S&P Global Ratings has kept India’s sovereign rating unchanged at the lowest investment grade of ‘BBB-’ for the 14th year in a row, and said the government’s ability to execute additional economic reforms that spur investment and create jobs will be crucial for recovery from the current economic slowdown. S&P projected a 9.5% GDP growth in the current fiscal year that began in April and a 7.8% expansion in the following year. The GDP which shrank from $2.87 trillion in 2019-20 to $2.66 trillion in the following year is projected to expand to $3.96 trillion in 2024-25. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019 envisioned making India a $5 trillion economy and a global economic powerhouse by 2024-25.
