Ind-Ra raises India's FY25 GDP growth estimate to 7.1 pc: Strong government-private investment propel economic momentum

India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has revised India's GDP growth estimate for FY25 upwards to 7.1 per cent, exceeding the Reserve Bank of India's forecast of 7.0 per cent. The agency's outlook is supported by government capital expenditure and a revival in private sector investment. Challenges include uneven consumption demand and export sector obstacles. Despite positive indicators, constraints remain, such as high inflation and geopolitical uncertainties affecting exports.
