Title of the Paper: India Derailed: A
  Falling Investment Rate and Deindustrialisation
\n
Abstract: There is cons
 iderable optimism among policy makers that India is now on the cusp of an e
 conomic upswing, having met the challenges of global health and economic sh
 ocks in the year 2022-23. However,India’s claim of a return to 'normalcy' n
 eeds to be seen against the decade-long derailment of the economy in the 20
 10s compared to the growth acceleration witnessed after the 1980s. This ess
 ay addresses the setback to growth, investment, and consequent deindustrial
 isation. Falling investment rates and declining manufacturing growth rates 
 have marked the Indian GDP growth reversal since the mid-2010s. These struc
 tural defects have not yet been addressed. The current optimism can be real
 ised only with a public investment push that would crowd in private investm
 ent.
