Asia's third-largest $3.4 trillion economy is predicted to increase 7.3% in March, backed by robust consumer and government spending along with development in manufacturing, according to official projections.

According to Axis Bank Limited CEO Amitabh Chaudhary, India is now better positioned to accelerate economic development thanks to the goals of the present administration.

“We have elections due up in mid-2024 and we hope that the current government will ultimately be returned to power,” Chaudhry addressed Bloomberg Television's Haslinda Amin in Davos, Switzerland. "This ought to become helpful for India in achieving some of the goals along with some of the aspirations that mankind has talked about," he said. He said, "India is in the driver's seat."

Asia's third-largest $3.4 trillion economy is predicted to increase 7.3% in March, backed by robust consumer and government spending as well as expansion in manufacturing, according to official projections. The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has boosted infrastructure spending, and international businesses are establishing factories in India, particularly in the IT sector.

Last month, Modi's governing Bharatiya Janata Party won three major state elections, bolstering his push for a third term in government.

According to Chaudhary, who spoke with BTV, he does not anticipate the Reserve Bank of India lowering its benchmark rate this year and believes that US interest rates would stay high for some time.

India's third-largest private sector bank is Axis, situated in Mumbai. The lender claimed to be gaining from India's expanding wealthy population and the ensuing surge in expenditure.

In order to purchase Citigroup Inc.'s consumer business in India, which comprises the Wall Street giant's loan, credit card, wealth management, and retail banking activities, the bank inked a deal for 123 billion rupees ($1.5 billion) last year. The 3,200 workers at Citigroup were also covered by the agreement.

The business has previously issued a warning, stating that the RBI's recent rate hikes to combat inflation and strengthen the currency had made competition for deposits more fierce. As food prices increased in December, India's inflation reached a four-month high, bolstering the central bank's case for maintaining high interest rates for an extended period of time.
