(PTI) New delhi date. ૨૦

Fitch Ratings lowered India's Economic Growth Rate (GDP) estimate from 7.2 per cent to 8.5 per cent for Fiscal Year 0-4 on Friday. Fitch attributed the decline in trade and consumer confidence to lower estimates.

Fitch stable India maintains India's rating BBB minus. Fitch's GDP estimates for fiscal year 0-8 are less than 8 percent of Moody's and less than 8 percent of Asian Development Bank's. The Reserve Bank of India has also reduced the GDP estimate from 5.4 per cent to 5 per cent for the financial year 1-3.

Fitch said in a statement that GDP will be 5.7 percent in fiscal year 5-7, and GDP in fiscal year 5-7. The Government of India is currently facing the problem of low economic growth and growing fiscal deficit.

It is worth mentioning that the government has indicated in a statement that due to the reduction of corporate tax, revenue will be reduced by 8% of GDP. However, the sale of Air India and BPCL will ease the problem of the government's fiscal deficit to some extent.

The rating agency has also said that the Reserve Bank of India will reduce interest rates by another 7.5 per cent. It may be recalled that the Reserve Bank of India has reduced interest rates by 5 per cent in five.

According to Fitch's view, the government will focus on economic growth in the second term of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. The government will focus on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The favorable impact of these auspicious measures of the government will be seen in the medium and long term.
