The World Bank, on April 8 pegged India's GDP growth rate for FY20 at 7.5 percent. It said this growth will be driven by investment -- particularly private, better exports and domestic consumption.

In its latest World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) cut India’s growth forecast by 20 basis points to 7.3 percent for the current financial year, citing National Accounts Statistics data, which indicated softer underlying momentum.

The IMF, on April 12 said, "India is projected to be growing over 7 percent both in 2019 and 2020 which makes it one of the fastest growing large economies of the world."

In the April meeting, the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) cut India's GDP growth forecast for FY20 to 7.2 percent, due to weakening global economic growth and slower pick-up in the domestic investment activity.
