But, 1991-92 was a defining moment in India’s modern economic history as a severe balance of payments (BoP) crisis prompted far reaching economic reforms, unlocking its growth potential. As a result, in only 15 years, India’s per capita income doubled again by 2006-07. If the current pace of growth is maintained, India’s per capita income could further double by 2017-18, in 10 years time.

India’s economy is one that appears to be on the brink of a major recession. Their central bank has made bad choices over the last number of years. This has lead to a low growth within the country and a high inflation rate. They changed their political leadership to someone who was more open to change and reform, but this has not come about.
