INDIAN ECONOMY
INTRODUCTION
Indian economy has been characterized as a developing economy. India is rich in natural resources and has abundant manpower, but these resources have not yet been fully exploited. The British rules had tried to convert India into a market for British manufactured goods by destroying Indias indigenous industries and making India a source of food and raw materials for the West. Dadabhai Naoroji had pointed out as early as 1876, that the drain of wealth and capital from India had been mainly responsible for its underdevelopment. Details of Naorojis ideas are found in his famous work Poverty and Un British Rule in India. Types of World Economies Socialist Economy-Government role is absolute is Economic activities. Capitalist Economy-Private sector plays a leading role and State role complementary. Mixed Economy-Combination of Capitalist & Socialist Economies. Types of Competitive markets Perfect Competition :In this market there are large number of buyers and sellers. Monopolistic Competition:Number of manufacturers are limited. Market is responsive to changes. Oligopoly Competition : Only a few sellers produce large number of products. Monopoly Competition :In this market a single producer or seller controls entire market.

1. NATIONAL INCOME
National Income can be defined as the money equivalent of the volume of goods and services counted without duplication i.e., the money value of all the final goods and services, during an accounting year.

National income Estimation Concepts


National Income Concepts 1) Gross Domestic product (GDP) 2) Gross National product (GNP 3) Net national product (NNP) 1) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) GDP is the total money value of all final goods and services produced within the geographical boundaries of a country, during a given period. GDP= C + I + G (C= Consumer Exp; I= Invest Exp ;G= Govt Exp) 2) Gross National Product (GNP) GNP refers the money value of total output or production of final goods & services produced by national of a country, in a year, to be included to the money value of goods & services produced by nationals outside the country. GNP = GDP + Net Foreign Income {(X-M) + (R-P)} 3) Net National Income

NNP is the total domestic and foreign Income after deducting the depreciation. NNP = GNP-Depreciation N.I is calculated based on 2 costs/prices- Market Prices and Factors cost. Market prices means the prices of that a particular current financial year. Constant prices means prices of a particular past year called base year. So far 5 times the base year was changed.

1960-61 1999-2000 Per Capita Income

1980-81 1970-71 1993-94 2004-05 (Its latest base yr. to calculate N.I)
NNP at Factors Cost Total Population of the country

Per capita Income is calculated as:

National Income calculation methods


1) Product Method- also called as Inventory/Value Added/Net Product/Industrial origin method. In this method, Net value of final goods and services produced in a country, in a year is obtained.The total obtained value is called as Total final product. Income Method In this method, a total net income earned by working people in different sectors & commercial Enterprises are obtained.(N.I = Total rent + Wages + Interest + Profit) Expenditure Method It is also called as consumption method / Saving method. Hence, N.I is the addition of total consumption and total savings.

National Income Estimates in India


-D.R.Nauroji for the 1st time estimated Indias N.I for the year 1867-68. According to his estimates Indias N.I in 1867-68 was Rs.340 cr. and Per capita income was Rs.20/-. 1925-29-V.K.R.V.Rao estimated N.I. in a systematic manner. He mentioned Indias N.I in his books An essay on Indias N.I. He used Product and Income methods to estimate National Income.

INDUSTRIAL POLICY RESOLUTIONS At the time of independence, India inherited an economy with a very weak industrial base and problems like shortage of raw materials, deficiency of capital, bad industrial relations, etc. So there was need for a strong and effective industrial policy. The Government of India issued the first important industrial policy resolution on April 6, 1948. Since then industrial policies have been modified, or a new policy for industries has been put forward several times. 1) Industrial Policy Resolution, 1948 Following were the main features of the 1948 industrial policy: Acceptance of the importance of both private and public sectors Division of the industrial sector.

Miniratna-I Companies have the freedom to invest upto Rs. 500 cr. INDUSTRIAL FINANCE Finance is the life blood of industry. Lack of adequate and timely finance is one of the causes of slow development of industries in India. Economic growth and growth of financial infrastructure go hand in hand. The process of industrialisation is accompanied by massive investment in capital goods industries and economic infrastructure. As a result the financing of investment becomes an imperative of industrialisation.
