N.K. Singh, in a quick conversation with Business Today Television at the ICPP Growth Conference in New Delhi, responds to whether India can achieve a 6.5% growth rate in FY27. He points to recent upward revisions by global institutions like the World Bank and IMF, while also flagging key risks ahead.

With India maintaining a stricter fiscal path, alongside pressures from the West Asia crisis and rising oil prices, Singh outlines the challenges that could impact growth. He adds that the government may need to take some tough decisions in the short term to stay on track for long-term economic expansion.
