heavily impacted by the burgeoning Maoist movement and continuing problems

terrorist threats. However, the EIU analysts commented that India's
democracy seems entrenched and resilient, thus the possibility of political collapse
is lower than in most other Asian countries.
India Economic Outlook for 2010-2014
In light of the fact that prime minister Singh and the UPA coalition survived the no
confidence vote, India's economic outlook for 2010-2014 should remain generally
positive. This means the economic policies for the forecast period will be consistent
with the direction that was pursued in the first five years of Singh's coalition

Since the beginning of 2010, the Indian economy surged in activity and that surge is
expected to continue through the forecast period. Accordingly, EIU analysts forecast
that India's real GDP will grow 8.4% in 2010/2011, 8.6% in 2011/2012, and 8.7% per
