India’s economic growth rate to weaken at 6.6 pc in FY27 on slower investments, consumption: BMI
NEW DELHI, Jun 11 (PTI): India’s GDP is likely to grow at 6.6 per cent in the current fiscal as compared to 7.7 per cent in FY26, on weaker investments and consumption growth and trade shocks from the West Asia crisis, BMI, a Fitch group company, said.
According to government data released last week, GDP growth in FY26 accelerated to 7.7 per cent from 7.1 per cent in FY25, supported by healthy consumption and robust investment activity.
BMI expects the rupee to trade in the range of 95.1 against the US dollar this calender year. It said the rupee’s depreciation from its 87 average level in 2025 will support export competitiveness, offsetting the drag on GDP from the Iran conflict’s terms-of-trade shock.
