The growth rate of the Indian economy is likely to increase by 0.20 percent to 7.5 percent in 2022-23. During this period, the size of the GDP will also increase by 16.1 percent. SBI Research said in a report that because of high inflation and subsequent increase in interest rates, real GDP will increase by 11.1 lakh crore in the current financial year.
This represents a real GDP growth of 7.5 percent in 2022-23, 0.20% higher than our previous estimate. The size of GDP grew by Rs 38.6 lakh crore to Rs 237 lakh crore in 2021-22 at current prices, an increase of 19.5% year-on-year, the report said.
If inflation remains high in the first half of 2022-23, the size of GDP will increase by 16.1% this year to Rs 275 lakh crore at current prices. On the other hand, according to the recently released government data, the economic growth rate in 2021-22 was 8.7 percent. GDP increased by 11.8 lakh crore to Rs 147 lakh crore.
