India making steady progress, global crisis notwithstanding: RBI article

Notwithstanding the geopolitical crisis created by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, India is making steady progress as it recovers from the third wave of pandemic though downside risks remain, the Reserve Bank said in an article on Mar 17 .
Observing that India's macroeconomic fundamentals remain strong, the article in the RBI Bulletin on 'State of the Economy' said, "unfolding global developments nevertheless pose downside risks in terms of spillovers.
The article authored by RBI officials noted that the global economy is facing formidable headwinds from the conflict in Ukraine.
Oil prices had touched multi-year highs, financial markets are on edge, driven by mass buying into safe-haven assets, particularly gold.
Inflation continued to rise across economies, with cost-push pressures intensifying in the backdrop of clogged supply chains, high energy, food and commodity prices and seeping wage pressures, it said.
On the domestic front, the article noted that services sector outlets such as restaurants and cinema halls are gradually resuming normal operations, and mobility indicators show significant improvement in March 2022, compared to a year ago.
Also, the generation of E-way bills remained above pre-pandemic levels.
Toll collections also rose in February 2022, despite the waning of base effect.
The article further said the resumption in mobility spurred diesel and petrol consumption in February 2022, although a dip in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) dampened total petroleum consumption.
Retail sales of automobiles continued to stagnate, with high delivery times impeding registrations.
It also pointed out that the gross fiscal deficit plummeted to an all-time low of 58.9 per cent of Revised Estimate (RE) in the Budget during April-January 2021-22.
Further, as of March 08, 2022, the overall procurement of rice during the ongoing kharif marketing season 2021-22 touched 489.
2 lakh tonnes cumulatively, as against 451.9 lakh tonnes a year ago. The target for rice procurement in this complete season is 528.3 lakh tonnes.
February's merchandise exports surpassed the USD 30-billion mark for the 12th consecutive month and the target of USD 400 billion appears within striking distance, it said.
