How is GDP calculated?

GDP = private consumption + gross investment + government investment + government spending + (exports – imports).

Why did the Indian GDP Growth Rate reach the current levels?

There were various steps involved in the sudden fall of the Indian Economy:

1. The supply created in certain sectors was more than the requirements which eventually resulted in the fall of the economy.
2. Excessive interest rates on certain entities also amount to the increase in supply and decrease in demand.
3. Inflation is also one of the major causes for the depleted GDP as the shift of users from purchasing an expensive product to shifting to a reasonable product just because the economy is affecting the wage growth is also one of the reasons.
4. Government spending reduction can directly be proportional to the fall in GDP as the daily wage worker are highly reliant on these incomes. As soon as the government stops the payment for these sectors this highly affects the GDP rate.

What steps are needed to revive the Falling Indian GDP Growth Rate?

• As per the expectations of Leading economists, it is estimated that the next 2 months are very crucial for the Indian market. It is expected that the GDP will be stabilized after the festive season kicks in.
• Many experts believe that there need to be more interest rate cuts to help stabilize the situation.
• Fixing the liquidity crisis will also be a crucial step. Increasing the cash flow is very important for the revival of the plunging economy. More cash flow would ensure the balance between manufacture and purchase.
• Many economists believe that the recently taken steps are not enough to help revive the situation. Simply increasing the supply without creating the demand will simply deteriorate the condition even more. Hence focus should also be on increasing the demand.
