India's FY26 Growth May Near 7%, Beat RBI's 6.7% Forecast: RBI Deputy Governor Poonam Gupta

India’s economic growth could come close to 7% in the financial year ending March, exceeding the Reserve Bank of India’s current 6.7% projection, RBI Deputy Governor Poonam Gupta said on Thursday.

Speaking at an event at the Madras School of Economics in Chennai, Gupta attributed the more optimistic outlook to expectations of a strong April-June quarter.

Official GDP figures for the quarter are scheduled to be released later this month, with economists currently forecasting growth between 6.9% and 8%.
