Fitch affirms India at 'BBB-' with stable outlook, says tariff impact on GDP will be 'modest'

Fitch Ratings on Monday affirmed India's Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BBB-' with a Stable Outlook.

India's ratings are supported by its robust growth and solid external finances, Fitch said in a press release. "A strengthening record on delivering growth with macro stability and improving fiscal credibility should drive a steady improvement in its structural metrics, including GDP per capita, and increase the likelihood that debt can trend modestly downward in the medium term."

US tariffs are a moderate downside risk to our forecast, but are subject to a high degree of uncertainty, said the rating agency. The Trump administration is planning to impose a 50% headline tariff on India by 27 August.
