RBI Raises FY27 GDP Growth Forecast to 7.1% Amid Inflation and Global Risks
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised its GDP growth forecast for FY27 to 7.1 percent from 6.7 percent, citing resilient domestic consumption and strong investment despite global challenges. Quarterly growth projections range from 7.2 percent in Q2 to 6.8 percent in Q4, with Q1 FY28 forecast at 7.1 percent. The RBI also increased its inflation forecast to 5.2 percent, signaling price pressures ahead. Global geopolitical tensions, commodity prices, and trade disruptions remain risks to the economic outlook, prompting a 25 basis point repo rate hike and a shift to a calibrated tightening stance.
