Moody's Raises India's FY27 GDP Growth Forecast to 7 Percent, Flags Economic Risks
Moody's has raised India's GDP growth forecast for fiscal year 2026-27 to 7 percent from 6 percent, citing strong domestic demand, investment, infrastructure spending, and resilience amid the Middle East conflict. The agency noted India's economy grew 7.8 percent in the April-June quarter, exceeding expectations. However, Moody's flagged risks including elevated global energy prices, El Niño-related food price pressures, and fiscal challenges that could impact inflation, consumption, and fiscal consolidation. India's sovereign rating remains at Baa3 with a stable outlook.
