"Worst Is Behind, Recovery Clearly On:" Chief Economic Adviser To NDTV | Read

Chief Economic Adviser Krishnamurthy Subramanian told NDTV on Tuesday that "the worst is behind us" and economic recovery "is clearly on". His remarks in an exclusive interview to NDTV come a day after official data showed the country's gross domestic product (GDP) contracted a record 23.9 per cent in the quarter ended June 30, as the coronavirus pandemic and the resultant lockdowns hampered an already-slowing economy. The GDP reading was along the expected lines due to COVID-19 and the economy on the path of a "V-shaped recovery", the Chief Economic Adviser said.
