S&P raises India's FY27 growth forecast to 7% from 6.6%
S&P Global Ratings raised India's growth forecast for FY27 to 7%, up from its earlier 6.6% estimate. The agency attributed the upgrade to robust industrial activity, healthy consumption, strong goods exports and accelerating government investment, which pushed June-quarter growth above expectations. S&P also indicated the Reserve Bank of India may deliver a rate hike, aligning with other agencies' recent upward revisions to India's growth outlook.
