Exclusive: India needs land, labor reform to aid manufacturing - chief economic adviser
According to India’s chief economic advisor, the next government will need to reform the land, labor, and finances sectors in order to improve India’s economy. The advisor feels that restrictive land and labor laws discourage investors from building new manufacturing plants in the country. This sentiment is backed by the fact that manufacturing has grown only 1.5 percent in the past three years. Additionally, India’s economic growth has slowed significantly which has been cause of concern for policymakers.
