MOSL: ECOSCOPE - Strong all-round economic recovery in November 2017-3QFY18 GDP growth projections face upside potential

​MOSL: ECOSCOPE - Strong all-round economic recovery in November 2017-3QFY18 GDP growth projections face upside potential

India's monthly economic activity index (EAI) grew at a strong 10% YoY in November 2017, marking the highest growth in 17 months. Favorable base and very high growth in fiscal spending supported the acceleration in November.

While the acceleration was broad-based, a 21-month high growth of 9.5% in investments - driven by construction activities, commercial auto sales and first growth in industrial credit in 14 months - is encouraging. Strong growth in exports also added to EAI growth in November 2017.

Further, the consumption index also grew at 8% YoY in November 2017, driven primarily by very high growth of ~44% in fiscal spending. Private consumption was relatively subdued.

Overall, while we expect EAI growth to moderate in December, better-than-expected growth in November imparts an upside potential to our 3QFY18 projection of 6.1% real GDP growth.
