India Projected to Reduce Government Debt Ratio by 2031, RBI Deputy Governor Says
Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Poonam Gupta stated that India is the only major emerging economy among nine with GDP over USD 1 trillion projected to reduce its government debt-to-GDP ratio from 84.3% in 2025-26 to 75.1% by 2031-32. This contrasts with rising debt ratios globally, including advanced and emerging economies. Gupta attributed India's outlook to fiscal consolidation, strong nominal GDP growth of about 11%, a lower primary deficit, and increased capital expenditure, which supports economic growth and private investment.
