Vol. 6 No. 1: April 2011
Industrial output rose 7.3 percent in March from a year earlier, almost double the revised 3.7 percent expansion in February. Indian exports grew 34.4 percent in April, 2011 to $23.9 billion but on the other side imports also showed a rise of 14.1 percent to $ 32.8 billion which results a trade deficit of $8.9 billion in April. Food inflation dropped to an 18 months low of 7.7 percent during the last week of April, 2011 due to declining prices of pulses and vegelables and expectation of record production of many food items. Increasing prices of petrol and diesel may adversely affect the economy. With these road hurdles and speed-ups, the national economy upgrading day by day, we here are publishing our 11th issue of JCT.
