Economic survey: Official estimates could peg India's GDP growth range at 6-6.8%
Hindustan TimesNew Delhi: India will continue to remain the fastest growing major economy in the world in the next financial year with the official growth estimate likely to be between 6% and 6.8%, two people aware of the development said. Experts say global headwinds may affect India’s growth prospects mainly because of contraction in exports due to falling demand in major markets and high energy costs. EY India’s chief policy adviser DK Srivastava said growth in FY24 is expected to be in the range of 6-6.5% mainly because India’s exports are declining due to shrinking global demand. India has been the fastest growing major economy for the third year in a row — a bright spot in a global economy facing strong recessionary impulses, multi-decade high inflation, record levels of public debt and the squeezing of real household incomes,” Tata Sons chairman N. Chandrasekaran said in the forward of ‘INDIA@100: Realizing the potential of a US$26 trillion economy’, which was released on the side-lines of the World Economic Forum at Davos.
