 2.2 million in April 2024, and fuel usage in April 2024 increased by 6.1% year-on-year, totalling over 19.9 million tonnes. Fixed investment is gathering pace on the back of the focus of the Government on capital spending and the resultant crowing in of private investment. Consumption is being propelled by consistent growth in urban demand and a resurgence in rural demand. Despite global challenges, India’s foreign exchange reserves are comfortable, and the Indian rupee has been one of the most resilient vis-à-vis the US dollar in recent months. India witnessed a net outflow of foreign portfolio investments of USD 1.8 billion in April 2024. The rupee depreciated marginally by 0.11% between 1 April 2024 and 15 May 2024. The Finance Ministry expects the macro-economic buffers nurtured and strengthened during the post-Covid management of the economy to help the Indian economy navigate these challenges reasonably smoothly.
