Lockdown, Day 68: India at the crossroads

Modern economies will change forever after the coronavirus pandemic passes says a Bloomberg report. This holds equally true for Indian companies who are now trying to recover from a plummeting demand.

The state is also pitching in. The government has dropped contentious clauses paving the way for Apple and others to make a larger play in local production and attract global manufacturers. All this even as India has announced an Unlock 1.0.

Debate This
India should forget catching up with China in growth. Agree?
The GDP numbers for both Q4 and full-year FY20 are out. Although Q4 saved India the blushes by beating most forecasts, it could not save FY20 from becoming the worst year in eight. Considering the fact that the lockdown affected only seven days of Q4, the omens appear even more awful for Q1 of FY21, the better part of which has already gone to waste. So, bye bye, double-digit growth dream?
