After trimming the GDP forecast for 2012-13 to 6.7%, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s Advisory council has warned the government of India on the need to control fiscal and current account deficits to avoid the risk of a credit ratings scaling down to junk status.
The panel has urged the government to raise subsidized diesel prices and to adopt aggressive measures to attract more foreign investment, for easing pressure on the twin deficits. India's economic growth has lost momentum due to global economic slowdown, sluggish policymaking and more lately worries about a drought in parts of the country.
India's current account, the broadest measure of its trade in goods and services with the rest of the world, ballooned to a record deficit of $21.7 billion or 4.5 percent of GDP in the March quarter.
