The Indian Economy

I have always believed that the “Indian IT Miracle” is 50% true and 50% hype. And this report in NYT proves me right :

India’s annual growth in manufacturing output, at 9 percent and accelerating, is close to catching growth in services, at 10 percent. Exports of manufactured goods to the United States are now rising faster in percentage terms than China’s, although from a much smaller base. More than two-thirds of foreign investment in the last year has gone into manufacturing in India, not services.
