FY26 GDP growth forecast at 6.5%: Crisil
New Delhi: A Crisil report on Monday projected India's gross domestic product (GDP) to grow at 6.5 per cent this fiscal (FY26), supported by improving domestic consumption, among other positive indicators. The Crisil Intelligence's near-term outlook report suggested US tariff-related global uncertainty as the top risk to India's growth. 'However, growth is expected to be supported by improving domestic consumption driven by an above-normal monsoon, income tax relief and the RBI MPC's rate cuts,' the report mentioned. GDP growth accelerated to 7.4 per cent on-year in the fourth quarter of last fiscal from 6.4 per cent in the previous quarter. Overall, GDP grew 6.5 per cent last fiscal (FY25). Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation slid to 2.1 per cent in June, the lowest in 77 months, as food inflation turned negative. 'Based on the inflation trajectory, prediction of an above-normal monsoon, and the expectation of soft global oil and commodity prices, we expect CPI inflation to soften to 4 per cent on average this fiscal from 4.6 per cent last fiscal,' the report mentioned. The report expects one more RBI Repo rate cut this fiscal, and a pause thereafter. 'The MPC cut the rate by 100 bps between February and June 2025. Its change in stance from accommodative to neutral in June highlights the front-loading of rate cuts and the data-dependent approach hereon The 100 bps CRR cut will be implemented in four tranches between September and November 2025,' it mentioned. On fiscal health, the Union Budget has targeted a reduction in the central government's fiscal deficit to 4.4 per cent of GDP this fiscal from 4.8 per cent last fiscal. 'Gross market borrowing is estimated at Rs 14.8 lakh crore for this fiscal, 5.8 per cent higher on-year. The government plans to carry out 54 per cent of the budgeted borrowing in the first half of the fiscal,' said the report. Fiscal deficit stood at 0.8 per cent of this fiscal's Budget target until May, lower than 3.1 per cent in the corresponding period last fiscal, driven by higher revenue receipts and lower revenue expenditure than last fiscal. The report further stated that it expects the current account deficit (CAD) to average 1.3 per cent of GDP this fiscal, compared with 0.6 per cent last fiscal.

‘Global employment epicenter': Crisil positions India as key to shifting labour markets; warns of skill gaps hindering full potential
AI-generated image As global labour markets undergo rapid transformation driven by ageing populations and accelerated digital adoption, India is uniquely positioned to become a key source of skilled workers, according to an analysis by Crisil Intelligence, quoted by ANI. "The global labour market is undergoing rapid transformation, with demand for skilled workers rising sharply across advanced as well as emerging economies because of ageing populations and businesses looking to adopt and scale up digitalisation,' the report noted. It further stated, 'India to become a global employment epicenter..., the global labour market is undergoing a contradictory situation, where some countries are experiencing rising unemployment even as employers struggle to find skilled workers.' The analysis highlighted a striking paradox: while several countries are grappling with rising unemployment, employers across regions are struggling to find skilled talent. This mismatch, Crisil observes, stems largely from demographic variations between nations. In advanced economies, falling birth rates and increasing life expectancy have led to ageing populations and a rising dependency ratio, intensifying workforce shortages. In contrast, developing and middle-income countries are witnessing population growth and a surge of young people entering the labour force. According to the International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook, by 2050, these nations are expected to contribute nearly two-thirds of all new entrants to the global workforce. India's demographic advantage is particularly pronounced, with 65 per cent of its population under the age of 35. This gives the country a significant opportunity to address global skill shortages, potentially becoming what Crisil terms a 'global employment epicenter.' However, the report also flags serious challenges within India's labour ecosystem. Despite a growing working-age population, issues of under-qualification and low formal skill training persist. The Periodic Labour Force Survey reveals that less than half of Indian graduates are considered employable, and only 4.4 per cent of the workforce has received formal vocational training. This skill gap continues to hinder India's ability to fully capitalise on its demographic dividend. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
