Sluggish growth momentum in the December quarter and emerging risk from the third COVID-19 wave may shave 80 basis points (bps) off India’s real gross domestic product (GDP) growth to 9 per cent for fiscal 2021-22 (FY22), according to Citigroup, whose India chief economist Samiran Chakraborty said There are reasons to be hopeful of a relatively less-disruptive COVID wave in terms of overall activity.

“These {reasons] include lower hospitalisation rates (currently seen in cities like Mumbai and experience from South Africa), shorter COVID wave cycle period (40 days of trough-to-peak of daily cases in SA [South Africa], compared to 90-100 days in previous waves), higher vaccination coverage (70 per cent second dose for adults in India), and weakening link between COVID and activity,” Chakraborty said in a research note.
Citigroup also revised FY23 estimate of real GDP forecast to 8.3 per cent year on year (YoY) in place of the earlier 8.7 per cent.
