The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) maintains a positive growth forecast for India's economy, predicting a 7.2% expansion for the year ending March 2025. This is significantly higher than the government's projection of 6.5%-7% and investment banks like Goldman Sachs, which have lowered their estimates to 6.5%. The RBI attributes its optimistic outlook to improving rural spending and private investment, despite concerns over sluggish urban consumption and declining exports.
