Image
Mumbai, Ta. 10 February 2021, Wednesday Given the high fiscal deficit and the slowdown in consolidation, India's medium-term growth outlook could play a key role in assessing India's sovereign ratings, said global ratings agency Fitch.

In 2012, India's public debt was 9% of GDP. In the next five years, the figure is likely to rise to more than 30 pe...
