India Ratings, however, also flagged some constraints on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the current fiscal year before the general elections, including a slip in global growth, which has hit Indian exports, tighter financial conditions upping cost of capital domestically, a deficit monsoon, and tepid manufacturing growth. ”All these risks will continue to weigh and restrict India’s GDP growth to 6.2 per cent in FY24, and the quarterly GDP growth, which came in at 7.8 per cent in the June quarter, is slated to slow down sequentially in the remaining three quarters of FY24,” its principal economist Sunil Kumar Sinha said. It can be noted that in FY23, the economy had grown at 7.2 per cent. The RBI expects the real GDP growth to come at 6.5 per cent for FY24. The agency said the consumption demand is not broad based, and estimated the Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) to grow 6.9 per cent in FY24 as against 7.5 per cent in FY23. The real wage growth of households belonging to the lower income bracket has been negative since the fourth quarter of FY21 and became marginally positive only the December quarter of FY23, it said, adding that the same for households belonging to the upper income bracket rose in the range of 9.5 per cent to 12.7 per cent during the same period.
