NEW DELHI: India’s economic outlook remains positive, with the Reserve Bank of India projecting GDP growth of 7.1 per cent for the financial year 2026–27.
However, rising inflation has emerged as a concern, prompting the central bank to increase its inflation forecast to 5.2 per cent and raise the policy repo rate to 5.50 per cent.
