India to grow 7.3% this fiscal, 7.6% in next: ADB

  • Reversing two years of declining growth, Indian economy is set to expand 7.3 per cent in 2018-19 and 7.6 per cent in 2019-20, aided by various growth oriented new policy measures, says a new Asian Development Bank (ADB) report. In its latest Asian Development Outlook (ADO) 2018 report, the Manila-based Bank said that dip in GDP growth to 6.6 per cent in 2017-18 was driven in part by lingering effects of demonetisation, which impacted the informal sector in the first half of 2017-18.
