India can achieve 8-9% growth with structural reforms: Ex-CEA Subramanian

India can unlock 8-9 per cent economic growth by accelerating structural reforms to reduce the cost of doing business and the cost of financing, former Chief Economic Adviser Krishnamurthy V Subramanian said on Monday. He called for implementing factor market reforms in land, labour, and capital, as well as judicial and bureaucratic reforms. "Macroeconomic stability got India to 7 per cent growth. Institutional reforms can take India to 9 per cent," Subramanian said told PTI in an interview. "India achieved above-8 per cent growth when private investment as a share of GDP was more than 30 per cent. We are currently at around 22-23 per cent, 7-8 per cent short of the target," he said. "We will then leapfrog from 7 to 9 per cent growth!" Subramanian said, adding that the public capital expenditure of the last five years has laid the infrastructure that private investment follows, and the banking system with gross NPAs near multi-decade lows is ready to support it. Subramanian, who .

Deloitte projects India's FY27 GDP growth at 6.5-6.8%, sees H2 recovery

Deloitte India on Sunday projected India's economy to grow at 6.5-6.8 per cent in the current fiscal, with growth expected to strengthen in the second half of the year supported by festive demand, monetary easing, and a gradual stabilisation in global conditions. In its latest edition of Economic Outlook report, Deloitte said India entered 2026 in a Goldilocks phase, with macroeconomic fundamentals appearing unusually well balanced, but geopolitical developments altered the global landscape with tensions in the Middle East disrupting critical shipping routes, triggering volatility in commodity prices and weakening investor sentiment. This resulted in a wider trade deficit, sustained capital outflows, and a sharp depreciation of the rupee against the US dollar within a matter of weeks. Against this backdrop, the RBI had last month lowered India's GDP growth estimates for current fiscal to 6.6 per cent, from 6.9 per cent estimated earlier. GDP grew 7.7 per cent in the previous (2025-2

India's GDP growth to slow to 6.6% in FY27 amid global headwinds: BMI

India's GDP is likely to grow at 6.6 per cent in the current fiscal as compared to 7.7 per cent in FY26, on weaker investments and consumption growth and trade shocks from the West Asia crisis, BMI, a Fitch group company, said. According to government data released last week, GDP growth in FY26 accelerated to 7.7 per cent from 7.1 per cent in FY25, supported by healthy consumption and robust investment activity. BMI expects the rupee to trade in the range of 95.1 against the US dollar this calender year. It said the rupee's depreciation from its 87 average level in 2025 will support export competitiveness, offsetting the drag on GDP from the Iran conflict's terms-of-trade shock. The GST reforms implemented in September 2025 caused a consumption boom in December quarter FY26. Thereafter, consumption growth fell by 1.1 percentage points to 7.1 per cent y-o-y in March quarter FY26. "Looking ahead, we continue to expect 6.6 per cent GDP growth in FY2026/27. Our projection represents a

GDP growth momentum intact, no immediate need for borrowing: Govt officials

The Indian economy is facing headwinds from external sectors with rising fuel and fertiliser import bills due to West Asia crisis, but GDP growth momentum remains intact with domestic consumption holding up, government sources said on Tuesday. Sources said the FY27 Budget had taken into cognisance the uncertainties in the global economy around tariffs, and the government do not immediately need to account for additional borrowing or bring in supplementary demands for grants in the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament. On the fiscal deficit front, sources said the budgeted target of 4.3 per cent of GDP is still intact, and the government is actively tapping its non-tax revenue areas like disinvestment and asset monetisation in the current fiscal. "DIPAM and DPE have a year-long pipeline and also a medium-term outlook of disinvestment and asset monetisation. I would hope the budgeted Rs 80,000 crore under this head exceeds BE and both the departments are working on it," a source sai
