NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The Indian government said on Monday it expects the economy to grow at 7.2 percent in the fiscal year ending in March, up from 6.7 percent a year earlier.
Most private economists have already lowered India's growth forecast to around 7 percent for the 2018/19 fiscal year, compared with the Reserve Bank of India's earlier estimate of 7.4 percent, citing weakening consumption and slowdown in credit offtake.
