What happened, for context

Multiple international rating agencies revised upward their India GDP growth forecasts for fiscal year 2026-27 on September 23, 2026, following stronger-than-expected June-quarter economic data. Fitch raised its forecast to 6.9% from 6.4%, S&P to 7% from 6.6%, and OECD to 7.1% from 6.3%. All agencies cited resilient domestic demand, strong investment, and economic resilience to external shocks, while forecasting moderating growth in the second half of the fiscal year and expecting RBI interest rate increases.
