India Growth Holds At 6.5% Amid West Asia War: IMF’s Krishna Srinivasan Speaks To NDTV’s Vishnu Som
Krishna Srinivasan NDTV Exclusive | India’s economy continues to demonstrate resilience, holding steady at 6.5% growth despite escalating West Asia tensions, according to IMF Asia Pacific Head Krishna Srinivasan in an exclusive interview with NDTV’s Vishnu Som. Srinivasan highlights that energy price volatility remains a key risk, with a prolonged oil shock potentially denting growth by up to 2% by 2027. He also warns that higher oil prices may widen India’s current account deficit, while fertiliser disruptions, freight costs, and insurance pressures add to inflation and supply chain concerns.
