Moody’s has revised its forecast for India’s GDP growth in calendar year (CY) 2024, raising it to 7.1% from its earlier projection of 6.8% made in June. This upgrade highlights India’s key role in driving growth in the Asia-Pacific region, which is expected to outperform global economies in the coming years. Other global institutions like the World Bank and the IMF have also adjusted their projections, reflecting increasing confidence in India’s economic momentum despite potential global challenges.
India’s economy grew at 8.2% in FY24, driven by strong domestic demand, investments, and a robust services sector. While growth slowed to 6.7% in Q1 FY25, largely due to muted government expenditure and uneven monsoons, experts expect a rebound in the coming quarters. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) forecasts 7.2% growth for FY25.
While the growth forecast remains optimistic, India faces challenges from global economic uncertainties, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and commodity price fluctuations. Additionally, climate change, inflationary pressures, and monsoon variability may affect the economic trajectory.
