Indian economy would grow by between 7.0 per cent and 7.75 per cent in the 2016-17 fiscal year that starts on April 1.

Fiscal Deficit 
  • 2016-17 expected to be challenging from fiscal point of view; time is right for a review of medium-term fiscal framework

  • Low inflation has taken hold, confidence in price stability has improved
  • Expect RBI to meet 5 per cent inflation target by March 2017
  • Prospect of lower oil prices over medium term likely to dampen inflationary expectations

Current Account Deficit 2016/17 current account deficit seen around 1-1.5 per cent of GDP

Currency 
  • Rupee's value must be fair, avoid strengthening; fair value can be achieved through monetary relaxation
  • India needs to prepare itself for a major currency readjustment in Asia in wake of a similar adjustment in China
  • Rupee's gradual depreciation can be allowed if capital inflows are weak

Banking & Corporate Sector 
  • Estimated capital requirement for banks around 1.8 trillion rupees by 2018-19
  • Proposes to make 700 billion rupees available via budgetary allocations during current and succeeding years in banks
  • Government could sell off certain non-financial companies to infuse capital in state-run banks
  • Corporate, bank balance sheets remain stretched, affecting prospects for reviving private investments
