Fitch Group Projects India's Growth to Slow to 6.6% in FY27 Amid Inflation and Risks
Fitch Group's BMI projects India's economic growth to slow to 6.6% in fiscal year 2026-27 from 7.7% in 2025-26, as the fiscal boost from last year's GST reforms fades and inflation, expected at 5.4%, reduces household incomes. Risks include a weaker monsoon and potential escalation in US-Iran tensions, which could raise oil prices and impact consumption. Despite the slowdown, India remains the fastest-growing large economy in the Asia-Pacific region, with regional growth forecasted at 4.1% in 2027.
