The study estimates the short-run as well as long-run macroeconomic determinants of country’s economic growth by applying time series analysis. The Johansen and Juselius multivariate co-integration test and the vector error correction (VEC) model are used to analyze the annual data from 1980-81 to 2010-11.

The result suggests that gross domestic capital formation, employment, export, foreign direct investment and money supply have positive effect on India’s GDP growth where as inflation and fiscal deficit have negative effect.

Further generalized variance decomposition assures the prudent impact of export and capital formation on GDP in
