There is a distinct improvement in capital use efficiency compared to the pre-Covid decade. If this trend in capital efficiency is sustained, it will be a big boost to India's growth prospects in the coming years as cross-border capital flows become hostage to geopolitical developments, Finance Ministry stated in a latest monthly economic update. As per the first revised estimates (FRE) for FY24, real GDP has grown by 9.2 per cent in FY24, up from 8.2 per cent as per the provisional estimates (PE) made in May 2024. This is the highest in the previous 12 years except for FY22 (the post-covid year). This growth has been contributed by double-digit growth rates in the manufacturing sector (12.3 per cent), the construction sector (10.4 per cent) and the financial, real estate & professional services sector (10.3 per cent).
