Domestic rating agency ICRA has said that the Indian economy will grow in the range of 7.6-7.8 percent in the current fiscal, despite the headwinds posed by muted global growth and an unfavourable monsoon outlook. The rating agency has further said that the improvement in macroeconomic fundamentals reflects the policy actions taken by the government and the central bank, which have been supplemented by tailwinds such as benign commodity prices.
ICRA has further pointed that higher government spending on infrastructure, simplification of clearances, easing of norms for foreign direct investment, continued reform momentum and further monetary easing of 0.5 percent are expected to support a revival in investment activity in the current fiscal, led by sectors such as roads, urban infrastructure and freight corridors.
It further said that two years post the currency crisis of 2013 and one year into the tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government, moderation in inflation, external account vulnerability and the central government's fiscal deficit have bolstered the Indian economy's ability to withstand bouts of global volatility and fluctuation in investor sentiment.
The rating agency has however said that the growth of gross value added (GVA) at basic prices is estimated to decline to 7 percent in Q4 FY15 from 7.5 percent in Q3 FY15, on account of factors such as crop damage caused by unseasonal rainfall, decline in growth of electricity, contraction in non-POL merchandise exports and moderation in the pace of expansion of central government spending. It also said that the pace of fresh investment in some sectors such as thermal power and steel is likely to remain sluggish on account of continuing constraints posed by the lingering sector-specific issues.
