India's Economic Growth Forecast to Slow Amid Investment and Oil Price Challenges
India's economic growth is projected to slow to 6.6% in fiscal year 2026-27 due to weak private investment and elevated crude oil prices, according to a Reuters poll of 42 economists. Growth is expected to modestly recover to 6.8% in FY2027-28. Despite strong corporate balance sheets and steady credit growth, demand uncertainty and higher energy costs pose challenges. The Reserve Bank of India is likely to prioritize inflation management amid these headwinds, while government spending continues to support growth.
