NEW DELHI:

India's growth is expected to slow from 6.5% in 2024-25 to 6.3% in 2025-26 as the benefits to private investment from monetary easing and regulatory streamlining are expected to be offset by global economic weakness and policy uncertainty, the bank said in its latest edition of the South Asia Development Update.
