GDP growth continued to outperform expectations in the first quarter of this fiscal, despite geopolitical headwinds stemming from the West Asia conflict, Crisil said.
The resilience of growth underscores the economy’s robust domestic fundamentals and its ability to navigate an increasingly uncertain global environment, it said.
The ratings firm increases its GDP growth forecast for this fiscal to 7 per cent from 6.6 per cent.
However, growth is likely to moderate in the second half of the fiscal as the boost from GST rate rationalisation is expected to wane and a less favourable statistical base effect will likely temper on-year growth prints. Moreover, risks from a below-normal monsoon and a challenging global environment persist, it said.
