Calls for Enhanced Economic Forecasting by NITI Aayog and EAC-PM in India

Experts suggest that India's economic think tanks, including NITI Aayog and the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (EAC-PM), should provide more frequent and varied assessments of the country's economic outlook. Currently, guidance mainly comes from the Reserve Bank of India and the annual Economic Survey, which may become outdated amid rapid developments. Enhanced reports with updated growth and inflation forecasts could aid policymakers and markets in better understanding economic trends and challenges.
