ndia's Economic Growth to Moderate: Moody's Forecasts 6.4% GDP Expansion in 2025

Moody's Analytics projects India's GDP growth to slow to 6.4% in 2025, down from 6.6% in 2024, as new U.S. tariffs and softening global demand impact exports. The forecast, part of the "Asia-Pacific Outlook: Chaos Ahead" report, anticipates a broader economic slowdown across the region due to trade tensions and policy shifts. While India remains one of the fastest-growing major economies, challenges loom, including a weakening rupee and potential inflationary pressures. The report suggests that changes in fiscal and monetary policies may be necessary to achieve the projected growth rate, with the upcoming Union Budget expected to support domestic demand while aiming for fiscal consolidation.
