Fitch Ratings agency cut India's economic growth forecast for the next financial year starting April 1, 2019.
It has projected GDP Growth up to 6.8 per cent revised down from its previous estimate of 7 per cent.
This is due to weaker than expected momentum in the economy.
Fitch Ratings observes that Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has adopted a more market friendly monetary policy stance.
RBI has taken such steps because of below-target inflation rate and easier global monetary conditions than previously envisaged.
Fitch notes that a positive oil price outlook and expectations of ‘accelerating food prices’ in the coming months should support rural households’ income and consumption.
