fundamentals and revision of GDP methodology calculation. Even
inflation showed signs of moderation, a welcome sign- wholesale price

compared with last year's 6.3% to 10.1 %. Reduced inflation, falling
crude oil prices, stable rupee, improved purchasing power and consumer
spending, higher capital inflows supported by the government policy
reforms have already put India on an accelerating growth track and
improved the business outlook.
The Government envisages GDP growth to accelerate to 8% in FY 16 driven
by strengthening macroeconomic fundamentals and implementation of
policy reforms recently announced. Reforms like e-auctions of coal
mines and telecom, FDI insurance, speedier regulatory approvals, etc.
will be critical growth enablers to de- bottleneck stalled projects,
improve the investment outlook and the ease of doing business in the
country. Reforms currently underway such as GST implementation,
Amendment on Land Acquisition Bill, Labour Reforms, etc. are expected to
provide the requisite thrust for growth in the medium-term.
