Modi 3.0 govt should push land, labour, agri reforms to boost growth: CII

Industry body CII on Thursday made a case for pushing reforms in sectors like land, labour, and agriculture by the Modi 3.0 government to accelerate economic growth, which is estimated to be around 8 per cent in the current financial year.

CII President Sanjiv Puri said a lot of policy interventions in the past have put the economy on "a much stronger wicket".

"The growth rate is poised to touch 8 per cent during the current year, marking the fourth consecutive year of above 7 per cent + growth.

"The growth estimate hinges critically on addressing the unfinished reform agenda on priority, in addition to improvement in world trade prospects aiding our exports, twin engines of investment and consumption doing well and expectations of a normal monsoon among other factors," he added.

Expressing optimism regarding the economy's performance, he said, "Very clearly, we are expecting all three sectors of the economy -- agricuture, services and industry -- to fire and do well next year."
