As per the World Bank`s latest `Global Economic Prospects` (Jun-24), global
growth is likely to be 2.6% in 2024 despite flaring geopolitical tensions and a
high interest rate environment. For India, the World Bank estimates GDP
growth of 6.6% in 2024 and 6.7% in 2025 driven by domestic demand along with
a surge in investment and robust services activity.
• As per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), India`s GDP grew by 6.7% YoY in Ql FY25
and is estimated to grow by 7.2% in FY25.
• India`s latest macro-economic data reflect a resilient economy in the midst of a
slowing global economic landscape. Both manufacturing (Sep-24: 56.5) and
services (Sep-24: 57.7) PMI remain strong. GST collections remained strong
during the quarter with ~9% YoY increase.
• CPI inflation in Sep-24 rose to a nine-month high of 5.49%, however, it remains
within the RBl`s tolerance mark.
• Over the medium term, the power sector outlook is healthy, as rapid
urbanization, government led capex and a strong investment cycle are expected
to boost overall power demand.
• However, with base load capacity increase (including RTC with storage) lagging
the demand growth, supply increase is expected to lag demand growth over the
medium term, boding for tight demand - supply conditions.
