India in 1980 Ahead of China esp. in free enterprise and per capita earnings China in 1980 Still struggling with Communist Egalitarian past and lack of enterprise India in 2005 Full of vigour but political system still trapped in clanship management of the Nation instead of taking charge of enterprise China in 2005 Government took charge of enterprise in late 1980’s, transforming China into a modern industrial nation which increased per capita income by a factor of 5 How will India’s Industrial Growth look in 2010?

18 SUMMARY ON INDIA It will still take time to sort out distortions in society and its economy Acute shortage of infrastructure development in the country Above two weaknesses will limit economic growth For next 5 years India will have a negative trade balance Population growth means young labour force for next 20 years Hydrocarbon exploration in river deltas due perennial rivers from Himalayas will contribute to India being self-sufficient in energy Due globalisation of Indian economy Bombay Stock Exchange will continue in positive direction

19 CONCLUSION India will reach 8% Growth Rate in next 5 years Economy will grow to between 10 – 12% between 2010 – 2015 QUOTE: “We can be a developed Nation by 2020 if we make this our Mission Statement” – Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, Indian President Will India fulfil the President’s Statement? Will India’s Development have an effect on Global Shipping? Will International Ship Owners reap similar profits which they had from China over the last two years?
