PM Modi Leads EAC Meeting to Address Strategies for Enhancing Indias Economic Growth in Current Global Context

Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened a meeting with the Economic Advisory Council to address strategies for enhancing Indias economic growth in the face of ongoing global uncertainties. The discussion highlighted the need for robust policy measures to sustain and accelerate economic development as the world navigates various geopolitical challenges.

In a related announcement, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) decided to maintain the repo rate at 5.25%. This decision comes amid escalating geopolitical tensions and heightened inflationary pressures that continue to affect the Indian economy. Additionally, the RBI adjusted its forecasts, revising its GDP growth projections downwards and inflation estimates upwards for the fiscal year 2026-27. This indicates a more cautious outlook on economic recovery, suggesting that policymakers need to closely monitor external factors that could impact domestic stability and growth.

Such developments emphasize the importance of strategic economic planning and coordination between government and financial institutions to navigate the complexities of a fluctuating global landscape.
