Due to government policy efforts, debottlenecking of previously stalled projects is underway in India. However, the country needs continuous new investment to create strong foundation for sustainable growth, says Nomura

 

The Increase in revived investment projects that were stalled suggest that debottlenecking of previously stalled projects is underway in India, due to government policy efforts. However, since these revived projects only make up a small proportion of overall investment and therefore, new investment needs to continue to accelerate to create a stronger foundation for sustainable growth, says Nomura.

 

According to the data from Centre for Monitoring the Indian Economy (CMIE), new investment projects announced rose to 12.3% of GDP in Q4 2014 from 8.8% in Q3. On a four-quarter rolling sum basis, investment rose to 7.1 % of GDP from 5.1 % in Q3 2014. 
 
New investment projects announced in the infrastructure sector rose sharply, especially in the air transport, aircraft orders and road sectors. New investment in the manufacturing sector though remains very tepid.
 
Meanwhile, the number of investment projects revived rose sharply to 1% of GDP in Q4 2014 (4-qtr sum) versus a low of 0.2% in Q1 2014, led by a revival in projects in the mining and electricity sectors.
 
Nomura said, "(the data shows) capital expenditure for projects has revived sharp rise. New investment also rose, but it is still at low levels."
