Since ages, India has held the flagship of being prosperous, economically viable, financially sound, rich in resources, and diverse in traditional and cultural aspects, yet has never failed to cater to the needs of crores of citizens. The economic factors and flow of financial wherewithal have pushed Indian economy to the brighter side of development. However, the growth aspects led to a significant decrease in the climatic and weather conditions and therefore an urgent need to mend up the environmental issues. Greenfield investments were sought as remedial measure to sustain the issues of environment as well as economic and financial feasibility in the form of investments. Investment is a gizmo for creating wealth by employing funds with an intention of achieving additional income or growth in the value and gets rewarded by return. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is such an investment wherein foreign investors make their funds employable in the foreign-based company either through greenfield investments, brownfield investments, or through portfolio investment. In Indian context, overseas investments can be made either through automatic route or through Reserve Bank of India and Government of India. The highlight of this paper is the significance of greenfield investments in the developmental aspects of Indian economy.

Purpose Over one and half years have passed since the demonetization of Indian economy had occurred on November 8, 2016. The drastic step was initiated by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi with an intention to curb the “huge” circulation of illicit or “black” money of Indian economy by means of withdrawal of high value denominations of Rupees 500 and Rupees 1,000 from the supply of broad money (M3). This step helped to demonetize around 86 per cent value of total money supply leading to an unprecedented chaos in the economy and public life. The long delays in issuing fresh currency notes at the banks and ATMs further deteriorated the sudden economic crisis. Design/methodology/approach This research paper is aimed at exploring the proclaimed “efficacy” of demonetization policy as proposed by Reserve Bank of India by means of a mathematical approach and critically examines the effects of demonetization on the illicit money supply of Indian economy on the basis of macroeconomic theory. Findings From the mathematical model and related estimates, it may be easily deduced that the Indian policymakers deliberately hurled the masses in one of the gravest economic crises with a clear-cut intention of creating a political gimmick, when in reality, the proportion of illegitimate money supply was not even 1 per cent of total legitimate supply of money. Originality/value The analyses and findings related to this paper are based on mathematical modeling and logical interpretations. This paper is free of plagiarism as all the necessary sources and references are properly cited.


The present situation of Indian economy is worse. The GDP growth rate is 5% which is very low compared to last five years trend. After a record fell down of short-term interest rates of commercial banks (below one percent), the Reserve bank of India has turned to quantitative easing (QE) to hold up economic growth. It is used by the government to amplify the supply of money in the economy. It leads to an increase in lending by commercial banks and spending by customers subsequently. On the other hand, these policies will boomerang greatly on economy and leads to extraordinarily high levels of inflation. If commercial banks fail to afford excess reserves, it may direct to unhinge in the money market. Simply it jeopardizes the entire economic system. To come out from this, Reserve Bank of India injects a fixed quantity of money into the economy by massive and unprecedented purchasing of financial assets from commercial banks and private entities. This leads to an increase in banks reserves. Quantitative easing is not a new word to the economic world; it is most popular from the times of great recession in US economy. There has been an explode of research on QE and its effects. Past studies tremendously agree that QE helps in ease financial conditions and there is no reason to doubt that it supports economic growth. It is not only very powerful in times of financial crisis, but also has a momentous effect in normal times. By and large, this research paper focuses on finding the reasons behind the slowdown of growth rate of Indian economy and provides the likely solutions to come out from the crisis.


The growth of Indian Economy is a combination of contribution of different sectors. The banking industry is the back bone of Indian Economy and its growing role in the Global Economy. Since, nationalization banking industry has witnessed many ups and downs in its sustainability. Though the banking industry is regulated by the Reserve Bank of India and policies of the Government from time to time towards its sustainability it needs to bring reforms in the strict implementation of Banking Regulation Act. During last two decades, banking industry has been reeling under financial crisis, losses and debts due to liberal loan sanction policies and poor recovery rate. This was due to frauds and corrupt practices due to some or other reason. This leads to financial burden not only on the Government but also on the people of the country. The present research paper examines the reasons for financial frauds and necessary suggestions are being made to mitigate the frauds and to develop strong and efficient control mechanism.

The currency stabilization policy was seen as a tool to protect the British economic interest while they ruled India. The currency came under serious pressure during the World War I and Great depression, the facets of Indian currency’s dependence was exposed through the modified council bill system and Gold exchange standard. The much-needed currency reforms and banking system were conceded by the colonial administration after much wrangling for half a century.

The forecasting graphs of World Bank, Reserve Bank of India, etc. are mostly line graphs or time series graphs. Any forecasting contains “standard error” as an error with complicated statistical formulae. A keen observation shows that mathematical patterns are available in nature, but in most of the cases, it is difficult for us to recognize these patterns. Similarly, it is most important for us to know the least upper bounds of these line graphs or time series graphs so that peaks of the prices with respect to time will not exceed these least upper bounds. It is hard to find any statistical or mathematical tool to determine these least upper bounds. Thus we give methodology to obtain these least upper bounds. We show existence of an equilibrium between the expected price and the original price of a commodity with the help of local functions and expansion operators of a bitopological space. These methods are based on choice of a consumer. Examples are provided to show that price of a commodity cannot exceed the interval of expected price. Moreover, we try to provide possible answers to the problem of “Control of Economic Variable” of Morgenstern [O. Morgenstern, Thirteen critical points in contemporary economic theory: An interpretation, Journal of Economic Literature 10(4) 1972 1163–1189] by determining least upper bounds.
