Recently, the finance ministry of India said that it is possible for India to move into double-digit growth and even become the fastest growing economy in the world within next four years given the growing productivity of Indian workers and large working age population. But in practice, overtaking China would require fundamental changes in the way India does business. Creaking or nonexistent infrastructure and cumbersome government bureaucracy are drags on businesses large and small.

And few think the bureaucratic and political hindrances that make it hard to execute even the best-laid plans will be removed anytime soon. The constraint lies in procedural issues, land acquisition and the capacity of even private participants to execute those projects without delays. For that to change, it's not entirely clear what a budget or change in policies can bring about. Many people are saying that to sustain growth in the long-run, the nation must do a better job of enriching millions of people at bottom of the heap.

So, I would like to ask the users in this platform can India become world's fastest growing economy?

Higher levels of business investment in the past decade have raised profits and wages and in turn produced a large pool of corporate and household savings that was unimaginable in India 10 years ago. The productive capacity of the economy has gone up. So it can be easily said, if this rate continues, very soon India will become the fastest growing economy

Unless rural incomes rise, India could face a bottleneck in domestic demand. 60% of our population is still working in agriculture. Even the corporate sector is now saying that for growth what we require is growth at the bottom because that's our market. We have to as a country, as we mature, move away from the budget being a list of give aways to something more holistic. We need to take a lot of procedures and approvals. We need to take the right land, import the machines, train the people. It will take a long time.

India will grow despite corruption, lack of vision in the govt, divisions. These exist in all countries from US to Nigeria. But Indians with their efforts, saving habits and education will progress. Yes it can be better and faster without these undesirable factors - but that's asking for Utopia.

INDIA HAS GOT EVERYTHING THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE DEVELOPED NATION AND IN THE PROCESS IT HAS TO BECOME THE FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY.

IT HAS BEEN ATTRACTING MANY FORIEGN PLAYERS AND THE INDIAN ENTERPRENEURS HAVE BEEN BECOMING MORE AGGRESIVE AND AQUIRING MANY COMPANIES IN THE FORIEGN SOIL AND ONCE THE FUNDS START FOLLOWING BACK AND WILL EFFECTIVELY BE REINVESTED IN PART IN THE INDIAN MARKET AND WILL INTURN INFLUENCE THE LIQUIDITY, CASH FLOW AND THE RISK TAKING ABILITY.

Yes, India can become the world’s Fastest Growing economy but still there are some obstacles which can hinder the path of this growing economy

1)      The Rural areas where still the majority of the population lives below poverty lines.

2)      Rich is becoming richer and poor is becoming poorer. Some step has to be taken this side to minimize this gap

3)      As in India, Agriculture is predominant, so certain major reforms are needed to boost this.

4)      There are so many areas which are untouched like infrastructure , fertilizer industries, R &D etc where recently only government has taken some initiatives.

5)      Establish some more small scale industries and encourage Entrepreneurship for more Employment

6)      Invite some veteran industrialist and assign them with some major public tasks as the government recently did for UID project by appointing Mr. Nandan Nilekani.

These are the few points where India still needs attention and some major reforms are needed. But the way India handled this Recession it’s really appreciable

here is need to undertake serious policy initiatives to reach the government's target of sustained 4 percent growth in this sector.”

The survey also expressed concern over rising prices, especially in essential items that has pushed the country's annual food inflation, based on wholesale prices, to nearly 18 percent in recent weeks.

yes. India can become world's fastest economy.

ON wednesday, 10th march 2009, NSE, announced that it would soon approach the Sebi and regulators for permission to launch future contracts on S&P 500 index, one of the world's most watched indices. This will enable the indian investors to have an exposure to US, HongKong Markets. this step is definitely towards making our economy world's fastest growing economy.

Because you asked Can it? I have to yes it can? but if you ask will India become the fastest growing economy? It depends on following 3 things

1) How fast we are completing issuance of UID
2) Implementation of Power Reforms
3) Broadband penetration (in both rural and urban areas

Our growth will be directly proportional to the pace at which above three reforms are made.

Dear readers, Jai Hind!!!

Yes, Our India can become world's fastest growing economy....but the thing is that, that would be what people see India from outside not inside. Internally India is still the same - very poor corporate governance, govt. organisation policies are still the same and people recruited in these organisations also become like that. poor infrastructure in tier-2, tier-3 cities and so on...,  power problems, water problems, road problems, and other basic problems still persists...still the rich is getting rich day by day and poor is still poor....dont know why the govt. is not abolishing 'quota system'. where is the equality???? there are many other issues that should be taken care of...then may be after 10-15 years our India can become world's fastest growing economy "fully".

I belong to a very small city so i know the problems and issues that we face in our daily life...but people living in tier-1 cities, metros etc. may not support my views... but the reality is India is still not ready....not a problem...still hoping for that "1 day " to come.....

 

Thanks & regards

Yes, If we are serious about the growth of economy but there are lots of areas where we have to give attention. Lack of electricity(Load Shadding), Correption. In rural area there are no health, education, electricity, Telephone connection. We are only looking towards the metro cities but what about other Indian cities & rural area. We have to look towards the all area of our country. Red tapisam is big obstacle for growing of economy. Make easy process for economy matters. If anybody want to set up business in India he have to face lots of trouble for getting licences. Single window system is necessary.

Because our parameters of growth are not right. whenever our GDP grows we ore Govt says we r growing. which is not right. we are coparing it with per capita income growth, Inflation, black money, distribution of income, payment of debts. these all things are also things are equal important while talk about the growth.

Having been born and raised in the "biggest economy" in the world...and having worked a large percentage of my life in developing nations...I ask with complete sincerity...without any sense of bitterness, envy or fear...just what is the illusion about being the "biggest" or "fastest" growing economy in the world? Given the facts of our common existence on this planet...that is, in terms of diminishing resources, population growth and environmental contamination...should it not instead be the responsibility of all nations of the world to transform or otherwise shape and implement economies that are sustainable?

The policies of the current Central Government are encouraging inflation at a great extent.Moreover,Agriculture segment is not given the aid it requires leave alone the impetus for growth.India is an agriculture country and the agriculture export percentage to total exports is alarmingly reducing year by year and this is not a good sign at all for our economy.

Unless there is appropriate growth in rural economy,these talks of becoming fastest booming economy will remain self-aggrandising ideology.Every so often we indians keep harping about 8% GDP growth or so.But,only 25% of entire populace is getting the benefit of this growth.What about remaining 75%??Do we want to grow like China?No.Metropolitan cities of China look very professional but there is abject poverty in the rural China.I think such growth is flawed and we unnecessarily compare our economy with it.It is good that corporate culture is booming in India but unless the foundation stone is strong,the building will finally collapse.

Too much Beurocracy, Wide Spread Corruption Huge Divide between Rich & Poor (the Gap keeps Widening), Political Mangles are all deterrent to India becoming World's fastest growing economy. Also we are at a disadvantage against China (Really our only competitor) with regards to Large Scale Manufacuturing. We are aslo at a disadvantage considering thier Currency policy which gives them a definitive edge.

As long as the following things are existed India can not grow as in the expected directions. 

1) Dirty politics

2) Corruption 

3) Vote bank politics

4) Redtapism

I can say very concretely, if these factors are removed from Indian environment, India can overcome not only Chine but also USA. In India, we everything, unfortunately these factors influencing more. Therefore, India growth is not in the expected lines.
