 t Rate and Deindustrialisation\nAbstract: There is considerable optimism am
 ong policy makers that India is now on the cusp of an economic upswing, hav
 ing met the challenges of global health and economic shocks in the year 202
 2-23. However,India’s claim of a return to 'normalcy' needs to be seen agai
 nst the decade-long derailment of the economy in the 2010s compared to the 
 growth acceleration witnessed after the 1980s. This essay addresses the set
 back to growth, investment, and consequent deindustrialisation. Falling inv
 estment rates and declining manufacturing growth rates have marked the Indi
 an GDP growth reversal since the mid-2010s. These structural defects have n
 ot yet been addressed. The current optimism can be realised only with a pub
 lic investment push that would crowd in private investment.About the Speake
