American credit rating agency Fitch Ratings recently cut India's economic growth forecast to 8.4 per cent for the current fiscal, but raised gross domestic product (GDP) growth projection for the next fiscal to 10.3 per cent. In October, the organisation had forecast a GDP growth of 8.7 per cent in fiscal 2021-22 and 10 per cent in fiscal 2022-23.

"We have cut our FY22 (financial year ending March 2022) GDP growth forecast, to 8.4 per cent (-0.3 pp). GDP growth momentum should peak in FY23, at 10.3 per cent (+0.2 pp), boosted by a consumer-led recovery and the easing of supply disruptions," Fitch said in its Global Economic Outlook.
