Moody’s cuts India FY27 growth forecast to 6%, cites energy shocks and weaker consumption
Moody’s has revised India’s FY27 growth forecast down to 6% due to weaker consumer demand and slower industrial output, exacerbated by rising energy costs from the West Asia conflict. Higher import bills and subsidy spending will strain government finances. While strategic reserves offer short-term relief, persistent high energy prices could widen the trade deficit and impact inflation.
