Fitch and HSBC Bank have projected India’s GDP growth in the range of 11 and 11.2 percent respectively. The World Bank has projected GDP growth rate for India at 5.4 percent. According to CNN, after plunging into recession for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century, India’s economy should come roaring back to life in 2021.

NEW DELHI: Data released on Friday by the Controller General of Accounts (CGA) showed that, as of the end of January 2021, India’s fiscal deficit had breached 66.8 per cent of the revised budget estimates for the current financial year (2020-21).
The Indian economy is expected to grow 13.7 per cent in the financial year 2021-22 (FY22), registering a strong rebound from a 7 per cent contraction this fiscal year, said Moody’s on Thursday, adding the country’s fiscal position would remain weak in 2021, posing a key credit challenge. Moody’s had in November last year projected the economy to contract 10.6 per cent in FY21 and return to growth of 10.8 per cent in FY22. The upgrade in growth forecast comes on the back of normalisation of activity and growing confidence in the market with the rollout of Covid-19 vaccine. On fiscal consolidation, the global rating agency said the prospects remain weak, particularly given the government’s mixed track record of implementing revenue-raising measures.
