India’s GDP growth likely to slow to 6.8% in FY25: Crisil

02 Dec 2024 Evaluate

Crisil in its latest report has said that India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth is likely to slow to 6.8 per cent this financial year 2024-25 (FY25), with the country logging disappointing growth in the July-September quarter. Last year, India grew at 8.2 per cent. As per the rating agency, the growth is weighed down by high interest rates and low fiscal impulse. It added ‘Risks are tilted toward the downside given the lacklustre second quarter growth number’. However, certain high-frequency indicators from October such as automobile sales and export growth are showing encouraging signs of a revival in the third quarter, indicating the slowdown in the second quarter could be transitory.

Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation’s official data showed that the Indian economy grew by 5.4 per cent in real terms in the July-September quarter of the current financial year 2024-25. The quarterly growth was quite lower than RBI’s forecast of 7 per cent. Last year same quarter, India grew 8.1 per cent. Indian economy grew 6.7 per cent in the April-June quarter, similarly lower than RBI’s 7.1 per cent forecast. Best part is that agricultural growth has risen and is likely to increase further due to expectations of a healthy kharif harvest on account of the monsoon being 8 per cent above the Long Period Average at the season’s end. Higher reservoir levels also bode well for rabi output. 

Crisil noted ‘All this should provide a fillip to agricultural incomes and rural consumption’. Additionally, increased kharif crop arrivals into the market are likely to ease the pressure on food inflation, which has been elevated for several months, eroding the purchasing power of both rural and urban households. It added ‘Easing inflation, along with the onset of the festive and wedding season, is likely to buoy consumption growth in the second half of this fiscal’.
