The former Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) of India has warned that without significant judicial and bureaucratic reforms, the country will struggle to maintain a growth rate of 8‑9%.
He highlighted that delays in court decisions and cumbersome administrative procedures have become bottlenecks for businesses and investors.
The CEA suggested streamlining case disposal timelines, adopting technology in court processes, and simplifying approval frameworks for new enterprises.
He added that such reforms would not only boost investor confidence but also create a more conducive environment for sustained economic expansion.
