I am trying to resize this SVG file produced using inkscape
I have tried using viewBox="0 0 h w" attribute within the <svg/> but it crops the image instead of resizing. Thanks in anticipation
Inkscape doesn't add a viewBox attribute to the files it produces. That attribute is needed for scaling to work.
The solution is to convert the width and height values to a viewBox and then alter your width and height.
So add the following to your root <svg> tag:
viewBox="0 0 205 69"
Then change your width/height. If you want double size, you could do:
width="410" height="138"
Or if you want it to fill the page or it's parent container you could do:
width="100%" height="100%"
