Abstract: The Indian economy is likely to expand by 6.4 percent in 2015 as compared to 5.5 percent last year. The positive outlook is mainly led by an increase in growth in India, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) said in its 'Survey of Asia and the Pacific 2014 Year-end Update'. Attainment of this is possible with the contribution of investment by the public and the industries. This study focuses on the problems related to investment and financial forecasting in our country and its relation to the economic growth.
