The Reserve Bank of India on Friday lowered its FY27 GDP growth forecast to 6.6% from 6.9%, citing rising risks from the ongoing West Asia conflict, elevated energy prices, supply disruptions and weather-related uncertainties, while keeping the benchmark repo rate unchanged at 5.25%.
The central bank now expects GDP growth of 6.6% in the first quarter, 6.3% in the second quarter, 6.5% in the third quarter and 6.8% in the fourth quarter of FY27.
