Hitting the High Notes
The government´s move to demonetise old Rs.500 and Rs.1,000 banknotes has been widely hailed by the country´s infrastructure sector as a positive development. Industry representatives would also like the government and its agencies to simultaneously roll out adequate measures to counter any likely bumps on the road ahead.
Growth Stimulus Treatment (GST)
That our country´s GDP growth rate is going to get a bump-up if the Goods and Services Tax was to be implemented, is a consensus among many experts, as well as the industry bodies, although they may differ regarding the extent of push GST is likely to give our economy, with the quantum suggested varying from 1-3 per cent of incremental increase in growth
GST may be disruptive for the next two-three years for certain sectors
In general, our view is that GST is going to bring in a lot of efficiencies as far as logistics goes and logistics also has a direct bearing on the cost of some of these raw materials which are going to be core to the development of any infrastructure project.
Most complex tax regime by far
The macroeconomic aspects of GST haven´t been taken into account. If the government says that it will collect more revenue, then that means that prices will have to rise because it´s an indirect tax. If prices rise, then industrial output would tend to stagnate or decline.
The infrastructure story is waiting to unfold
Infrastructure is the backbone on which the economic and social wellbeing of any country hinges. Though India has emerged as the third largest economy, its GDP growth rate slowed down to less than 5 per cent in FY 13-14, as against a CAGR of 8.4 per cent during 2003 - 2010.
India to grow at 8-9 per cent
According to the Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, India has the capacity to grow at 8-9 per cent and good governance would make economic expansion ´more exuberant´.
