GDP growth slows to 8.9% in Q2 : BusinessLine
GDP growth slows to 8.9% in Q2
The economy has registered a growth of 8.9 per cent in the second quarter (July-September) of the current fiscal. This is below the 10.2 per cent year-on-year increase in the gross domestic product (GDP) for the corresponding quarter of 2006-07 and also the 9.3 per cent growth of the first quarter of this fiscal.
“As anticipated, the overall growth has moderated”, admitted the Union Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram. In the same breadth, however, he noted that the 8.9 per cent figure was close to the nine per cent level as earlier predicted. “I am still confident that growth for the whole year will be pretty close to nine per cent”, the Minister added.
First half growth
The GDP growth for the first half of 2007-08 works out to 9.1 per cent (against 9.9 per cent for April-September 2006-07), as per the estimates released by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) here on Friday. The overall growth rate for 2006-07 amounted to 9.4 per cent, while it was nine per cent in 2005-06, 7.5 per cent in 2004-05 and 8.5 per cent in 2003-04.
Mr Chidambaram made it clear that the Government was not looking at growth hitting double digits this fiscal. But even if it turns out in the region of nine per cent, it would cap a five-year dream run, unprecedented in the recorded history of the country’s economy.
Deceleration
The moderation in GDP increase during the latest quarter was mainly due to lower growth of manufacturing (8.6 per cent against 12.7 per cent for July-September 2006). A similar deceleration was reported for ‘electricity, gas and water supply’ (7.3 per cent against 8.1 per cent), ‘trade, hotels, transport and communications’ (11.4 per cent against 14.2 per cent), ‘financing, insurance, real estate and business services’ (10.6 per cent against 11.1 per cent) and ‘community, social and personal services’ (7.8 per cent against 8.3 per cent).
The only sectors to buck the trend were ‘agriculture’ (which grew 3.6 per cent during July-September 2007, against 2.9 per cent) and ‘mining and quarrying’ (7.7 per cent versus 3.9 per cent). Construction, too, maintained its last year’s corresponding growth rate of 11.1 per cent.
Investment rates
Mr Chidambaram attributed the decline in manufacturing growth mainly to segments such as consumer durables. However, he based his overall optimism for the economy on the sustained investment rates, as measured by the ratio of gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) to GDP. This number (at constant 1999-2000 prices) stood at 30.3 per cent for July-September 2007, which was higher than the 28.6 per cent for July-September 2006 and 29.6 per cent for April-June 2006.
“The high GFCF rate of 30.3 per cent shows that buoyancy in investment remains intact and investment continues to be the driver of growth. It gives me the confidence that the year will end with a GDP growth pretty close to nine per cent”, the Finance Minister added.

Angel investor: A life line for rookie entrepreneurs
Angel investor: A life line for rookie entrepreneurs : The Economic Times
Business aspirant Madan Pandit quit his job in 2004 and roamed Bangalore’s cyber cafes to build the prototype of an online search analytics tool, which he later converted into his first venture. When he needed funds for the start-up, he didn’t consider venture capital (VC) firms but approached well-known angel investor Kanwaljit Singh. With an unproven technology and hardly a business model to speak of, he still succeeded in getting the funding. On the other hand, Phaninder Sama, co-founder of Redbus.in, an online bus ticketing site, ran his new business for around three months before making a venture capital pitch.
He and his partners skipped the angel step altogether. They, too, got the money. In fact, the new image acquired by the VC connection helped them hire high-class talent. Two entrepreneurs. Two radically opposite strategies. And both are happy with their respective choices today. So, how does one tell whether a new business should go in for angel investment or venture capital funding? It is indeed a crucial choice for a small company, because if an entrepreneur is not yet ready for venture capital, it is pointless to waste time pitching the business to VCs and more profitable to approach an angel.
Angel investors, often, are successful entrepreneurs themselves, fondly reliving their early struggles and wanting to mentor young minds. Some think of investments in start-ups as a way to give back to society. Others, who left India and made it big in the West, want to shrink the country’s economic growth curve with the stimulus their money would bring to entrepreneurship. Thus, they are driven first by the beauty of new ideas and only then, by return on investment. They can put in as little as a few lakhs of rupees to as much as several crores.
Venture capital funds, on the contrary, are professionally-driven enterprises which pool in resources from their investors and channel them into ideas that are more likely to succeed. They often look for a proven, or at least a well thought-out business model, cash flow, management bandwidth and so on. They also look to invest a sizeable amount of money, say a few million dollars. “By default, you would always want to go in for VC,” Suvir Sujan, a venture capitalist with Nexus India Capital and a former angel investor, said. “VCs can get you further with capital. With an angel, you could get stuck, because there is only so much funding an angel can provide. After all, he is just one individual.
The VC offers the stability of an institution.” However, an angel would be the option when VCs are telling you it is too early to invest in your company, he added. Venture capital funds can be of immense help in building a company to maturity, after the business has cleared the initial hurdle of getting on the track. In an increasingly globalised world, marketing and hiring the best talent can be expensive and large investments are called for in the growth stage. Angel investors don’t have the financial muscle to shepherd their investee companies beyond a point.
