Economist Ashok Kumar Lahiri, who took over as vice chairman of NITI Aayog ? last month, believes India's growth debate is focused on the wrong question. Rather than looking for ways to boost consumption, Lahiri said policymakers should focus on increasing investment by accelerating reforms and removing obstacles to capital flows. In an exclusive interview with Surojit Gupta and Nalin Mehta, Lahiri made the case for an investment-led growth strategy, pointing to India's relatively low Investment rate, compared to those of the East Asian Tigers and China when they were at similar economic levels.
