Trade deal with US seen lifting growth by 20-30 bps in FY27

- FE BUREAU

THE SHARP REDUCTION in US tariffs from 50% to 18% on Indian goods, the lowest compared to Southeast Asian countries and China, may add 20-30 basis points (bps) to the GDP growth in FY27, offering support at a time when global trade conditions remain uncertain.

Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran indicated that India's growth next year could end up close to the current year's pace. Speaking to Bloomberg, he said growth in 2026-27 could be "probably something close to this year's growth estimate of 7.4%," though he added that this was an initial assessment subject to further analysis.

In the latest Economic Survey, finance ministry economists, led by Nageswaran, had projected growth in a range of 6.8%-7.2% for FY27, compared with the first advance estimate of 7.4% for FY26.

In an interview with Christina Titus and Mahesh Nayak, she says the rupee appreciation to the 88 level will see the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) gradually building its reserve and cutting its short position. These moves would see the domestic currency depreciating to the 90 level. Excerpts:
