Fitch Ratings retains India’s ‘BBB-’ rating with stable outlook

30 Aug 2024 Evaluate

Amidst strong growth outlook and fiscal credibility, the global rating agency Fitch Ratings has retained India’s Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at ‘BBB-’ with a stable outlook. The ‘BBB’ rating reflects low default risk expectations, where the capacity to meet financial commitments remains adequate despite potential vulnerabilities from adverse business or economic conditions.

According to the rating agency, India is set to remain among the fastest-growing sovereigns globally with GDP growth of 7.2 per cent in the current fiscal year and 6.5 per cent in FY26, down from 8.2 per cent in FY24. It further noted that strengthening fiscal credibility from the recent achievement of deficit targets, enhanced transparency and buoyant revenues, have increased the likelihood that government debt can follow a modest downward trend in the medium term.

However, it flagged debt and debt service burden of India, compared to other ‘BBB’-rated peers. As per the agency, lagging structural metrics, including governance indicators and GDP per capita, also weigh on the rating. Fitch said public infrastructure capex remains a key growth driver and has improved spending quality, helping mitigate the drag from fiscal consolidation.
