RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das recently stated that the rural demand in the Indian economy has shown signs of improvement, with private consumption and investments expanding in the latest quarter’s GDP numbers. Speaking at FIBAC 2024, an annual banking conference in Mumbai, Das highlighted that data from FMCG companies indicates a revival in rural demand. Private consumption, which accounts for around 56 per cent of aggregate demand, has grown at a rate of 7.4 per cent, bouncing back from a meager 4 per cent growth in the previous year. This reaffirms the recovery of rural demand in the country.

Despite the GDP numbers in the first quarter showing a growth rate of 6.7 per cent, Das pointed out that the fundamental growth drivers of the Indian economy are gaining momentum rather than slowing down. He expressed confidence in India’s growth story and noted that private consumption and investment, two key drivers of growth, have shown substantial improvement in recent times. With private consumption accounting for 56 per cent and investment for 35 per cent of GDP, both have exhibited strong growth rates, aligning with the current momentum in the economy.

Governor Das emphasized that over 90 per cent of GDP has expanded robustly, well above 7 per cent, indicating a healthy growth trajectory for the economy. He highlighted that the slight slowdown in GDP numbers to 6.7 per cent in the first quarter can be attributed to reduced government spending during the elections and Model Code of Conduct. Das also shared data from the RBI indicating a strong credit flow to agriculture, industries, and MSMEs, urging the private sector to increase investments in their businesses to further drive growth.

On the inflation front, Das mentioned that with the monsoon progress and healthy kharif sowing, there is an expectation of food inflation becoming more favorable in the coming months. However, he cautioned that vigilance is necessary to monitor the forces impacting inflation. The governor added that the balance between inflation and growth is currently well poised, and maintaining price stability is crucial for sustained economic growth. Overall, the financial sector has shown robust health, and India’s journey towards becoming an advanced economy is bolstered by factors such as a dynamic population, diverse economy, democracy, and a tradition of entrepreneurship and innovation.

In conclusion, Governor Shaktikanta Das’s remarks at the banking conference in Mumbai underscore the positive developments in the Indian economy, particularly in rural demand, private consumption, and investments. The data indicates a solid foundation for growth, with key drivers like private consumption and investment showing strong performance. While the GDP numbers may show a slight slowdown, the overall outlook remains optimistic, with the balance between inflation and growth well poised. With a focus on maintaining price stability and encouraging private sector investments, India is well-positioned for further economic growth and advancement towards becoming an advanced economy.
