Rating agency Fitch has forecast India’s gross domestic product (GDP) to grow at 8.0% in 2015-16 and 8.3% the next year, based on the new data series. The forecasts according to earlier series were 6.5% and 6.8%, respectively.
But the agency cautioned that the cuts in government expenditure for meeting the 2014-15 fiscal deficit target — around Rs 1 lakh crore lower than the Budget esrimates, according to revised estimates — might temporarily have somewhat dampened the broader trend of a pick-up.
