Kotak Projects India’s BoP Surplus in FY27 with Possible Rate Hike in Second Half
Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund projects India will post a balance of payments surplus in fiscal year 2027, supported by stronger capital inflows and increased foreign direct investment. Headline inflation for FY27 has been revised down to 5%, with core inflation expected to trend toward 4% by year-end. GDP growth forecasts have been raised to 6.7%, reflecting improved domestic activity and easing supply pressures. Despite a softer inflation outlook, a 50 basis point rate hike is anticipated in the second half of FY27 due to inflation projections and potential US monetary tightening.
