India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) in its latest report has said that India’s gross domestic product (GDP) is likely to grow at 6.9 percent in the fiscal 2018-19 (FY19), slightly lower than Central Statistics Office’s (CSO) advance estimate of 7 percent. It indicated that Indian economy grew at 7.2 percent in 2017-18.
According to the report, the country's economic growth is expected to decelerate to 6.3 percent in Q4 (January-March) of 2018-19 as compared to 6.6 percent in Q3FY19. It noted that 2018-19 will be the second consecutive year of an economic slowdown in India. It also urged the new government to devise and execute both short-term and medium- to long-term measures to arrest the slowdown in the economy.
The rating agency has stated that while cyclical challenges can be addressed through short-term measures, the need of the hour is to address the structural challenges plaguing the Indian economy. It further said that although little can be done with regard to the global trade environment, certainly a more proactive policy intervention could be pursued to aggressively revive investment.
