Moody’s has revised India’s real GDP growth forecast for the current fiscal year to 7%, up from its previous estimate of 6%. The upward revision reflects the resilience of the Indian economy despite uncertainties arising from the West Asia conflict. Moody’s expects India to grow faster than other G20 economies and emerging market sovereigns with similar credit ratings. Strong domestic growth, investment, and industrial production have supported the positive outlook. However, the agency has also highlighted risks such as elevated global energy prices, food-price pressures linked to El Niño, higher government expenditure, and potential fiscal pressures.
