• World’s 10TH Largest Economy: GDP: $2.047 trillion (Nominal)
• GDP Per Capita: $ 1,625 (Nominal; 130TH in the World)

• Labor Force: 487.3 Million (As in 2013)
• Unemployment: 3% Urban; 2% Rural, 10.8 Million is Total Headcount (In 2013 based on NSSO Method)
• Gini Coefficient: 33.9 (In 2012: Indicates a gradual shift towards economic equality amongst Indians)
(Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income or consumption expenditure among individuals
or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative
percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest
individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of
absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0 represents
perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality).

‘India Is Rising’ Indicators
• ‘Funny money QE (Quantitative Easing)’ : India looks expensive. But within the context of its own history, India
is just trading at the average forward PE (price-to-earnings). Indian markets aren’t too expensive; they are
reasonably valued, if it is made to believe that the investment cycle is resuming. If it isn’t, India appears
expensive. Another big positive is Indian markets are not distorted by ‘Funny money QE (Quantitative Easing)’
(QE: An unconventional monetary policy in which a central bank purchases government securities or other
securities from the market in order to lower interest rates and increase the money supply. Quantitative easing
increases the money supply by flooding financial institutions with capital in an effort to promote increased
lending and liquidity. Quantitative easing is considered when short-term interest rates are at or approaching
zero, and does not involve the printing of new banknotes.)’. The yield curve is not distorted. There is a
conservative central bank and a conventional yield curve; which is a big positive.
• Impact on Indian Economy
• Quantitative easing or the printing of money is the easiest way to stimulate economic growth that involves a lot
of risk not only for the home economy but for the world as a whole. In 2011, before the first round of tapering,
the 10 year Indian govt. paper gave a yield of 7.92% and the Rupee Dollar exchange rate was 44.71. However, in
2011 when the first round of tapering begun in the US, FIIs assumed a short position in the Indian Bond market
selling in huge volumes. Thus, the price of G-sec fell and the yield rose to 8.55% because of huge selling and the
FIIs took more dollars along with them out of the country. The Balance of Payment equation which was earlier
balanced turned skewed because of the change in current account.

730 million in rural areas,278 million in urban areas
• Age structure: 0-14 years 31.2 percent , 15-64 years 63.9 percent, 65 years and over 4.9 percent
• Geographic Areas: 29 States, 7 Union Territories: West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka,
Punjab, Haryana, Orissa, Jharkhand and Tamil Nadu etc.,
• Land Area: 3,287,590 km²
• Indian Railways: An Indian State owned enterprise, owned and operated by the Government of India through the ‘Ministry of
Railways’, and It is one of the world's largest railway networks comprising 115,000 km (71,000 mi) of track over a route of 65,436 km
(40,660 mi) and 7,172 stations. In 2013–14, IR carried 8.425 billion passengers annually or more than 23 million passengers daily
(roughly half of which were suburban passengers) and 1050.18 million tons of freight in the year. In 2013–2014 Indian Railways had
revenues of 1441.67 billion (US$23 billion) which consists of 940.0 billion (US$15 billion) from freight and 375.0 billion
(US$6.1 billion) from passengers tickets.
• Indian Roadways: According to the ministry of road transport and highways, the Indian road network of 33 lakh kilometers is the
second largest in the world. The inter-connection of state and national highways linking villages to the metro cities is vital to match the
needs of a developing economy and still needs to make significant progress. In the recent years, massive road development projects
undertaken by private companies and foreign investors throughout the country have resulted in the creation of new roads and
highways that have been built to accommodate multi-lane systems. The Golden Quadrilateral highway project is one of the country’s
biggest roadway development projects connecting the major metro cities and spanning over 6,000 kilometers
Indian Market’s Potential In General Terms
• Power: Power and electricity consumption in the country is perhaps the most critical area of the Indian
infrastructure that still needs to make significant improvement. The State governments have a majority control over
the transmission and distribution of power and need to strengthen their alliances with more private sector
participants in order to promote growth in this sector. Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) is the country’s
largest energy and power infrastructure provider and continues to undertake huge efforts to meet the nation’s
demands in this sector
• Telecommunications: This sub-sector is one of the modern infrastructure areas contributing directly to the growth
of the Indian economy. Due to the high growth and expansion in IT, the telecom sector has opened up for
privatization thereby making it a highly competitive sector Almost everyone, including rural sections of the
population have more than just basic telephone accessibility these days.
This has been possible due to the efforts of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), an Indian government owned
subsidy. The sector has now advanced to include mobile phone services, broadband capabilities, cable TV operators
thereby integrating IT and modern technology into several households. Companies such as Reliance Communication,
Bharti Airtel, Tata Indicom etc. are active proponents to this sector’s progress.
Indian Government Initiatives
• In order to attract investments in the defense sector, higher FDI cap, wherein the foreign investor having majority equity, will act as a
catalyst-CII
• India is the only country in the world which offers the unique combination of democracy, demography, and demand. He said the new
Government was taking initiatives for skill development to ensure that skilled manpower was available for manufacturing. He also referred
to the Digital India mission, saying this would ensure that Government processes remained in tune with corporate processes.
• ‘Sensitization of Government Officials’ and ‘Effective Governance’
• Infrastructure of the future – including i-ways besides highways – and mentioned port led development, optical fiber networks, gas grids
and water grids.

misguided nor confusing; it is based on the factual economic figures and emotional determination of the Indian Diaspora to take India
to a new height.

Agricultural Products and Readymade Garments in addition to 4 sectors already benefiting from the scheme.

scheme shall be 25% of the routine export obligations. The exporters in these states shall also be now provided with an additional
incentive of 1% on the FOB value.

Ukraine have been added to FMS (Focus Market Scheme)
• 7 New Markets have been added to the SFMS (Special Focus Market Scheme). These are Belize, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras,
Morocco and Uruguay.

  • 11. India’s Financial Statistics • World’s 3rd largest economy: $7.277 trillion (PPP: Purchasing Power Parity) • World’s 10TH Largest Economy: GDP: $2.047 trillion (Nominal) • GDP Per Capita: $ 1,625 (Nominal; 130TH in the World) • GDP by sector: Agriculture: 13.7%, Industry: 21.5%, Services: 64.8% (As in 2013) • Population below Poverty Line: 179.6 Million (In 2014 as per World Bank) • Labor Force: 487.3 Million (As in 2013) • Unemployment: 3% Urban; 2% Rural, 10.8 Million is Total Headcount (In 2013 based on NSSO Method) • Gini Coefficient: 33.9 (In 2012: Indicates a gradual shift towards economic equality amongst Indians) (Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income or consumption expenditure among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality). • Credit Rating: BBB (Domestic & Foreign), BBB+ (T&C Assessment), Outlook: Stable (An obligor rated 'BBB' has adequate capacity to meet its financial commitments.

  • 12. ‘India Is Rising’ Indicators • ‘Funny money QE (Quantitative Easing)’ : India looks expensive. But within the context of its own history, India is just trading at the average forward PE (price-to-earnings). Indian markets aren’t too expensive; they are reasonably valued, if it is made to believe that the investment cycle is resuming. If it isn’t, India appears expensive. Another big positive is Indian markets are not distorted by ‘Funny money QE (Quantitative Easing)’ (QE: An unconventional monetary policy in which a central bank purchases government securities or other securities from the market in order to lower interest rates and increase the money supply. Quantitative easing increases the money supply by flooding financial institutions with capital in an effort to promote increased lending and liquidity. Quantitative easing is considered when short-term interest rates are at or approaching zero, and does not involve the printing of new banknotes.)’. The yield curve is not distorted. There is a conservative central bank and a conventional yield curve; which is a big positive. • Impact on Indian Economy • Quantitative easing or the printing of money is the easiest way to stimulate economic growth that involves a lot of risk not only for the home economy but for the world as a whole. In 2011, before the first round of tapering, the 10 year Indian govt. paper gave a yield of 7.92% and the Rupee Dollar exchange rate was 44.71. However, in 2011 when the first round of tapering begun in the US, FIIs assumed a short position in the Indian Bond market selling in huge volumes. Thus, the price of G-sec fell and the yield rose to 8.55% because of huge selling and the FIIs took more dollars along with them out of the country. The Balance of Payment equation which was earlier balanced turned skewed because of the change in current account.

In 2013–14, IR carried 8.425 billion passengers annually or more than 23 million passengers daily (roughly half of which were suburban passengers) and 1050.18 million tons of freight in the year.

The inter-connection of state and national highways linking villages to the metro cities is vital to match the needs of a developing economy and still needs to make significant progress. In the recent years, massive road development projects undertaken by private companies and foreign investors throughout the country have resulted in the creation of new roads and highways that have been built to accommodate multi-lane systems.

  • 20. Indian Market’s Potential In General Terms • Power: Power and electricity consumption in the country is perhaps the most critical area of the Indian infrastructure that still needs to make significant improvement. The State governments have a majority control over the transmission and distribution of power and need to strengthen their alliances with more private sector participants in order to promote growth in this sector. Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) is the country’s largest energy and power infrastructure provider and continues to undertake huge efforts to meet the nation’s demands in this sector • Telecommunications: This sub-sector is one of the modern infrastructure areas contributing directly to the growth of the Indian economy. Due to the high growth and expansion in IT, the telecom sector has opened up for privatization thereby making it a highly competitive sector Almost everyone, including rural sections of the population have more than just basic telephone accessibility these days. This has been possible due to the efforts of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), an Indian government owned subsidy. The sector has now advanced to include mobile phone services, broadband capabilities, cable TV operators thereby integrating IT and modern technology into several households. Companies such as Reliance Communication, Bharti Airtel, Tata Indicom etc. are active proponents to this sector’s progress.
