NEW DELHI: Moody's Ratings on Tuesday cut India's GDP growth projections for 2025 to 6.3%, from 6.5%, saying economies globally will see a slowdown on account of heightened US policy uncertainty and trade restrictions.

In its Global Macro Outlook 2025-26 (May update), Moody's said geopolitical stresses, like tension between India and Pakistan, also have a potential downside risk to its baseline growth forecasts.

Costs to investors and businesses are likely to rise as they factor in new geopolitical configurations when deciding where to invest, expand, and/or source goods, Moody's said.
