📊 Growth Trajectory

🏭 Investment Slump
Corporate sector remains cautious; private investment as % of GDP at decade low.
🏛️ Monetary Tightrope
RBI holds rates but signals liquidity support; inflation vs growth dilemma deepens.
📦 Indirect Tax Resilience
GST eases fiscal pressure; robust e-way bills signal formal sector resilience.
🏗️ Govt Capex Engine
Infrastructure spending remains the only bright spot; multiplier effects yet to materialize.
🏭 Sectoral Fallout: Which Industries Are Bleeding?
“The current slowdown reflects both cyclical headwinds and deep structural rigidities. Reviving private investment and addressing agrarian distress are critical for regaining 7%+ growth trajectory.”
