GDP growth in FY25 may hit 4-year low. Is Indian economy losing steam?

India Today  

India’s economic growth is expected to slow sharply to 6.4% in FY25, according to the first advance estimates released by the government. SECTORAL GROWTH MODERATION Dr. Manoranjan Sharma, Chief Economist at Infomerics Ratings, explained, “India’s GDP is expected to grow by 6.4% in FY25 over 7.2% in FY24. These shifts in consumer behaviour underline a broader transition in India’s consumption landscape, which may weigh on GDP growth in the short term but could offer opportunities for industries willing to adapt quickly. “India’s GDP growth projection of 6.4% for FY25 could temper investor sentiment, as lower growth expectations might lead to reduced corporate earnings forecasts, prompting portfolio adjustments,” he said. However, Mishra suggested that “effective government fiscal measures or potential interest rate cuts by the RBI could offer some relief.” A sustained slowdown in GDP growth could also affect foreign institutional investor sentiment.
