Even before the Twelfth Plan envisaging a 9 per cent growth average for the five years (2012-17) is finalized, the Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia concedes that the target may prove difficult, with the embedded inflation in the economy and an unfinished reform agenda. Near term prospects for progress on both fronts can be virtually ruled out and hence understandably, the target was not more ambitiously set at 10 per cent, as the Prime Minister would have desired.
