Government Maintains GDP Growth Momentum Amid External Challenges, Supports OMCs Financially
The Indian government reports that despite external challenges like rising fuel and fertiliser import costs due to the West Asia crisis, GDP growth momentum remains steady, supported by strong domestic consumption and private investment. The fiscal deficit target of 4.3% of GDP is maintained, with no immediate need for additional borrowing. The government is pursuing disinvestment, including IDBI Bank, and asset monetisation to boost non-tax revenues. Financial support of about Rs 1.23 lakh crore has been extended to Oil Marketing Companies to manage fuel prices, while fertilizer subsidies are expected to increase amid rising global costs. Macroeconomic data will be reassessed in July considering factors like the El Nino impact on monsoon.
