India’s success in checking the spread of COVID-19 infections and a strong vaccination drive could drive the gross domestic product (GDP) in the second quarter of this fiscal (Q2 FY22) to 8.1 per cent and the FY22 GDP growth in the range of 9.3-9.6 per cent, according to the projection made by this week’s Ecowrap, a report by the State Bank of India’s (SBI) economic research department.The Q2 FY22 gross value added (GVA) is estimated at 7.1 per cent. At an annual rate of 9.3-9.6 per cent, India’s real GDP growth could now be 1.5-1.7 per cent higher than the pre-pandemic level of FY20, it points out.
“India remained unscathed in Q3 from the global situation, which is marred by supply disruptions, stubborn inflation and surges of infections during Q3 2021,” the analysis said.
