Why did Asian Development Bank (ADB) first downgraded India's GDP Forecast to 6.7% and then upgraded it to 7% ? ADB downgrade could have been prompted by factors like slowing growth, fiscal deficits, or inflationary pressures, affecting India's economic prospects. Later ADB noted that Indian Economy grew remarkably in FY23, with strong momentum in manufacturing & services. Further growth in upcoming time will be driven by increase in consumption, which means inflation will continue its downward trend in tandem with global trends as per ADB. Also, exports are likely to be relatively muted in current FY due to slowing growth in major advanced economies, but may improve in FY24-25. Note: GDP forecasts are subject to revisions based on changing economic circumstances and evolving policy environments.

#Update The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has forecast India's economy to grow by 7% in FY 2024-25. Strong industrial and services sectors, increasing private investment, and urban consumption are driving this growth. The government's focus on employment-linked incentives is expected to boost job creation and domestic consumption. The central government's debt is expected to decrease, and the general government deficit is predicted to fall below 8% of GDP. India's current account deficit is expected to reduce due to stronger exports, lower imports, and increased remittances. However, inflation pressures and geopolitical risks remain concerns.
