Arun Jaitley says will reassess GDP forecast for 2015/16

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Tuesday he would reassess the official gross domestic product forecast for Asia's third-largest economy in the current fiscal year that ends next March.

The government now forecasts that the economy would achieve real growth of around 8 percent in the 2015/16 fiscal year. The pace of growth slowed by more than expected to 7 percent in the quarter to June.
