India’s economy is expected to grow by 10.5 per cent or more in this fiscal as the purchasing managers’ index (PMI) for both manufacturing and services have shown a very smart uptick last month, according to Niti Aayog vice chairman Rajiv Kumar, who recently told a virtual conference of the Public Affairs Forum of India (PAFI) that modernisation of the retail sector is on the cards.
“We need to double our share of global trade… and for that we might need better market access,” he was quoted as saying by a news agency.
