Deccan Herald - India's economic boom turns stock trading into a national pastime
From India, Ahmadabad

The economic boom that is being experienced in India is largely attributed to the globalization and liberalization of the Indian economy. The era prior to the 1990s was quite averse to the concept of an open market policy, and the Indian markets were predominantly closed in nature.
The government of India, however, ruled and regulated Indian markets, but with the globalization and liberalization of the Indian economy, the whole market scenario changed in no time. The economic policy drafted in the early 1990s by the government of India facilitated a huge inflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) into the much-insulated Indian markets. Prime economic factors like Industrial Growth, Balance-of-Payments, Merchandise Exports, Invisible Accounts, and Foreign-Exchange Reserves witnessed positive growth and affected tremendous growth of the Indian Economy.
The positive effects of globalization and liberalization of the Indian economy can be corroborated from the following facts:
Industrial Growth – for the first time has exceeded 10%. Manufacturing growth rate has exceeded 12% in 6 months (April-September 2006). The mining and quarrying sector have registered a growth of 4%. The electricity sector recorded a double-digit growth of 12% during September 2006 as compared to September 2005. Consumer durables and non-durables have also recorded upswings. The use-based economic sub-groups and intermediate goods have registered an impressive growth of almost 15% during September 2006 over September 2005. Consumer goods have recorded a high growth of 13%. The National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council has targeted 12 to 14% growth in the 11th Plan period.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) – net investments in equities crossed US$ 7 billion in calendar 2006. FII net investment till 6 November 2006 has been US$ 7.08 billion, according to the Securities and Exchange Board of India. 151 new FIIs have opened their offices in India during the first 10 months of 2006. The total number of FIIs in India stands at 974 as of November 2006.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) – India envisages attracting $10 billion of foreign direct investment (FDI) this year as inflows have nearly doubled to US$ 4.4 billion in April-September 2006. In September 2006, FDI inflows grew 225% to US$ 916 million as compared to US$ 282 million in the same month last year. Services attracted the maximum investment of US$ 1.5 billion, recording growth of 350%. The telecommunication sector with inflows of US$ 405 million has registered the maximum growth of 950%. Corporate India has recorded its highest rise in salaries at 22% in the first half of 2006-07 against an increase of 17% in 2005-06.
India's Balance of Payments is expected to remain comfortable.
Merchandise Exports recorded strong growth.
The Invisibles Account remained positive during the last financial year and financed 2/3 of the trade deficit.
India's Foreign Exchange Reserves were US$ 166.2 billion as of October 2006, showing an increment of US$ 14.5 billion over end-March 2006.
India's economy grew at 9.3% in the quarter April-June and was driven by the manufacturing, construction, services sector, and agriculture sector.
GDP factor for the first quarter of 2007-08 was at Rs 7,23,132 crore, registering a growth rate of 9.3% over the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
The manufacturing industry registered an 11.9% growth.
The passenger vehicles sector grew by 11.61% during April-May 2007.
Electricity, gas, and water supply performed well and recorded an impressive growth rate of 8.3%.
Construction growth rate rose to 10.7%.
Trade, hotels, transport, and communication registered a growth rate of 12%.
Financing, insurance, real estate, and business services recorded an impressive growth rate of 11% during the 1st quarter of this fiscal.
Community, social, and personal services maintained a decent growth rate of 7.6%.
The growth rate of 'agriculture, forestry & fishing' and 'mining & quarrying' are estimated at 3.8 percent and 3.2 percent, respectively during the 1st quarter of 2007-2008.
Exports grew by 18.11% during the 1st quarter of 2007-2008, and the imports shot up by 34.30% during the same period.
India's FOREX reserves (excluding Gold and SDRs) stood at $219.75 billion at the end of July '07.
The food sector is estimated to be of US$ 200 billion, and it is expected to grow to $310 billion by 2015.
Stocks of food grains grew by 13.1% to 17.73 million tons.
The annual inflation rate was 4.45% for the week ended July 28, 2007.
India's Balance of Payments is expected to remain comfortable.
Merchandise Exports recorded strong growth.
These upswings of indicators are the result of globalization and liberalization of the Indian economy introduced and implemented in the early 1990s. With a consistent rise in the manufacturing and service sector activities together with a bullish stock market, the growth story of the Indian economy is expected to rise further and help India achieve its economic goals.
