Global ratings agency Fitch on Tuesday affirmed India's long-term foreign and local currency ratings at 'BBB-', the lowest investment grade, but said the outlook is "stable".
Further, the rating agency said it expected India's real Gross Domestic Product to grow at 7.7 per cent during 2017-18.
"India's positive GDP growth outlook stands out among peers," it said in a statement.
"Fitch forecasts India's real GDP growth to accelerate to 7.7 per cent in FY17-18, from 7.1 per cent in FY16."
The agency expects structural reforms to increase growth, along with higher real disposable income.
