Correct Answer :   6.5-6.8%

* Deloitte forecasts the Indian economy to grow at 6.5-6.8% in FY25, driven by strong domestic consumption, infrastructure development, and digitisation efforts.

* While challenges such as geopolitical tensions and global liquidity constraints may pose risks, India’s resilience in services, manufacturing exports, and stable capital markets provides a solid foundation for sustained economic growth.

Correct Answer :   6.5%

India's projected real GDP growth rate for FY25 and FY26 is estimated at 6.5%, supported by robust economic fundamentals despite some recent challenges.

While Q2 FY25 GDP growth eased to 5.4% from 6.7% in Q1 FY25 due to factors like a decline in manufacturing PMI and a slowdown in private consumption, inflation trends show improvement with CPI falling to 5.5% in November. The 6.5% projection reflects optimism for sustained economic growth.
