Rediff.com3 Mar 2023

Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) V Anantha Nageswaran on Thursday said describing India's recovery as 'K-shaped' was wrong as both rural and urban economies were recovering, albeit at different paces.

"I would say one segment's slope is more positive, and the other one slope is less positive but it is positive," Nageswaran said.
