Mar. 13, 2008

India is headed for a recession that can end in a deep nasty depression. Indian Government allowed large amount of Foreign Direct Investment. Outsourcing of services to cater the US and European markets created jobs and money supply increased. Things are reversing now as US is in deep depression although official statements even deny any recession.
The 30-share Sensex, which commenced the day on a weak note, tumbled by 770.63 points to 15,357.35. Indian government yesterday released the data, which said industrial growth had plunged to 5.3 per cent for January from 11.6 per cent in the same month last year, indicating cooling in economy.
An onslaught of selling by financial institutions gripped the markets as fears of recession in US and India take over the market scenario.
