India's GDP growth likely slowed to 6.9% in December quarter, data to be out on Thursday

Firstpost  

India’s economy likely grew at its slowest pace in over a year in the October-December quarter as weaker rural incomes and softer urban demand weighed on consumption, a Reuters poll showed Bengaluru: India’s economy likely grew at its slowest pace in over a year in the October-December quarter as weaker rural incomes and softer urban demand weighed on consumption, a Reuters poll showed. “Consumption drivers should remain modest as tight liquidity persisted through most of the quarter and farm distress restrained rural consumption,” said Charu Chanana, emerging Asia economist at Continuum Economics. However, global uncertainty over trade conflicts, Brexit and oil prices could add to growth headwinds in India, the RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee said. Gross value added growth, the government’s preferred measure, is expected to be 6.7 percent in the October-December quarter, marginally down from 6.9 percent in the previous three months.
