The Indian economy is clearly not out of the woods. Over the last 18 months, the Modi government has initiated quite a few reforms. The intention continues to remain positive. Sadly, the speed of the reforms process has left a lot to be desired.
On the positive side, the fall in commodity prices has helped India a lot. Inflation is lower than what it used to be. Interest rates are falling. FDI flows have improved. The international narrative about India is still positive. Unfortunately, this will help beyond a point.
