π Indiaβs Growth Paradox
π What is it?
β Indiaβs economy is witnessing strong GDP growth and rising corporate profits, but household incomes, savings, and purchasing power remain under pressure.
β This reflects a K-shaped recovery, where economic gains are concentrated among a few while many households face stagnant wages and rising debt.
π Key Indicators
β GDP growth projected at 6.9% (FY27) with fiscal deficit target of 4.3%.
β Household financial savings declined to 5.2% of GNDI (FY23) from the long-term 7β8% average.
β Household debt increased from 3% of GDP (FY14) to 5.7% (FY23); overall household debt crossed 45.5% of GDP.
β Growing dependence on credit cards, personal loans, and gold loans for consumption.
π Major Challenges
β Stagnant real wages despite robust economic growth.
β Rising income inequality due to K-shaped recovery.
β Weak rural wage growth, with casual agricultural wages growing by less than 1.5% annually.
β Increased reliance on debt-led consumption and declining household savings.
π Positive Trends
β Greater financialization of savings through SIPs, mutual funds, and equities.
β Higher housing investment supported by PMAY and easier credit access.
β RBI notes improving borrower quality despite rising consumer credit.
π Way Forward
β Rationalize GST on essential goods to reduce the burden on households.
β Strengthen MSMEs to generate labour-intensive employment.
β Shift towards progressive direct taxation.
β Increase investment in public healthcare and education to reduce household expenditure.
β Promote wage-led, inclusive growth alongside macroeconomic expansion.
π Mains Practice Question (15 Marks):
βIndiaβs high economic growth has not translated into proportional improvements in household incomes and living standards.β Examine the reasons behind this growth paradox and suggest measures to make growth more inclusive.
