The latest gross domestic production (GDP) figures showed that India’s growth slowed to 7.1 per cent in the April-June quarter, from 7.9 per cent in January-March. RBI has also said the near-term growth (8) for India seems brighter than last fiscal’s and the economy is likely to expand at 7.6 per cent in 20167.
