Chief Economic Adviser Krishnamurthy Subramanian told NDTV on Tuesday that "the worst is behind us" and economic recovery "is clearly on". His remarks in an exclusive interview to NDTV come a day after official data showed the country's gross domestic product (GDP) contracted a record 23.9 per cent in the quarter ended June 30, as the coronavirus pandemic and the resultant lockdowns hampered an already-slowing economy. The GDP reading was along the expected lines due to COVID-19 and the economy on the path of a "V-shaped recovery", the Chief Economic Adviser said.
