From surpassing estimates of multilateral bodies such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the country is likely to see a healthy GDP growth of over 8 per cent for FY24. Besides, the IMF as well as various rating agencies have set revised growth estimates for India, indicating a higher consumption fuelling more manufacturing in the country.
