Analysis

The Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-08 to 2011-12) set an average growth target of 9% per year, with acceleration to 10% by the end of the Plan period. The Prime Minister chaired the Planning Commission that adopted the Plan.

Official data put the realised average for the Plan period at 8.0% per year. Yearly growth was 9.3% (2007-08), 6.7% (2008-09), 8.6% (2009-10), 9.3% (2010-11) and 6.2% (2011-12), so the target was missed, although 8% was still the highest plan average achieved up to that point.

Government documents attribute the shortfall to two global slowdowns during the period and to domestic supply-side and monetary conditions in 2011-12.
