About 60 per cent of the business leaders surveyed were of the view that
Indian gross domestic product (GDP) will grow at 6.5 per cent during
2023-24, said Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP (DTTILLP).
In
a pre-budget survey by DTTILLP, industry leaders said amongst the
industry sectors, chemicals, capital goods and energy would log high
growth.
They also said government initiatives, such as
Atmanirbhar Bharat, production linked incentive (PLI), and favourable
monetary policies by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI - to moderate retail
inflation and maintain significant forex), increased spending on
infrastructure, and research and innovation, will further this momentum.
According
to the survey, the pace of capital expenditure, infrastructure
development and the need to boost infrastructure financing through
private partnership are important for economic growth.
Sixty per cent of respondents suggested raising funds through Indian Government Bonds, DTTILLP said.
Fifty-eight
per cent respondents suggest that public-private partnership (PPP)
should be encouraged to meet the funding gap and address issues that
deter private participation, while bringing in innovative structures
such as credit guarantee enhancement.
As global uncertainties and
an economic slowdown loom across geographies, tax-related changes are
expected to boost industry growth and are the most sought-after measures
from the upcoming Union Budget, DTTILLP said.
An overwhelming
majority of respondents see trade treaties as vehicles for increasing
investment flows and providing exchange of emerging technologies to
strengthen their role in global value chains (GVCs).
"Despite
global uncertainties, the Indian economy has been resilient and is well
on its way to a growth rate of 7 per cent. With the vision of attaining a
$5 trillion economy, the government has adopted a focussed approach
towards ease of doing business and enhancing industrial growth,
generating employment, and increasing investments. Union Budget 2023-24
holds great expectations from the industry to continue this momentum and
lead the country towards economic prosperity," Sanjay Kumar, Partner,
DTTILLP said.
