RBI Raises FY27 GDP Growth Forecast to 6.7%, Lowers Inflation Projection to 5%
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised its GDP growth forecast for FY27 to 6.7%, citing resilient domestic demand and strong performance in Q1 despite global uncertainties like geopolitical tensions and volatile crude oil prices. The RBI kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25%, while lowering the inflation forecast to 5%, noting risks from food and fuel prices, El Nino-related monsoon variability, and supply chain disruptions. Core inflation remains stable, and policymakers emphasize monitoring evolving global and weather-related risks.
