NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The government on Monday forecast annual economic growth to accelerate to 7.6 percent in the fiscal year ending in March 2016 after Asia's third-largest economy grew 7.3 percent in the quarter to end-December.

The latest full-year estimate compares with a revised 7.2 percent growth a year earlier. The GDP growth in the December quarter was in line with the forecast of economists in a Reuters poll.
