S&P raises India FY27 GDP growth forecast to 7%, sees 25 bps RBI rate hike
In its Economic Activity for Asia Pacific report, S&P estimates consumer inflation to average 5.1 per cent in FY27
S&P Global Ratings has raised its forecast for India's real GDP growth in the fiscal year 2027 to 7% from 6.6%, citing stronger-than-expected growth in the June quarter and anticipating a 25 basis point rate hike by the Reserve Bank of India. The agency attributes the growth to robust industrial activity, healthy consumption, strong goods exports, and accelerating government investment.
However, the agency notes that the growth outlook may ease in the second half of the fiscal year due to fading benefits from GST rationalisation and income tax cuts, as well as weather-related risks.
