West Asia Tensions Aur Trade Slowdown Ka Connection?
April mein, E-way bills ki sankhya kam hokar 13.33 crore ho gayi, jo March ke record 14.06 crore se 5% kam hai. Is slowdown ka main reason hai West Asia mein badhti hui geopolitical tensions, jisse global economy mein uncertainty aa gayi hai. Is uncertainty ke chalte businesses thoda cautious ho gaye hain apne inventory aur shipments ko lekar, khaas kar naye financial year ki shuruaat mein.
Par Demand Abhi Bhi Solid Hai!
Monthly dip ke bawajood, overall figures bahut zabardast annual growth dikha rahe hain. E-way bills saal-dar-saal (year-on-year) 12% badhe hain. Manoj Mishra, jo Grant Thornton Bharat mein Partner hain, unka kehna hai ki yeh data GST ke andar chal rahi economic activity, goods ki smooth movement, aur trade ko formalize karne ko dikha raha hai. Unhone yeh bhi bataya ki March se jo thodi kami dikh rahi hai woh 'largely seasonal' hai, kyuki March mein aksar year-end sales aur inventory adjustments ki wajah se trade activity zyada hoti hai.
Abhi analysts yahi dekhenge ki West Asia conflict ka aage supply chains aur freight costs par kya effect hota hai, especially agar oil prices high rehti hain ya disruptions badhti hain. Lekin filhaal ke liye, yeh double-digit annual rise India ki domestic trade activity ke kaafi solid rehne ka signal de raha hai.
