India has experienced economic growth over the past five decades, with periods of acceleration and slowdowns. The recent slowdown in growth is mainly due to issues in investment, credit, and exports. To achieve higher growth rates, India needs to focus on policies that boost investment, credit supply, and exports, as well as benefit from the global economy. Maintaining economic stability, resolving banking sector problems, and maximizing the benefits of the Goods and Services Tax are crucial for achieving sustained growth.
